Patient's question:
I have been dating my boyfriend for almost two years, and we started living together a few days ago. I feel like he finishes quickly right after he starts, and a few days later, when we had sex again, he was still the same as before. It seems like premature ejaculation. What should I do? I really love him and don't want to break up with him.Doctor's answer:
If the symptoms you describe occur only when you engage in sexual activity after a period of no sexual activity, and the first recurrence happens after resuming sexual activity, this situation generally does not indicate premature ejaculation. The diagnosis of premature ejaculation is usually made when regular marital sexual activity, after marriage, results in a consistent sexual duration of about one minute for three to six consecutive months. This condition is primarily caused by excessive excitement or nervousness during sexual activity, or a lack of sexual experience. In most cases, sexual regularity improves after having a sufficient number of sexual encounters.
