ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation happens when a man's pee-pee gets too excited and he has a party in his pants before he wants to. This makes him finish really quickly during sexy time, which can be frustrating for both him and his partner. Think of it like when you get so excited for dessert that you eat it all really quickly, but then you don't get to enjoy it as much as you wanted to.

There can be different reasons why this happens to a man, like feeling nervous or anxious, having too much stress, or not having enough experience with sex yet. Sometimes it can even be because of things like how he was raised or his genes.

But luckily, there are things that can help! Some men have found that practicing certain exercises or techniques during sex can help them learn how to control their excitement and last longer. There are also creams, sprays, or pills that can be used to help numb the pee-pee a little bit so that it doesn't get too excited too soon. And of course, talking to a doctor or therapist can also be a good way to figure out what's causing the problem and how to fix it.
