Delayed Ejaculation
Delayed ejaculation is a condition where it takes an extended period of sexual stimulation—often 30 minutes or more—for a man to reach orgasm. In some cases, ejaculation may not occur at all despite a strong desire and adequate stimulation. This can be a lifelong pattern or a newly developed issue caused by medication, chronic health conditions, or psychological stressors. The resulting frustration can lead to a “spectator” effect, in which a person becomes overly focused on timing rather than on pleasure. Professional guidance can help identify the physical or mental barriers preventing a satisfying climax.
What is the main difference between Premature and Delayed Ejaculation?
The difference lies in the timing and sense of control. Premature Ejaculation (PE) involves climaxing sooner than desired (often within one minute), while Delayed Ejaculation is a persistent difficulty or inability to reach orgasm despite adequate stimulation. Both can be caused by a mix of psychological pressure and physical sensitivity.
