Premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates too quickly during sex. It’s commonly perceived as an undesirable sexual health condition that can be a source of shame and guilt for an individual.
Men who have this problem feel like they can’t enjoy sex to the fullest due to the inability to control ejaculation. This condition is one of the major causes of frustration in the bedroom, damaging the sexual intimacy and relationship between partners.
While experiencing premature ejaculation can be difficult, there are ways that men can control and prolong an orgasm effectively. Get your premature ejaculation diagnosed.
Here are some ways that you can delay ejaculation and achieve better sex.
1. Pelvic Floor Exercises
Pelvic floor (or “Kegel”) exercises are done to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. They help improve impaired and weak pelvic floor muscles that may cause premature ejaculation. They’re generally painless and can be performed anywhere.
You can feel your pelvic muscles by contracting the muscle that controls your urine flow. This exercise is also known to help men improve various forms of urinary and sexual function problems. In fact, a published study that has been medically reviewed concluded that performing Kegel exercises is an effective way to treat men with sexual health and ejaculatory problems.
2. Try the Squeeze Method
The squeeze method is used to stop the urge to climax when the penis is sexually stimulated.
You or your partner gently press down the back of the penis head until the desire goes away.
This is performed right before the brink of ejaculation, effectively decreasing sensitivity and reducing the desire to climax. Once you regain control, you can resume sexual activity.
You may repeat the cycle as many times as long as you and your partner remain satisfied. Three to four times is the usual amount.
Once you get used to using this method, you can continue doing this for the following sessions. This way, you can improve your sexual endurance and last longer in bed.
3. Use the Start-Stop Technique
The start-stop technique is when you stop any form of sexual stimulation to the penis for 30 seconds. After that period, or until you feel like you’re not as stimulated anymore, you can regain control and resume sexual activity.
You may repeat this method as many times as you deem necessary until you and your partner are satisfied.
4. Use a Condom
Condoms may help lessen penile sensitivity, which can contribute to delaying premature ejaculation. Certain types of condoms may also contain numbing agents to stop premature ejaculation.
This includes the following brands:
Durex Performax Intense
Lifestyles Everlast Intense
Trojan Extended
5. Live a Healthy Lifestyle
To improve your sex life and combat male sexual dysfunction, it’s essential to cover all bases and improve your lifestyle as well.
This means:
Eating the right food
Losing weight
Exercising regularly
Avoiding vices like smoking
Getting regular checkups
Undergoing health programs
By being proactive with your health, you’ll help slow down the development of diseases like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. In fact, men who quit smoking have shown positive improvements in their sexual function. You’ll also be more energized and active— boosting your confidence and reducing your performance anxiety in bed.
This can make the time in the bedroom a much more satisfying place to be with you and your sexual partner.
6. Self-Distraction
If your arousal levels are getting too high and a climax is beginning, take a deep breath and think about something else—something very boring if possible. You've probably heard the pop culture advice, "Think about baseball!"
When you are less aroused but maintaining an erection, you can then continue.
7. More Foreplay
Stimulate your partner to a state of high arousal before you have your genitals touched. That way, your ejaculation and their orgasm can be achieved at about the same time.
