Objectives: Premature ejaculation is the most common sexual disorder whose definition is still very controversial. The purpose of this study is to assess its incidence, social impact and support in our population. Methodology: It was a descriptive and cross-cutting study which took place in CNHU HKM and Ménontin district hospital over a period of one month from 15th May to 15th June 2016. Outcomes: 42.2% of the study population are faced with premature ejaculation. The average age of premature ejaculators was 39.0 years ± 13.5. The average intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) among premature ejaculators was 7.8 min ± 8.4 against 11.95 min ± 8.9 for non-premature ejaculators. 74.9% of respondents’ partners were satisfied with the intravaginal ejaculation latency time of their spouse. Only 28.1% of premature ejaculators resorted to treatment at least once to improve their intravaginal ejaculation latency time. Conclusion: Premature ejaculation is a cross-cutting issue in the population but the absence of consensus on its parameters prevents a satisfactory research.
