HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve has released the results of a recent survey on premature ejaculation. The web-based survey of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices and conducted by an independent third-party company.
“While this once-taboo subject has become more openly discussed recently, it’s important to remember that many men experience some form of it at some point in their lives,” said a rep.
Premature ejaculation (PE) is diagnosed when ejaculation happens at a minute or under once sexual activity has started.
According to the Adam & Eve poll, while 27% of the men said they had experienced PE, 73% said they had never had an issue. Only 19% of the female respondents said their partners had experienced PE and 81% said they had not.
“Premature ejaculation can occur for a variety of reasons,” said Dr. Jenni Skyler, resident sexologist at Adam & Eve. “Stress, anxiety and depression are some emotional issues that can cause PE. Physical conditions such as irregular hormone levels, or inflammation or infection of the urethra or prostate can also be causes.”
“While PE is frustrating for both partners, studies show that most issues of PE can be treated with behavioral techniques or exercises,” Skyler continued. “Certain medications have been shown great promise where behavioral exercises fail.”
Chad Davis, the company’s director of marketing, said that “Adam & Eve encourages adults to enjoy positive sexuality within their own comfort levels and boundaries.
