Felix Economakis explains that performance anxiety can cause premature ejaculation by confusing the brain and causing you to focus on the wrong outcome.
Transcript
Performance anxiety can cause premature ejaculation because a person's worried on something bad happening, like, Oh, I hope I don't lose my erection. I hope I don't come too quickly, I might come too quickly. And, of course, they're focusing on the very thing they don't want to happen, and what you focus on, you kinda get more of. So they're focusing on things going badly and that confuses the brain; the brain goes, All I can focus on now is coming early, and then it kind of becomes self-fulfilling. So it's important to rehearse coping, take your time, breaking the flow, restarting and coping well.
