I read your query and can understand the distress you are having due to premature ejaculation. Your condition is amenable to treatment. Most of your problem seem to be as a result of anxiety.
It is recommended that you seek a psychiatric consultation for the same. It can be treated effectively with the help of medications, behavioral methods or a combination of both. The best results are usually when both are used together. Medications include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like paroxetine taken daily or dapoxetine taken on as needed basis. Paroxetine will also help in reduction of anxiety.
Behavioral methods will include learning relaxation exercises, sex education and methods like squeeze, start -stop or distraction. Participation of your wife in the behavior therapy sessions will enhance the chances of success. You will need to attend 1-2 sessions per week for around 6-10 sessions.
Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
