Premature ejaculation is climax that arrives sooner than the person or couple wanted, over and over, and causes distress. Occasional early finishes are ordinary. A stopwatch definition exists in clinics; lived definitions are about whether anyone is frustrated.

Anxiety feeds the loop. So can a habit of rushing from adolescence. Techniques include slowing stimulation, pauses, and sometimes medication or pelvic-floor work. A partner who sighs like a punctured tire makes the next round faster, not slower.

Sex can continue after ejaculation in other forms. Treating the first pulse as the credits rolling is a choice, not a law of physics. If the pattern is new and paired with pain or erection change, get a medical pass as well as a technique talk.
