Thank you for your question. Yours is actually very common for most men. I know that you have not experienced a faster ejaculation before, but to be honest I am surprised.

You have a new girlfriend, have just moved to a new place and have lots of stress. Once you had one fast ejaculation you probably worried about it and that made the next one happen as well.

We can't expect to last long all the time. We are mammals and all mammals except humans have fast ejaculations because they would be killed in the wild if they stayed so vulnerable for so long.

That is why most men experience occasional fast ones. Their body is actually programmed fast, and you have somehow learned to keep it slow.

I would suggest that you don't worry about it. I would hope that your girlfriend would not pressure you or worry either, and certainly not be upset if you learn to stimulate her on her clitoris and other sensitive places so that she can have an orgasm even if you have had one earlier.

Many couples learn to slow the ejaculation down by having a fast ejaculation first, relaxing, continuing the sex play and the male giving the female an orgasm from finger, hand, tongue, vibrator or just body rubbing stimulation and this creates another arousal in him which is then much slower.

I hope this information will help, and the best thing you can do is relax and not worry about it!
