There is dispute as to whether premature ejaculation should be counted an instance of
impotence. It is evidently
a sign of male inadequacy and is commoner than, say, erectile impotence. Kinsey however
refused to recognise
premature ejaculation as a problem for the male, though it evidently caused distress to a
woman. Kinsey noted,
in justification, that many mammals ejaculate very rapidly. Some sexologists have retorted that
premature
ejaculation is definitely a problem for the man. Thus Brecher remarks that "It seems to me
very clear that on this
point Kinsey was quite wrong. The later Masters-Johnson studies of premature ejaculation
reveal in precisely
what respects he was wrong."
