Absolutely!

Anxiety is the #1 sex killer. When you get anxious, there is an increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system - the part of your nervous system that controls ejaculation and penile detumescence.

Erection, by the contrary, is controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system.

There are several drugs that can improve your erections and delay ejaculation by blocking sympathetic action in the penis.

I used to take oral phentolamine (brand names Vigamed, Vasomax) 15 min. before sex and it was very effective. My erections were very hard and I was able to maintain them even after ejaculation (which always impressed my boyfriends but I never told them my secret).

Before we address anxiety, we need to clarify what early means exactly.

Apparently most guys no days think they have to last 20-30 or more minutes. The truth is that males ejaculate on average around 7 minutes into the show.

Most men end up suffering from 'performance issues' and kind of lose ability - some will prematurely ejaculate under duress.

[COLOR="Blue"]Also I remember reading one of my Vet books, some Animals actually Ejaculate quickly(typically Males), as a biological reaction for fear of being attacked/stopped/or a variety of reasons.

Some have made this their primary form of intercourse, some matings typically lasting for only a few seconds to a minute, while some only do so as a "last ditch effort" to finish up when startled, in order to still try and procreate, as male animals are typically at the highest point of danger when in coitus.

So it may be similar to say, that in Human males, the more worried or scared you are, the sooner you will ejaculate.[/COLOR]

It can actually. In my experience. It was the completely opposite. Since my bf has pretty bad anxiety issues, I wouldn't be able to get him off. And even when he would try he would just eventually give up not being able to. But he says that when he's masturbating alone, he does completely fine. It's all a matter of anxiety and so many other factors.
