A questionnaire was sent out to a cross-section of females aged between 18 and 45, which addressed the frequency of premature orgasm, if they ever felt a loss of control over the timing of the orgasm, and if the issue caused distress.

The results revealed that 40 per cent had experienced an orgasm earlier than desired at some point.

"For this group, female premature orgasm is more than bothersome.
We think it's as serious a distress as it is in men," Lead researcher Serafim Carvalho told LiveScience.
