As early as the early 1940s, Shapiro divided premature ejaculation into two types: Type A, a manifestation of premature ejaculation that is popular among young people with high sexual drive but no difficulty in erection, who have never had good control over the ejaculation process; Type B, commonly seen in elderly people, often accompanied by erectile difficulties, occurs after having good control ability. Most people tend to view type B as a manifestation of impotence.
Premature ejaculation can also be divided into two categories: ① Premature ejaculation related to sexual partners, which is situational and improves when they change sexual partners, indicating that interpersonal conflicts that lead to confrontation play a role in maintaining sexual dysfunction. ② True premature ejaculation refers to ejaculation with less than 15 thrusts or less than 1 minute during sexual intercourse with different partners or in different occasions, also known as complete premature ejaculation. They are prone to producing a good response to medication treatment.
The classification of premature ejaculation can also be divided into two categories: primary premature ejaculation and secondary premature ejaculation based on whether there has been a satisfactory sexual history in the past. Premature ejaculation that occurs during first sexual intercourse is called primary premature ejaculation. Previously had satisfactory sexual activity, but later developed premature ejaculation, known as secondary premature ejaculation.
Premature ejaculation can be classified into three types based on the different manifestations of the condition.
