No direct proof but sometimes premature ejaculation could be due to anxiousness of having sex again after a long period of abstinence

Sexual Sensitivity: Long abstinence can increase sensitivity or anxiety, potentially leading to quicker ejaculation.
Psychological Factors: Stress or performance anxiety after abstinence may contribute more to premature ejaculation than abstinence itself.
Physical Factors: No strong evidence suggests abstinence alters the physical mechanisms of ejaculation.

If concerned about premature ejaculation, consider both physical and psychological factors. Consulting a healthcare professional can provide personalized advice.

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm recently married and we're thinking about having a baby. But I'm a bit worried because my penis is only around 2 to 2.5 inches when not erect and grows to about 4 inches during intercourse. The foreskin feels really tight, which makes things uncomfortable, and I notice my erection doesnt last long. I tried using coconut oil, and while it helped a bit with penetration, Im still left feeling not fully satisfied. Also, the fluid seems to come out too quickly after ejaculation. Is all this normal? Are there lotions for tight foreskin or is it okay to use oil on the penis? I'm looking for some advice on these concerns.
