Hello forum,

I want to ask you if there can be any relation between sexual addiction and premature ejaculation, and what can one do about this.

I've been masturbating since I was like 14 or 15, now I am 21 and I continue to masturbate once a day, or more
I also have a girlfriend (for 7 months), we only have sex some days in a month, but I am very happy with she and the sex, we only have sex some days on the month because we can't find more days to be together and alone, it is not because I don't want to or she doesn't want to.

I thought I could masturbate less when having a girlfriend, but I couldn't, I needed to masturbate even more, specially the days after we have sex.

The thing is that I ejaculate prematurely usually when having sex, and I think this is somehow related with my masturbation. Can this be possible? what can I do to masturbate less? When I masturbate it is worst, I ejaculate in less time than when having sex, but I think that I am not with my partner ""I don't care"", but I want to care now, I think that masturbating so

Perhaps this is not an addiction problem... but I think this is the best forum, I also thought about anxiety.

Thanks for reading and sorry if my english was bad
