Seeking advice on how to help my boyfriend (22M) with his premature ejaculation. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend (22M) for nearly two years now. When we first met, we never intended to start a relationship; we were just hooking up. Back then, he didn't ejaculate nearly as quickly as he does now. Since we became officially dating, he's had difficulty engaging in any kind of sexual activity without being on the verge of ejaculation. It only takes a few gentle touches for him to reach that point. Every time we try to be intimate, he ends up finishing before we can even get started, which has really impacted our sex life. I'm seeking genuine advice on how to address this issue. I want to ensure that both of us can find pleasure in our intimacy. I'm also unsure how to bring this up with him, as I worry it might make him feel self-conscious.

Reassure him that you’re in this together.
