Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You need to get yourself evaluated to find the cause of this. If any problem is detected, then proceed further accordingly. However, in your age group, the most common cause is psychological in nature. In such situations, the erectile dysfunction is managed by a drug like Sildenafil or Tadalafil and a behavioral method called the Masters and Johnson technique. You can Google this technique and can start practicing it.

Regarding premature ejaculation, three minutes is not abnormal per se, and you can increase the time by practicing a few techniques like the start-stop technique, the squeeze technique, or the coitus interruption technique. It is quite difficult to explain here, but you can Google them or watch a video on the internet.

I hope this helps address your concerns.

Please feel free to reach out for any further clarification.

Thank you.
