Premature ejaculation is typical for males who have just begun to have sex. In time, with greater experience, ejaculation should be delayed for a longer period... enough to satisfy the sexual partner. Using a condom may help to prevent early ejaculation. Both partners need patience and mutual understanding to overcome this problem. Sexual technique may be also important to avoid premature ejaculation. In some cases, medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are used to treat this functional sexual disorder.
