Is this PE or something deeper?

First off I acquired my premature ejaculation through years of constant masterbation. For the past like 2 years I have been cumming fast when masterbating like around 2-4 minutes. I recently have been training my body to deal with stimulation, like I have been stretching, doing reverse kegals and only stroking once every like 5 seconds while masterbating. I have been doing this now for about 2 weeks and I’m still yet to see improvement. Whenever I jerk off at normal speed I have actually noticed I am cumming faster than normal, like 1 minute. So I have been thinking to myself, if the normal conditioning isn’t fixing the PE like it’s supposed to maybe it’s because of something more than that. I was looking back on my past experiences with girls and stuff and I noticed a pattern in all situations. I have been in just three sexual situations in my life. When I was like 15 I was making out with this girl and I realized that the whole time we were kissing I was precumming in my pants, at one point she was on top grinding on me and I fully busted in my pants. The second situation when I was losing my virginity I lasted like 2 minutes in bed. We made out for like a hour and a half before and again, I was precumming the whole time and just like the first time I shot like a half nut when she was grinding on me. I thought that since I already nutted I would last longer but I still came fast anyway. And then the third situation is when I was dating this one girl for a month or two. EVERYTIME we would kiss I would precum in my pants, even though I knew it wasn’t gonna lead to sex. This got me thinking maybe it’s not just PE but that I have like a higher sex drive or higher arousal or some shit. I am inexperienced with girls and I think it might also be some kind of performance anxiety which is making me cum so fast. But at the same time I’m 17 years old and I litterally know nothing about PE, maybe this is just normal maybe it’s just a part of PE, but I’ve never heard anyone else talk about struggles with this stuff. What do you guys think?

How do I overcome PE

(I got no shame so imma just be blunt with yall) I’m 16 years old and it turns out now that I have been struggling from premature ejaculation unknowingly for about like a year now. I think the reason for this is because of years of constant masterbation. I’m not gonna lie or dance around it but when I was younger I would masterbate an unholy amount. Since I first started going through puberty during Covid. I had nothing better to do, so I would just sit around all day and beat my shit. This went on for like 4 years😭. There were some days I was beating my shit like 5 times, I would beat my shit 2-3 times a day on average. I used to be able to last like 25 minutes, but now I’m lasting like 3-4 minutes(sometimes shorter). I would say around the age of 15 is when I noticed I’d be nutting fast while beating. I never even payed any mind tho, and I didn’t even know what premature ejaculation was. I didn’t even think of it as a problem until October 2025 when I lost my virginity. I lasted like 2 minutes and she snickered in my face. I thought at first it was just because it was my first time and didn’t even care but then after I started paying more attention while masterbating. I realized now that I’m only lasting like 2 minutes every time, even if I pace myself. Well I just said fuck it and was like I guess this is my life now, because I didn’t know there was a way to fix it. So I just kept beating it and going slowish but nothing worked for a while. For the past like 2 weeks or so I’ve been doing this method where I just stroke my shit once every 5-10 seconds. And doing this I can last like 30+ minutes. But the second I speed it up to like 2-3 seconds I nit quick. I’ve noticed like slight improvement, like now I’m lasting 4 minutes at regular pace but that ain’t enough. And let’s be fr if I’m in a real pussy we can divide that by 3. So I wanna know if this new strat really gonna help me or am I just fucked for life?
Also kegals don’t work and that stop start method don’t rly do nthn.

I’m definitely balding, just how much longer do you guys think I have?

I am 17 years old and I started noticing my hairline was being slightly pushed back about 7 months ago. This week my brother looked at the top of my head and told me “dude not to be mean or anything but I actually think you might be balding”. I knew I was balding a little bit but what I didn’t realize was the thinning on the top of my head. I asked chatgbt and grok if I was balding or not and they said I am showing signs of male pattern baldness. Throughout the week I’ve been able to see my scalp more and more and now my hair is clearly thinning. Everytime my hair is wet I feel like I want to cry, my scalp is so visible, I feel like I couldn’t see it this much a week ago. My shits going FAST. I’m only 17, why is god so cruel? Please just someone tell me how long you thing I have left.
