The cause of premature ejaculation is almost always psychological and is usually based in anxiety towards either the sexual act itself or the man's sexual partner. This is the one of the most common kinds of sexual problem and affects approximately 30% of men at some point in their lives.

Sometimes, the cause of premature ejaculation in young men is lack of sexual experience. Men often prematurely ejaculate during their first sexual experience, or if it has been a long time between sexual experiences. As they gain experience, though, men learn to control their ejaculation.

If, over time, a man finds that he cannot control his orgasm, the cause of premature ejaculation is probably psychological. He may have a deep-seeded anxiety towards sex. Or he may have unresolved anger towards his partner. Another cause of premature ejaculation may be fear of pregnancy. Some men mistakenly believe that if they ejaculate outside of the woman's body, she cannot get pregnant.

Stress can also be a cause of premature ejaculation. If a man can learn to handle his stress through various relaxation techniques, he can learn to control his ejaculation. Working on unresolved psychological issues can also help. This may include both sexual and non-sexual issues.
