Delayed ejaculation sometimes called the inability to ejaculate is a condition in which for men it takes a longer period of sexual stimulation to climax, relax and release semen from the penis (ejaculation).
Some men with delayed ejaculation are unable to ejaculate completely.
This condition can be a temporary or permanent problem. Possible causes of this condition include certain chronic conditions, surgeries, and medications.
Treatment for delayed ejaculation depends on the underlying cause.
It is normal for this to happen to men from time to time. This condition is only a problem if it continues or is stressful for you or your partner.
Symptoms
Some men with delayed ejaculation require 30 minutes or more of sexual arousal to reach orgasm and ejaculate. Others may not be able to ejaculate at all (anejaculation).
But there is no definitive time when you will be diagnosed with delayed ejaculation. While you may have delayed ejaculation if you are nervous or frustrated with the delay
or have had to stop the sexual activity because of fatigue, physical agitation, loss of erection, or at the request of your partner.
Some men often find it difficult to orgasm during sexual or other sexual activity with a partner. Some men can only ejaculate when masturbating.
Delayed ejaculation is divided into the following types based on symptoms:
Chronic versus acquired. Chronically delayed ejaculation indicates that the problem started at the time of sexual maturity.
While acquired delayed ejaculation occurs after a period of natural sexual intercourse.
General vs. Exhibitor. General delayed ejaculation is not limited to certain female partners or certain types of arousal. As indicated by its name, accidental delayed ejaculation occurs only in casual circumstances.
These categories help diagnose the underlying cause and determine the most effective treatment.

It may result from drug addiction or a mental health problem, such as depression, anxiety, or stress.

Psychological causes of delayed ejaculation include:
Depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions
Problems in relationships as a result of stress, miscommunication, or other problems
