So I was curious if anyone had any idea what was going on here. I've had a fraught relationship with sex in my life. I've vacillated for years between ejaculating quickly and having anxiety about ejaculating quickly, and being able to last for a really long time. In recent times, I've been on a phase of ejaculating a lot quicker than I'd like again, and I'm trying to be mindful of what's going on. It seems to me, that when I start masturbating, I'm basically "ready" to orgasm right off the bat, and I'm extremely aroused and sensitive. When I have more control, I am aware of being aroused, but not being "locked and loaded" from the get-go. One other thing I noticed is that when I have been with women in the past, during the time when I ejaculate quickly, I produce a LOT of pre-cum when we're fooling around.

What I'm wondering is, how do I de-escalate the initial arousal, so I don't just go in ready to pop? I should mention I am a frequent porn user, so I'm guessing a lot of you will say that's the issue, and I should stop using porn. I guess I just don't understand the correlation between porn, and being super aroused as soon as I start masturbation.
