Scientific evaluation of some of the complementary and alternative medicine approaches in the past few decades has proven their efficacy. These techniques are not new and have been in practice amongst sexologists since the 1960s. Non-pharmacological treatment options like naturopathy, yoga, tantra, tao, mindfulness, and acupuncture in sex therapy have been implicated for enhanced sexual fulfillment, pleasure and improved sexual function. ISSM defines acquired PE as вЂњreduction in latency time, often to about 3 minutes or less which is clinically significant and bothersomeвЂќ. International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) defines lifelong PE as вЂњa male sexual dysfunction characterized by ejaculation which is always or nearly always occurs prior to or within about one minute of vaginal penetration, or, a clinically significant and bothersome reduction in latency time and inability to delay ejaculation on all or nearly all vaginal penetrations and, negative personal consequences, such as distress, bother, frustration, and/or the avoidance of sexual intimacyвЂќ. PE is associated with increased personal distress and interpersonal difficulty adversely affecting self-esteem, self-confidence, quality of life of the person and relationship with the partner. Inability to control ejaculation and thereby prolonging sexual intercourse is also important for the diagnosis of PE. Studies show that 80% to 90% of men with a lifelong PE ejaculate within 1 minute. Length of time between penetration and ejaculation is one of the major components of diagnosis of PE which can be measured using a stopwatch or estimated. Three domains which define PE include short ejaculatory latency, perceived lack of control on ejaculation and negative personal consequences and interpersonal issues.

Still, it is one of the common conditions which are under-reported and under treated. PE can adversely affect the quality of life of the patients and his partner. Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most common male sexual dysfunction affecting around 30% of a male population.
