Brief Summary
Prospective, non-randomized, controlled, single-center study, to evaluate the efficacy of applied nominal electrical stimulation parameters given to premature ejaculation (PE) patients in order to prolong the ejaculatory latency time which will eventually increase the quality of their sexual life.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
All Self reported safety events (e.g. discomfort, pain, local irritation, local heat, noticeable changes in urination or bowl activity or any other complaint)
Procedure day
Change in ejaculation latency time
The difference between patient ejaculation latency time under perineal functional electrical stimulation during self-stimulation, and latency time during self-stimulation while no electrical stimulation is applied
Procedure day
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Incidence of post-treatment Adverse Events
72 hours
Other Outcomes (1)
Effects of applied electrical stimulation on Erection using Self Reported - User Questionnaire
Procedure day
Study Arms (2)
Functional TENS stimulation
EXPERIMENTALShort stimulation to identifying Sensory Threshold and Motor Threshold, followed by continuous functional electrical stimulation, throughout the entire self-stimulation phase \[from full erection to ejaculation\]
Non-stimulation treatment
SHAM COMPARATORShort stimulation to identifying Sensory Threshold and Motor Threshold, followed by continuous non-functional electrical stimulation, throughout the entire self-stimulation phase \[from full erection to ejaculation\]
Interventions
A short continuous electrical stimulation, beginning at 0 mAmp and gradually increased by +0.5 mAmp every 2-10 sec to identifying Sensory Threshold (Is) and Motor Threshold (Imc), followed by continuous functional electrical stimulation, throughout the entire self-stimulation phase, equal to his Icm'
