Premature Ejaculation: What Is It?
Content
Let’s be honest — no one wants to finish before things really get started. But if it’s happening more often than you’d like, or if it’s starting to affect your confidence, your sex life, or your relationship, it might be time to talk about premature ejaculation (PE).
At UPP, we believe better sex starts with real conversations. No shame, no awkwardness — just facts, tools, and support to help you take control again.

What Is Premature Ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation is when you consistently climax sooner than you or your partner would like — often within the first minute or two of penetration, and sometimes even before that.
It’s not just about timing. True PE also comes with a lack of control, distress, and often relationship strain. If you’re finishing fast and feeling frustrated, disconnected, or avoiding sex entirely — this might be what you’re dealing with.There are two types of PE:
It’s not just about timing. True PE also comes with a lack of control, distress, and often relationship strain. If you’re finishing fast and feeling frustrated, disconnected, or avoiding sex entirely — this might be what you’re dealing with.There are two types of PE:
- Lifelong PE: It’s been there since your first sexual experience.
- Acquired PE: It developed later in life, after a period of “normal” sexual function.
How Common Is It?
More common than most people think. Some studies say up to 39% of men experience premature ejaculation at some point in their lives. It can affect guys of all ages, and often shows up alongside other concerns like stress, anxiety, or erectile dysfunction.
The key? You’re not alone — and it’s absolutely treatable.

What Are the Signs?
Here’s how to know if what you’re experiencing might be PE:
- You ejaculate within a minute or two of penetration, often before you want to.
- You feel like you can’t control when you finish, no matter how hard you try.
- It’s starting to cause stress, anxiety, or avoidance of sex altogether.
- You feel disconnected from your partner or less confident in bed.
Occasional fast finishes happen — but when it’s consistent and upsetting, it’s time to explore support.
Why Does It Happen?
There’s no single cause, but PE can stem from a mix of physical, psychological, and emotional factors:
Physical contributors:
Physical contributors:
- Low serotonin levels (affects orgasm control)
- Hormonal imbalances
- Prostate or urethra inflammation
- High sensitivity or nerve response
Psychological contributors:
- Performance anxiety
- Stress or depression
- Guilt or shame around sex
- Past trauma or poor body image
Relationship factors can also play a role — like fear of disappointing your partner, tension, or lack of communication around sex.

💊 Medication
- SSRIs (like sertraline): originally antidepressants, but often prescribed off-label for PE due to their ability to delay ejaculation
- ED meds (like sildenafil/tadalafil): can help with confidence, stamina, and control — especially if ED and PE are both present
- Topical anesthetics: sprays or wipes with lidocaine or benzocaine reduce sensitivity and help you last longer without a prescription
