Intravaginal ejaculation latency time

"IELT" redirects here. Not to be confused with IELTS, the International English Language Testing System.

Intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) is the time it takes to ejaculate during vaginal penetration.[1] Average IELT varies between people and tends to decrease with age.

Some medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) affect IELT. IELT is one factor used to diagnose and treat conditions such as premature ejaculation.[1] IELT may be relevant in perceptions of sexual performance and actual satisfaction, which may also be dependent on many other factors.
