Safe period: Is it reliable for women to use contraception during the safe period?

Excessive foreskin may increase the probability of premature ejaculation, but the occurrence of premature ejaculation is usually related to a variety of factors. Foreskin may indirectly affect sexual function due to increased local sensitivity or hygiene issues, but it is not the only or direct cause. Premature ejaculation is more commonly caused by psychological factors, abnormal nerve sensitivity, or diseases such as chronic prostatitis.

When the foreskin is too long, the glans being wrapped for a long time may lead to insufficient keratinization of the local skin and mucous membranes, making it more sensitive to external stimuli. Direct contact and friction of the glans during sex may trigger premature neural reflexes, and some men may experience a decrease in ejaculation control. Clinical observation found that the ejaculation latency period of some patients with circumcision was prolonged, but the individual differences were large.

Premature ejaculation is more related to abnormal regulation of the brain's ejaculation center. Chronic anxiety or tension may lower the ejaculation threshold, and relationship tension with a partner may also lead to psychological premature ejaculation. Pelvic congestion caused by chronic prostatitis can stimulate nerve reflex arcs, and peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes and other diseases can also affect control ability. These pathological factors are often more influential than simple foreskin problems.

It is recommended that those who are troubled by premature ejaculation first investigate psychological and pathological factors. Maintaining a regular sexual life will help establish a normal ejaculation reflex, and daily pelvic floor muscle training can improve control. When the foreskin is excessively long and combined with repeated inflammation or significantly affects the quality of life, circumcision may be considered after a doctor's evaluation. Avoid using local anesthetics on your own to delay ejaculation, as they may cause skin allergies or anorgasmia.
