It is very difficult to define what a “normal” penis size is or what the definition of a premature ejaculation is. The requirements vary between couples. In 2006 it was shown that the average lasting time for a male with premature ejaculation is 1.8 minutes while normal men lasted an average of 7.3 minutes. However, there have been reports that males who can last 25 minutes also complain of premature ejaculation. For this reason many men undergo penis enlargement surgery or look for remedies to stop premature ejaculation.

There are prescription medications available that stop premature ejaculation caused by anxiousness or nervousness.
