Premature ejaculation is one of the most common forms of male sexual dysfunction. It affects most men at some point in their life.
Ejaculation is controlled by the central nervous system. When you become sexually stimulated, signals are sent to your spinal cord and brain. When a certain level of excitement is reached, signals are then sent from your brain to your reproductive organs.
This causes semen to be released through the penis ejaculation. Ejaculation has 2 phases: emission and expulsion. Expulsion is when the muscles surrounding the urethra at the base of the penis contract forcing semen out of the penis. Usually, ejaculation and orgasm climax happen at the same time. In most cases your erection dissipates following this. Most cases of premature ejaculation do not have a clear cause, however with experience and age men usually learn to delay orgasm.
