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.

Can teenagers with premature ejaculation get better on their own?

Premature ejaculation in adolescents cannot heal by itself; they must go to local hospitals for systematic examination and treatment. Patients should first visit the urology or andrology department at local hospitals to determine the specific causes of premature ejaculation. If premature ejaculation is caused by an overly long foreskin or phimosis, a circumcision can be performed. After the surgery, the sensitivity of the glans penis will decrease, effectively improving the symptoms of premature ejaculation. If long-term masturbation leads to premature ejaculation, patients should quit the habit of masturbation as soon as possible.
