yes anxiety affects one 's sexual performance. in the absence of injury to genital organs or other sex organs and also in the absence of any other medical cause like diabetes .anxiety ,depression etc are the cause of sexual problems. i would recommend to increase the dose of welbutrin. it will help to improve the problem of premature ejaculation.
