In a Sexploration column for NBCNews.com, writer Brian Alexander offers a couple of suggestions on ways to prolong an erection and the pleasure of your partner. Actually, the first one comes from sex therapists Masters and Johnson and requires the participation of your partner. Just as you are about to climax, have your partner squeeze the tip of the penis with the thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Alternatively, the base of the penile shaft can be squeezed. You’ll experience the sensation of orgasm but will not ejaculate and will be able to recover your erection quickly so that you can continue.
The second technique involves a muscle known as the pubococcygeus. It’s the one you can use to slow or stop your urine flow, and it’s the same muscle that some men use to make their penis bounce up and down as a form of self-amusement. With regular workouts of this muscle, you can get to the point where you can experience multiple orgasms. Begin by draping a towel or washcloth over your penis and then use the pubococcygeus muscle to move your penis up and down with that extra weight on it. If you start with only a washcloth, switch to a wet washcloth when lifting the washcloth alone becomes too easy. Alexander recommends doing this exercise at least 100 times daily.
