Premature ejaculation can occur in men at any age, and there are several factors that can cause this sexual problem.

Before you begin treating your sexual dysfunction you first have to determine what it is. No matter the cause of your problem, all men suffering from premature ejaculation show some of the same signs and symptoms. Knowing what the symptoms of PE are can help you determine if this is your problem, or if you are suffering from another sexual problem.

What are the symptoms of premature ejaculation?

 The main symptom associated with premature ejaculation is ejaculating before you or your partner is ready causing stress and tension. While it is most often associated with vaginal sex the sexual problem can occur during any type of sexual activity, even masturbation. Though many men have difficulty recognizing these symptoms if the premature ejaculation occurs while they are pleasuring themselves. Premature ejaculation can happen as soon as the penis comes in contact with a woman's vagina, or a couples minutes after penetration. In most cases healthy care professionals agree that one of the symptoms of premature ejaculation is uncontrollable ejaculation after penetration in two minutes or less. It should be mentioned that simply because you occasionally orgasm shortly after penetration does not necessary mean that you have a problem with premature ejaculation. It is normal for couples to experience an occasional bout of short, quick sex that can still leave both partners satisfied. If you think you might be suffering from PE, it is always best to speak to your partner.

Symptoms of Primary and Secondary Premature Ejaculation

 The National Medical Society recognizes two different types of premature ejaculation that can affect men, and each one can be recognized by its individual signs and symptoms.

Symptoms of Lifelong Premature Ejaculation

 Lifetime or primary premature ejaculation begins during puberty, and it can dramatically affect a man's

ability to form a long lasting and satisfying relationship with their partners. This type of PE is usually caused by psychological issues that can be a result of a sexual or emotional trauma. It can also be caused by a severe insecurity that many boys feel when they are reaching puberty. While the symptoms of primary PE can lessen at times during his adult life, he will frequently experience the following problems;

• An inability to control ejaculation after vaginal penetration. In most cases the man will experience an orgasm in 60 seconds or less.
  
• He is almost always unable to control his ejaculations, especially during penetration.
  
• The man will often avoid any type of sexual intimacy, and often experiences frustration or stress in his daily and sexual life.

Symptoms of Acquired Premature Ejaculation

 Acquired or secondary premature ejaculation is more difficult to diagnose and treat. The International Society for Sexual Medicine has stated that there is still not enough information on this condition to publish a complete definition of it, that is based on science and evidence. While it is difficult to diagnose secondary PE, most researchers agree that it can be caused by psychological problems, but is more frequently a result of a medical condition or a combination of both. While secondary PE can affect men at any age, it does seem to be more common in men over 35. This may be due to the fact that by this age most men who developed the sexual problem during puberty have already been diagnosed. According to the American Psychiatric Association acquired premature ejaculation symptoms typically include;

• Frequently ejaculating before you or your partner is ready, and occurs with little stimulation or shortly after penetration.
  
• The sexual problem begins to cause stress and tension in your relationship.
  
• The problem appears after you have experienced several mutually satisfying sexual relationships.

Even though some men do learn how to occasionally control the symptoms of premature ejaculation, you should still speak to a health care professional. In some cases PE can be confused with other types of sexual disorders, including erectile dysfunction, which can be a result of a medial condition.

Conclusion

 Knowing the symptoms of PE can help you begin to treat it, so you can enjoy a healthy and satisfying sex life. It can also help you determine if you are suffering from premature ejaculation or another sexual dysfunction.
