Premature Ejaculation: How Fast Is Too Fast?

Written by: Dr. Brian Steixner

Key Takeaways

Premature ejaculation (PE) is common but treatable.

Techniques like the stop-start and squeeze method can help.

Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic control for better stamina.

Supplements like Popstar Volume + Taste can enhance performance.

Popstar Delay Spray helps prolong pleasure and improve control.

Let’s be real—our society is all about speed. One-day shipping, fast food, instant streaming… and, well, sometimes sex follows suit. A quickie can be fun, efficient, and totally satisfying, but when you’re consistently wrapping things up faster than a TikTok video, you might be dealing with premature ejaculation (PE).

So, how quick is too quick? And more importantly, what can you do about it? Let’s talk about keeping the fun going without the grand finale arriving too early.

Premature Ejaculation: What You Need to Know

For anyone still suffering from PTSD over being picked last in gym class, don’t worry—this has nothing to do with physical education. PE, in this case, stands for premature ejaculation, the most common sexual dysfunction among men. In fact, up to 30% of guys experience it, and it can happen at any age.

Premature ejaculation is when a man ejaculates sooner during sexual activity than he or his partner would like. It’s more than just finishing fast—it can cause frustration, emotional distress, and a general loss of control. And let’s be honest, control is key in the bedroom. That’s why finding the right premature ejaculation treatment is crucial for improving both physical and emotional well-being.

Symptoms of Premature Ejaculation: When is Fast Too Fast?

Alright, let’s break it down: what actually counts as PE? Medically speaking, it’s defined as ejaculating within one minute of penetration. If that feels like a painfully short window, you’re not alone.

But it’s not just about timing—it’s also about control. If you feel like you can’t delay ejaculation, experience frustration, or start avoiding intimacy due to performance anxiety, you might be dealing with PE. And if you’re making excuses to skip sex altogether because you’re worried about the timing? That’s a sign it’s time to address it.

Performance anxiety in men plays a huge role in premature ejaculation. Worrying about finishing too soon can make it even harder (or not hard at all) to last longer. This vicious cycle can impact relationships, self-confidence, and overall sexual satisfaction.

The good news? You’re not stuck with it.

Premature Ejaculation vs. Erectile Dysfunction: What’s the Difference?

PE and erectile dysfunction (ED) often get lumped together, but they’re actually very different.

  • Erectile Dysfunction (ED) : Difficulty getting or keeping an erection.

  • Premature Ejaculation (PE) : Finishing way too quickly, even when you don’t want to.

Both can show up together, but they require different treatment approaches. While ED often calls for medication to maintain an erection, PE treatments focus on physical techniques, cognitive strategies, and sometimes topical solutions to help delay ejaculation.

So, what’s the game plan for keeping things going longer? Let’s get into it.

How to Last Longer: Tips, Tricks, and Game-Changers

If you’re looking to extend your performance, here are some expert-approved strategies:

  • Try the Stop-Start Method – When you feel like you’re about to finish, pause for a few seconds before resuming. Repeat as needed. Think of it like edging… but with a goal in mind.

  • The Squeeze Technique – When you’re nearing climax, gently squeeze the head of your penis to reduce arousal. (Yes, this works.)

  • Mind Over Matter – Redirect your focus away from the action. Counting backward from 100? Thinking about baseball stats? Whatever works.

  • Kegel Exercises – Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles helps improve control. To find these muscles, try stopping mid-stream while peeing. Now, practice tightening those muscles when you aren’t in the bathroom.

  • Try a Natural SupplementPopstar Volume + Taste Supplement  contains L-Arginine and other proven ingredients to enhance performance and control. More volume, better stamina, and improved taste? Sounds like a win-win.

  • Use a Delay Spray – A little numbing action can help take the edge off and give you more staying power. Popstar Delay Spray helps you last longer, stay in control, and keep the pleasure going.

Final Thoughts: It’s Not a Race, So Why Finish First?

Premature ejaculation is common, but it’s not something you have to accept as your fate. Whether it’s physical techniques, supplements, or lubricants, there are plenty of ways to take control and keep the party going.

Because let’s be real—no one really wants to be the Domino’s of the bedroom. Faster isn’t always better, and sometimes, a little extra time makes all the difference.

Absolutely performs as advertised. I've taken Popstar for several months, and can say without a doubt that my volume has increased significantly, even earning a "Whoa! That's a lot!" from my wife. I cannot attest to the taste, but I am certainly satisfied with the volume enhancement.

I always had big cumshots, i tried popstars just to see if they can get even bigger. It took me a week to see some effect but after a week...wooow, it makes a real difference, now my loads are bigger than ever.

After taking Popstar pills for two weeks, I noticed a big difference! My erections stay hard for a longer time and my orgasms are much more powerful. In addition, my volume has increased twice the amount as before. I am looking forward to having many more explosions!

I was skeptical. I’ve tried other products before but this has shown more visible results. My cream is thicker and tastier. It’s especially noticeable when I’m edging myself. The load size is bigger, but like I mentioned before, thicker. Will continue to use this.
