Men aren't the only ones who might find themselves peaking too early in the sack. According to a new study, a small percentage of women also experience premature orgasm. The research, a survey of Portuguese women, found that 40 percent occasionally came to orgasm faster than they intended during sex. For about 3 percent of women, the problem was chronic. Traditionally, female sexual dysfunction has not received the same attention as male sexual dysfunction, and early orgasm is no exception.

Premature ejaculation occurs when a man reaches orgasm and ejaculates too quickly and without control. In other words, ejaculation occurs before a man wants it to happen. It may occur before or after beginning foreplay or intercourse.
The situation is similar to premature ejaculation in men, but has not been as widely studied. In , the journal Sexologies published a study that investigated how common premature orgasm was among a group of Portuguese women between the ages of 18 and Using a special questionnaire, the scientists asked the women to report if they reached orgasm too soon and, if they did, how often this happened. The women were also welcome to share their comments. Fourteen percent had them frequently.
