# What are the symptoms and signs of premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation isn't cause for concern if it doesn't happen often. But you might be diagnosed with premature ejaculation if you:

* Always or nearly always ejaculate within 1 to 3 minutes of penetration or masturbation;
* Are not able to delay ejaculation during sex all or nearly all the time;
* Feel distressed and frustrated, and tend to avoid sexual intimacy as a result.

Premature ejaculation can be classified as:

* Lifelong. Lifelong premature ejaculation occurs all or nearly all the time beginning with the first sexual encounter.
* Acquired. Acquired premature ejaculation develops after having previous sexual experiences without problems with ejaculation.
* Many people feel that they have symptoms of premature ejaculation, but the symptoms don't meet the criteria for a diagnosis. It's typical to experience early ejaculation at times.
