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.
