Symptoms of premature ejaculation
The most common symptom of premature ejaculation is a persistent inability to control or delay ejaculation for more than a minute after penetration during sexual intercourse. PE can occur during partnered sex or solo masturbation, with severity ranging from mild (occurring within 30 seconds to 1 minute of penetration) to severe (occurring within 15 seconds of penetration).
Not being able to control ejaculation can impact sexual enjoyment and be a major frustration for men and their sexual partners. Beyond the bedroom, premature ejaculation can lead to relationship problems and mental health problems, such as depression, low self-confidence, and performance anxiety.

How long is a man “supposed” to last in bed
People have different expectations when it comes to how long sex should last. So there’s no fixed time for when a man should ejaculate.
Despite a lack of research on how long sex should last and a considerable number of potential factors affecting the outcome, one 2005 study based on self-reported data identified times ranging from 33 seconds to 44 minutes, concluding an average time of sex to be 5.4 minutes.
When to seek help for PE
Caused by various physiological and psychological factors, premature ejaculation can happen to all men at some point in life. See your doctor if:
- PE makes you feel self-conscious or depressed
- PE is preventing you from pursuing healthy intimate relationships
- You’re concerned about your sexual performance and ejaculation
- You’re experiencing other sexual issues, like erectile dysfunction (ED)
