What is the defining criterion for Premature Ejaculation in the material?

• A. Ejaculation within 1 minute of vaginal penetration
• B. Ejaculation within 5 minutes
• C. Delayed ejaculation
• D. No ejaculation

Answer: (A)

At the heart of Premature Ejaculation is how quickly ejaculation occurs after penetration. In the material, the defining criterion is ejaculation within about one minute of vaginal penetration, typically on most sexual occasions, and with an ongoing difficulty in delaying ejaculation that causes distress or impairment. This one-minute threshold sets Premature Ejaculation apart from normal variation or from slower or absent ejaculation patterns. So the key point is that rapid ejaculation within one minute after penetration is the defining criterion.
