  1. Sexual Sensitivity: Long abstinence can increase sensitivity or anxiety, potentially leading to quicker ejaculation.

  2. Psychological Factors: Stress or performance anxiety after abstinence may contribute more to premature ejaculation than abstinence itself.

  3. 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.
