One of the more sensitive areas of discussion for men is typically that of sexual performance. The male has the stereotypical reputation for physical dominance and control, and this sort of expectation can easily transfer to matters of sexual intimacy. It's sometimes, and perhaps often, believed and expected that the male should have the capacity to sexually satisfy his partner most if not all of the time. Where a male is not able to regularly satisfy his partner, a problem of some sort is often presumed.

The problem most often defined in a male that relates to sexual functioning is premature ejaculation. Though premature ejaculation is not uncommon terminology, the specific definition of what premature ejaculation is can be difficult to pin down. What may be best accepted as the definition of premature ejaculation is the belief by the male and possibly his partner that the male's ejaculatory control is insufficient. This belief in itself certainly doesn't prove that a male has a particular poor ejaculatory response in comparison to other males, but it does indicate that sexual performance is a problem from that male's perspective, which is reason enough to at least give the situation consideration.

Males are sometimes curious about whether there's a specific baseline with respect to ejaculation times during intercourse. In other words, what's the average time that males typically orgasm during intercourse. The answer to that question may be impossible to ever answer with complete certainty, but there have been studies that indicate males delay orgasm following sexual penetration for six and a half minutes on average. Six and half minutes may or may not seem like a great deal of time, but it gives some indication of how realistic sexual performance expectations actually are. It should be noted that the six and a half minute range is not an absolute standard.

In the event that a male does not make it to the six and a half minute point prior to orgasm, it is not some form of concrete evidence that a sexual dysfunction exists. A better standard to use, again, may be the male's own perception that his sexual functioning is abnormal. While a male by himself can certainly come to the conclusion that he ejaculates too soon, getting input from a regular intimate partner would provide valuable insight into whether there's actually a problem. It's entirely possible that the male's partner may not perceive any problem with sexual functioning at all, and that the difficulty only lies in the male's self-perception.

In the event that an issue with premature ejaculation is suspected, there are a number of options available to treat the problem. Premature ejaculation is not especially uncommon, and usually responds well able to treatment.
