Premature Ejaculatio: Premature ejaculation is rarely caused by a physical problem. It is most commonly caused by anxiety & too much stimulation, especially early in a relationship.

Are there particular foods that make premature ejaculation more likely?

No: There are no foods that make premature ejaculation (pe) more likely. However, pe is greatly affected by the mindset of the man. If he truly believes a particular food he ate will make him more likely to have pe, then his way of thinking can lead him to have more pe.

Is premature ejaculation fixeable ?

Premature: Ejaculation is sometimes called ill-timed ejaculation. It is a subjective evaluation. You may orgasm too quickly and not satisfy your partner. If you have concerns you can see your doc or a licensed sex therapist. It is not an illness. Peace and good health. Ask about the "squeeze technique."
