answer
The old “think about baseball” trick doesn’t work for guys with premature ejaculation (PE). They can’t control or delay ejaculation at, or shortly after penetration, whether they want to or not.

Of course, all men have a point of what we call “ejaculatory inevitability” during sex when they can’t hold back from an orgasm, no matter what. All men have an “ejaculatory threshold,” which is the amount of stimulation they can experience before reaching this “point of no return.” That threshold is lower in guys with PE, and their point of ejaculatory inevitability arrives much more quickly.
