Frequency and Impacts
How many men suffer from premature ejaculation (PE)?
20 -30% of men may experience PE at some point in their lives. A smaller proportion of men will experience substantial distress because of it.
Who gets PE?
PE is not linked to any particular age group – studies have shown that as many men in their fifties have PE as men in their teens and early twenties. It appears PE crosses borders and cultures too, with men from many different backgrounds and cultures experiencing similar rates of PE.
