Talk:Delayed ejaculation

Prevention section needs encyclopedic or reputable sources
This sounds like a direct lift from an advice page rather than an encyclopedia entry. I think it needs to be rewritten or removed altogether since it cites no sources and is a matter of opinion.Larryisgood (talk) 15:23, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

bad external link
The third external link is to a page selling a book about premature ejaculation. I think this is inappropriate since: (1) the enty is not about premature ejaculation, and (2) the link's title is deceiving because it implies that one can read about how to solve a problem on a web page without buying something! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.162.118 (talk) 18:13, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

2-5 minutes?
That seems awfully short. Even the 30-45 minutes seems a bit short for me, I can take up to 3 hours (not constant intercourse, mind you.) I'd love to take 2-5 minutes! I can't even masturbate in that time. But seriously, men ejaculate after just 2-5 minutes of sex? This just doesn't seem right.ReignMan (talk) 08:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree. It isn't right at all. If you restrict the statement to be about men who are capable of achieving orgasm while being watched/measured/timed ... then perhaps the claim is valid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.53.28 (talk) 00:44, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Intercourse/Ejaculation durations
The 2-4 minutes delay to ejaculation is from a medical study with a stopwatch where the female timed the man from penetration to ejaculation and is considered reliable. Personal experiences with "ability to last" for extended periods of time have no bearing on it and only reflect either the person's volitional control over their ejaculation or that they too suffer from delayed ejaculation. Additionally, masturbation duration has shown to be a poor predictor of intercourse duration as men choose to masturbation for a certain time and can make it quick or last long depending on the desired effect.

not a disease
Delayed ejaculation is dealt with in this article as an illness or a disease which must be cured. Well, it's not. It is just another bad choice in research when some scientists choose to treated as such. Science should find ways to enable men to control their hardness and ejaculation, even if they want to delay climax for hours to satisfy their partners. I find the reasons stated in the article why delayed ejaculation is a problem unconvincing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.49.117.74 (talk) 15:38, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I suffer from this disorder and let me tell you it is not something you choose. I want to be able to ejaculate inside my girlfriend, and I have never been able to. Does that sound healthy to you? --69.181.126.92 (talk) 18:25, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

It may seem contradictory, but I agree with *both* of the above comments. Delayed ejaculation can have quite positive aspects when it is something that both partners desire, but the downsides, particularly when it is involuntary and insurmountable, can be really, really awful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.53.28 (talk) 20:49, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

A rather moot point, since this article obviously is referring to Delayed Ejaculation as an unwanted condition, from psychological or physiological issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.95.229 (talk) 23:00, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

I can assure you it is a problem. As a sufferer, I strongly disagree with your assertion. It's caused problems in my sex life, and led to mutual frustration. Many partners feel horrible if they cannot get their partner off. I envy those who have no issue ejaculating during intercourse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.9.203.94 (talk) 06:02, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Delayed ejaculation is NOT the inability to ejaculate
The definition of this article is not even linguistically correct. It says: "Delayed ejaculation ... is the inability to ejaculate". Since when "delayed" means "inability"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.49.117.74 (talk) 15:45, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed edit to causes, the "Traumatic masturbatory syndrome"
I am trying to make a proposed edit to the causes section of the article. Unfortunately, WikiPedia's edit filter blocked that attempt and identifies that as being "unconstructive". I believe the article's topic may have caused some unintentional flagging due to the nature of the subject.

Below is the proposed edit:

One proposed cause of delayed ejaculation is adaptation to a certain masturbatory technique. Lawrence Sank (1998) wrote about the "Traumatic masturbatory syndrome", when the sensations a man feels when masturbating may bear little resemblance to the sensations he experiences during intercourse. Factors such as pressure, angle and grip on the penis, such as the "death-grip", during masturbation can make for an experience so different from sex with a partner that the ability to ejaculate is reduced or eliminated.

Medication, link to Anorgasmia page
I added a "medication" subsection, content drawn largely from the "Anorgasmia" page. Anorgasmia is a subset of DE, but they share the same treatment. Since DE is exclusive to males, they should probably maintain separate pages. Joncolvin (talk) 19:49, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
