Respecting Multi-Dimensional Definitions of Premature Ejaculation ( PE )

In the 4^th Supplement of the Journal of Sexual Medicine published in September 2006, GA Broderick offers a differing viewpoint from an evidence based definition of premature ejaculation ( PE ). Some researchers prefer a strict approach based on intravaginal ejaculation latency time ( IELT ). Broderick advocates that there are multiple dimensions to premature ejaculation ( PE ) and the condition cannot be limited to one approach to measurement.

Professionals in the field attended the State of the Art Conference on Premature Ejaculation ( PE ) in 2005 and examined the current definitions available to clinicians studying the condition. Although there are a variety of definitions, the ones that encompass a well-rounded view, in Broderick’s view, are those that focus not only on IELT, but on the amount of distress a person feels, the perceived control over ejaculation, and amount of personal satisfaction the male and his partner experience during sexual intercourse. Broderick notes that the field as a whole is moving away from single points of measurement, such as IELT, and toward survey-based self-report that allows men to explore personal viewpoints on premature ejaculation ( PE ).
