Some Facts About Delayed Ejaculation
Delayed ejaculation (DE, also called by a variety of names) is a condition in which it takes a man an extended period of sexual stimulation for him to reach climax and release semen from the penis. Some men with DE are not able to ejaculate at all. Although it is normal for men to have DE from time to time, the problem can be temporary or lifelong. DE is a problem if it’s long term or if it causes distress for you or your partner.
