Lack of timing and ejaculatio praecox

Underlying factors in ejaculatio praecox are investigated through excerpts from the analysis of a man who suffered from this symptom for many years. The literature is reviewed, and the symptom complex is related both to the patient's character structure and to the difficult resistances that he presented in analysis. The roles of the concept of time and of an inability to conceive completion are studied, as is the type of prevailing anxiety seen in these patients.
