Ejaculatory Dysfunction
Ejaculatory dysfunction is a medical term for difficulties with ejaculation, including ejaculating too quickly, taking an unusually long time to ejaculate, being unable to ejaculate, or experiencing ejaculation without the normal release of semen.
Ejaculatory dysfunction can affect people of any age and may occur during masturbation, partnered sex, or both. It can be lifelong or develop later, and may happen consistently or only in certain situations.
Types of Ejaculatory Dysfunction
- Premature Ejaculation (PE): Ejaculation that happens sooner than a person wants, often before or shortly after penetration, accompanied by difficulty delaying ejaculation and personal distress.
- Delayed Ejaculation (DE): Taking an unusually long time to ejaculate or experiencing significant difficulty ejaculating despite adequate sexual stimulation.
- Anejaculation: The inability to ejaculate semen, even when experiencing sexual arousal or orgasm.
- Retrograde Ejaculation: A condition in which semen travels backward into the bladder rather than exiting through the penis during ejaculation.
- Situational Ejaculatory Dysfunction: Difficulty ejaculating under certain circumstances, such as during partnered sex but not during masturbation.
