Premature ejaculation occurs during the intercourse and men ejaculates sooner than they or their partner likes. If this happens from time to time there should not be a concern. However, if this is something that is frequently happening and a man ejaculates before initiating the intercourse of shortly afterward it can be considered premature ejaculation.
The premature ejaculation can be a result of any psychological situation or if can be a biological problem, though men feel embarrassed to talk about it, this is a very common problem and can be treated.

Ejaculation generally occurs within a minute after vaginal penetration
Inability of delaying ejaculation before or during the intercourse
Avoidance of sexual intimacy or frustration/negative personal consequences
Acquired (Secondary):
The secondary PE is presented in men who usually had not problems with the ejaculation process but as they get older this starts occurring. In most cases this is caused by any emotional problem, stress or
This presents the same symptoms as Primary PE, but as previously said, it starts happening after having a previous normal sexual life.
Grades of PE:
Grade 1: This usually refers to those who encounter PE when having any emotional problem or stress
Grade 2: In this grade ejaculation is presented within 1-5 minutes of vaginal penetration

Grade 4: now, this is a more serious disorder and a man ejaculates before the penetration.
Physical or Psychological Problem?
¨The problem is in the mind not in the penis¨ such a common saying that results to be most of the times true. Premature ejaculation has been pointed as a mental/psychological issue and not physical like some people initially think.
In spite of everything, the brain is in charge of perceiving and managing sexual impulses and is linked with the physical and mental stimulation during sexual actions. Unlike sexual activities carried out with a partner, masturbation requires the construction of a fantasy in the mind in order to become self-aroused and get an erection. In some cases, self-arousal cannot be controlled since puberty and as a result, one becomes over-aroused and aims to ejaculate as soon as possible. This is the main cause of Primary PE.
In addition to the ¨embarrassment¨ premature ejaculation can make extremely difficult the Fertilization process for those couples who are looking to get pregnant, and if PE treatment is not done or effective, fertility treatment must be seek.
