I have a girlfriend and recently I’ve been dealing with premature ejaculation. Never been a serious issue before and would rarely happen with other girls in the past, but now every time I have sex with my gf I come in like 1 min. I can only last longer like 10 min if I masturbate before or if we go on a second or third round which is rare because she doesn’t really enjoy going for a second round because she is tired as I usually make her orgasm some other way . She told me yesterday that I should maybe see a doctor because it’s not normal to come so quick. I don’t know if it’s physical or mental. I’ve been dealing with a lot of work and life stress and depressive stages, and knowing she feels this way only makes me more stressed and anxious. I’m thinking about seeing a doctor to check what can help my situation or try some numbing gel if I can get it, but I don’t really know what to do. Any advice? I spoke with a friend of mine that had the same problem a few years ago and he said it’s all in the head, he was treated for anxiety and takes daily medication that also cured his premature ejaculation, and he recommended me to see a psychoanalyst submitted by /u/EastAssociation9270
