General query

Hi Doctor, whenever i get any sexual thought my penis starts leaking some drops of liquid which i checked on internet given as precum. But i get precum within less then a minute of thinking. Is this is called premature ejaculation or that's something different thing ? Also after getting precum i try to divert my mind to avoid ejaculation as i read somewhere it leads to weakness, fertility loss etc. Also i try to avoid this because it gives some foul smell and make stain marks on underwear and paints. So is it safe to stop sexual arousal at precum level and divert mind to stop ejaculation ?
