Premature ejaculation can take a fun, wild romp in between the sheets and turn it into an embarrassing, disappointing confidence destroyer. Nothing is more emasculating than not being able to last in the bedroom, and it can turn a once thriving sex life into a sexless wasteland. It can also lead to feelings of resentment in your partner, with doubts about relationship longevity or sexual compatibility bubbling up.
That’s why it’s important to find a way to keep your premature ejaculation under control. Just because you finish quicker than you used to doesn’t mean your sex life should be dead. In fact, if approached in the correct way, premature ejaculation can lead to longer, more satisfying sex for both you and your partner.
Here are some solutions to implement in your sex life to help you to last longer:
Get it out of your system: If you know sex is coming, take care of yourself to ensure that you won’t be in a rush to reach orgasm while you knock boots. Masturbating a couple hours before sex will numb your penis, making it harder to finish quickly.
Stop and go: If you feel yourself approaching orgasm during sex, call for a time out. Take a brief breather and wait for the feeling to subside. When you feel as though you can resume, get back to business. You can repeat this technique several times during sex, ensuring that you can keep going for quite awhile.
Give it a squeeze: Like the stop and go technique, the squeezing method requires you to go until you feel an impending orgasm. When this feeling bubbles up, disengage and squeeze the head or base of the penis. This will disrupt the flow of blood to the penis and will quell the sexual excitement that leads to ejaculation. Once the orgasm feeling has subsided, you’ll be good to go again.
