This is my first guide, so please bear with me

Common causes of Premature Ejaculation and how to treat it
Introduction
Premature ejaculation (which I will reference as PE from now on) can be defined in two ways:
1. When you ejaculate before you want to during sex (source).
2. Cumming within 1 minute of intercourse (source).
However, the second one is total BS in most of our opinions. Would you count cuming in 2 minutes as normal sex? No lol. Makes no sense.
Oh boy. SO the first time I had sex I probably lasted tops 5 minutes (this includes me stopping my pumps to try and lock in, maybe 1-3 minutes of pumping in total) before splurging my essence everywhere. Felt amazing, but miliseconds later I realized what I had just done. End of story: she never called me again
How to identify if you have PE
If you think you have it, then you unfortunately do. If you're cuming before you want to, or can't perform sex like you want then you have PE. But don't worry, about 30-40% of men have or actively experience PE (source), and it is NOT a disease or something that you cannot fix. It's not over.
Common causes of PE
The most common cause isn't something you need medicine or other supps for, the issue is usually your brain. Lets go through how to identify what your issue is:Causes include physical problems, chemical imbalances and emotional/psychological factors (source).
Emotional/psychological factors
Some of the most common of these causes are:
- Nervousness/performance anxiety. If you think to yourself "not to mess it up", or if you're overly excited, nervous because it's your first time (ever or in a while), because you ejaculated quickly last time etc etc then your issue is likely linked to anxiety. From my personal experience this was the #1 cause.
- Stress. Doesn't have to be stress specific to sex. Stress from work, school, sports etc can all negatively effect sex.
- Depressive thoughts. Feeling guilty, overwhelmed, detached etc commonly leads to PE.
- Poor self esteem. Linked directly to the first point about anxiety.
Physical/chemical factors
Some of the most common chemical reasons for PE:
- Low serotonin or dopamine levels. Serotonin helps control how the brain manages emotion, sleep and sexual desire. High amounts can lead to lasting longer and low amounts to the opposite.
- Unnormal oxytocin levels. Oxytocin has a direct connection to ejaculation. Having an irregular level of it is tied to PE.
- Having a sensitive dick. Not really common in todays age (death grip gooning), but having a sensitive penis will obviously lead to ejaculating quicker.
- Other irregular hormones. If you're body is out of whack then your dick is too. Try to healthmaxx a bit and stop eating pure slop.
Now that we know some of the most common causes, lets look at potential fixes

Fixes for common causes
Since we started with psychological last time I'm gonna do the same now.
Psychological fixes.
If you suffer from stress, depression and/or poor self esteem then you need to handle those things first. If you're going to take meds for any of them, then please do your research on their downsides (specifically related to PE).
If your problem is nervousness/anxiety (like mine was) then your issue is probably a bit more complex.
Here's a list of the most common causes for anxiety, as well as the fixes:
- Fear of underperforming, cumming fast (fear that you wont satisfy your partner).
Fix: Stop focusing on your partner. It sounds weird, but putting all your focus on just "satisfying" yourself will do wonder. It takes the pressure of you and therefore greatly reduces anxiety. You have to go into sex with this mindset, just be a bit nonchalant and be a bit egotistical. This is something that Barbara Keesling (author and lowk goat of sex ed) preached. - Insecurity related to your penis.
Fix: Look, it's normal to be insecure about your dick (especially if you're on org, since the average dick here is 9x7, and since kids at school all have 11 inchers). But in most cases the insecurity is completely unecassary. There are multiple reasons for why you're most likely insecure for no reason, and here's me "debunking" them:
1. "Too small". In most cases, your dick is AVERAGE (14.7cm or 5.6 inches BONEPRESSED). If your dick is a bit smaller, then you can do Penis Enlargement and lengthen it by a few centimeters. You can also increase the girth.
Something important related to length is girl inches. This may sound like cope, but like this thread explains, it is a legitimate thing. Go read that thread if you are insecure about the size.
2. "Ugly". Just, just no. All dicks are ugly. If you're seriously concerned about how ugly it is then consult a sex therapist, but most girls wont mind.
This is all I'm going to talk about related to penis insecurity. - Insecurity about your physique/looks.
Fix: Of course try to improve your looks and body by looksmaxxing and going to the gym. But you also need to try and be a bit more positive about your looks. If you think it's necassary then talk to a therapist or counseler if you're in school.
Physical/chemical fixes.
If you think you have irregular serotonin and/or dopamine levels (you likely do), then these are some thing you should be doing:
- Stop watching porn. Porn has direct links to worsening serotonin and dopamine production and receptors. It also has negative effects on hemoglobin. Read more about it here.
- Bad diet. There's a bunch of threads on here that explain some diet related things, so I won't get into it here. But here you can read a bit about diet importance for dopamine.
- Cut down on shortform content. Frying your brain on tiktok, instagram reels etc for hours a day will not do you any good. I'm not telling you to go cold turkey, but definetly look into some screen time restrictors.
If you believe you have a sensitive dick then there are some things you can do:
- Natural exercises. There are a lot of exercises you can do to improve on this issue, here's a link to some but I suggest doing more research on your own.
- Topicals. Using topical spraws or creams some time before sex can GREATLY lower sensitivity. Remember to wash it off before intercourse though otherwise your partner will also be desensitized. Some info here.
TL;DR
- Focus on pleasuring yourself during sex, not you partner.
- Anxiety is awful for your sexual performance.
- Natural exercises and topicals exist for lowering penis sensitivity.
- It's not over.
- (read the thread mf this is super high effort)
Lmk if I didn't go deep enough into any of this, got really tired at the end but I'm dedicated for the "DNR" responds.
Thanks for reading
