Premature ejaculation:
Causes
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Premature ejaculation may result from anxiety and is typically linked to immature sexual experiences. However, the true cause is undetermined. Other psychological factors may include anxiety or guilt regarding sexual intercourse, unconscious fears about the vagina, and negative cultural conditioning.
However, psychological factors aren’t always the cause of premature ejaculation because this disorder can occur in emotionally healthy males with stable, positive relationships. Rarely, premature ejaculation may be linked to an underlying degenerative neurologic disorder, such as multiple sclerosis, or an inflammatory process, such as posterior urethritis or prostatitis.
