Quick answer: NoFap premature ejaculation: there's no evidence that NoFap treats premature ejaculation (PE), and long abstinence can make the first encounter quicker. Effective PE treatments include behavioural techniques, pelvic floor exercises, counselling and some medicines. If PE bothers you, a doctor can help.
What PE is
Ejaculating sooner than you or your partner would like, often within a minute or two, frequently enough to cause distress (Mayo Clinic).
