A prolonged foreskin definitely leads to premature ejaculation, because if the foreskin is too long, it constantly covers the glans, which generally does not get exposed. As a result, the glans receives less external stimulation and becomes more sensitive. Therefore, during sexual activity, as the penis erects and the glans is exposed and comes into contact with a partner’s body, its heightened sensitivity can lead to premature ejaculation. Thus, an elongated foreskin certainly causes premature ejaculation.

Premature ejaculation is classified into several types.

Generally, we classify premature ejaculation into two main categories: primary premature ejaculation and secondary premature ejaculation. Primary premature ejaculation means that the patient has experienced premature ejaculation since their first sexual encounter, and it has always been present. This is referred to as primary premature ejaculation. On the other hand, secondary premature ejaculation refers to those cases where previously, sexual activities were relatively satisfying without incidents of premature ejaculation, meaning the duration of sexual activity was relatively long and both partners were satisfied. However, premature ejaculation developed later due to some reasons. This is called secondary premature ejaculation.

Does excessive masturbation lead to premature ejaculation?

Occasional masturbation does not have a significant impact on the body and does not cause premature ejaculation. However, long-term and frequent masturbation can lead to psychological and physiological dependence.

Is premature ejaculation the same as ejaculating quickly?

Premature ejaculation and rapid ejaculation are not the same thing, but they are related and connected. There isn't an absolute standard to distinguish them; it should be judged based on the duration, the number of thrusts, the satisfaction of both parties, the male's ability to control, and the persistence of duration.

Is dorsal nerve blocking surgery good for premature ejaculation?

Dorsal penile nerve block surgery involves selectively severing some branches of the dorsal nerve of the penis. Its main risks are that if too few nerves are cut, it may not achieve the therapeutic purpose, and if too many are cut, it could affect the erectile function of the penis, resulting in impotence, or even cause numbness or dullness in the local area, leading to an inability to ejaculate. Therefore, dorsal penile nerve block surgery should be cautiously considered and not used as a routine method for treating premature ejaculation.
