The normal physical response is for the man to experience climax, and therefore, ejaculate approximately 2 to 3 minutes after penetrating the vagina . However, many women may not experience orgasm at all, particularly if intercourse involves only penetration of the vagina by the penis . Other methods of sexual stimulation may be necessary for the woman to attain orgasm.
Premature ejaculation is the most frequently encountered sexual complaint of men and couples.
It is most common in adolescents, young adults, and other sexually naive males. Attaining adequate knowledge regarding normal sexual responses of both males and females prior to engaging in sexual activity may prove useful in preventing this condition. Useful information is more likely to be obtained from interviewing the person or the couple. It is critical that this issue be addressed with a health care provider with whom the person or couple can feel comfortable and openly discuss sexual behaviors and concerns. Treatment may involve the provider simply explaining why premature ejaculation occurs, assuring the person or couple that it is a normal part of the male sexual response, and providing techniques that may assist the man in learning to delay ejaculation.
