The causes of premature ejaculation may be related to these factors, with psychological issues being one of the main ones. Men may experience premature ejaculation if they are forced to interrupt sexual activity, startled, or disturbed by negative external factors. It could also be due to a lack of sexual knowledge in the patient, as prolonged exposure to inappropriate videos can trigger premature ejaculation.
