Ejaculation is controlled by the central nervous system. When men are sexually stimulated, signals are sent to the spinal cord and brain and on reaching a certain level of excitement, signals are then sent from the brain to reproductive organs. This causes semen to be ejected through the penis (ejaculation). 

Premature ejaculation occurs in men when semen leaves the body (ejaculate) sooner than wanted during sex. It is also known as rapid ejaculation, premature climax or early ejaculation.  Premature ejaculation is a common sexual complaint. The problem is often thought to be psychological, but biology may also play a role. It can be frustrating if it makes sex less enjoyable and impacts relationships. If it happens often and causes problems, your health care provider can help.
