Brief Answer: It is very common Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic. Premature ejaculation is a common condition, especially in people less than 40 years of age. Ejaculation is considered premature if it occurs within 1.5 minutes of insertion. Mostly stress and anxiety are the causes. though there can also be other causes like increased penile sensitivity, abdominal surgery or infection of the prostate. There are a few methods that can be used to interfere with premature ejaculation. One of the methods used is squeeze method. In this a squeeze is applied by the female partner just below the glans for 3 -4 seconds when there is urge to ejaculate. This squeeze should cause discomfort but should not cause pain. This stops the desire of ejaculating. Another method is stop-start method. Distraction technique is also useful in which you focus on something else when there is urge to ejaculate. If these techniques are not helpful, then you may visit a sexual health clinic or urologist. Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further. Dr Vaishalee
