Category: Premature Ejaculation

Despite modern medicine offering a wealth of new and improved ways to overcome the most basic of ailments, many men find it difficult to use this abundance of knowledge to treat the issues they have in the bedroom. While issues such as premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction are increasingly common in men, those afflicted will often opt to skip the doctor and seek at-home remedies. This is due to the taboo nature of these ailments, causing men to skip professional help due to being embarrassed on speaking to a doctor about their issue. But is there any true at-home remedy for premature ejaculation?

For men that suffer from premature ejaculation, the thought of speaking to a medical professional about their issues can be downright terrifying. After all, these men reason, sharing such intimate details on your sex life will make you less of a man. And so these men try at-home techniques to attempt to overcome their issues.

For premature ejaculation, there are ways to approach sex that can help to stave off early orgasm. The most common are the “stop-and-go” technique and the “squeeze” technique.

The stop-and-go is just that: Stopping and going. Men must have sex regularly, and when it feels as though the orgasm is approaching, the man must completely disengage. This allows the man to come back from the brink, catch his breath, and get back to work. Repeat until orgasm.

For the squeeze technique, this method takes a bit more work. The man must engage in sexual activity normally until orgasm is imminent. The man must then disengage and squeeze the base of the penis, dulling the sensation and staving off orgasm. While it can help men to last longer, the timing can be tricky to master, making it difficult to use regularly.

But in the end, all of these techniques won’t be able to stop premature ejaculation permanently. This is why, even if it’s embarrassing, it’s important to speak to a health professional about premature ejaculation. With someone knowledgeable in the field of sexual health, together you can work out the root cause of the issue and figure out a way to overcome the problem permanently. Don’t let pride or social taboo stop you from finding a way to get your sex life back.

Thanks to movies, porn, and general word of mouth, men have a pretty skewed perception of sex. If you were to ask a normal man what a normal lovemaking session should be like, he might tell you that it should last between 30 minutes to an hour, consist of multiple positions, and most of it should be accomplished while standing. How a man approaches sex is a totally different, and deeply personal, thing; same goes for how long a man can last between the sheets. While outside factors paint sex as a wild frolic that lasts for hours, many men find sex to last closer to the minutes or seconds categories. As it seems as though there is no uniform “sex time,” many men find themselves wondering: Just how long is it normal to last in bed?

Don’t let porn or blockbuster movies fool you; in real life, sex is typically a much shorter affair. But because outside factors convince men that sex is meant to last for long periods of time, this leads to many men wondering if they suffer from premature ejaculation. After all, men reason, if the man in this movie can last for an hour, but I reach my breaking point in less than five minutes, surely there must be something wrong with me?

The truth is quite the opposite; men who last for hours are definitely the exception rather than the rule. According to research, most men will reach orgasm within 3 to 5 minutes of penetration. But that’s not to say a man isn’t “normal” if he doesn’t fall within this timeline; sex is different for everyone, so time to orgasm is going to vary from man to man.

However, men that struggle to last between the sheets might very well be dealing with premature ejaculation. According to research, the most commonly used definition of premature ejaculation is reaching orgasm within one to two minutes of penetration.

If you regularly struggle to last longer than two minutes in the bedroom, there is a possibility you are dealing with premature ejaculation. Talk to your doctor, explore ways to get around this issue, and you should be able to get your sex life back on track. But don’t be surprised if those one to two minutes only jump to three to five minutes; after all, that’s normal!

Despite what you might have heard, there is nothing more natural than masturbation. While this age-old pastime has been referred to alternatively as both “sinful” and “a surefire way to get hairy palms,” the simple truth is that it a totally normal way to blow off some steam. But like all things in life, masturbation is best enjoyed in moderation. As a once in a while activity, it presents no problem. But as a daily occurrence, it can lead to issues. For men that masturbate too much, the short feel-good sensation is a trade-off for potential long-term issues in bed.

Think of your brain as a dog. Like a dog, it can be taught to do things through repeated usage. Just as a dog learns to fetch a ball after you throw it a few times, your brain can pick up traits when taught to do so; i.e., knowing that you need to wake up at 7 for work because you wake up at 7 every morning. This also applies to the sexual side of the brain.

For men that masturbate frequently, masturbation becomes a race for orgasm. For these men, the act of masturbating is not an activity that should be enjoyed; rather, masturbation is a means to an end, a way to reach the feel-good orgasm. But consistently rushing through masturbation to reach orgasm, you teach the brain that sexual activity is a sprint for the orgasm. The brain subconsciously learns that sex, like masturbation, is not meant to last long, and is simply a means of reaching pleasure.

This line of thinking then transfers over to sex, causing men to reach orgasm quickly while with their partner. Thus, they have created a premature ejaculation problem for themselves, even if they weren’t aware of it.

So, if you masturbate frequently and struggle to last during sex, ease off the masturbation. Self-pleasure every once in a while is healthy, but if abused, it can lead to problems in your sex life. With you masturbation habits kept in check, you should find it much easier to last in the bedroom.

When it comes to premature ejaculation, there are plenty of miracle “cure-all” products floating around on the market that claim to do what your body can’t. Pills, creams, smoothies; whatever form it takes, the product says that using it will help you to last longer in bed. While an overwhelming majority of these products are nothing but placebos, creams can actually give you a fighting chance. If you struggle to last long in bed, a topical numbing cream may be the help you’ve been looking for.

While premature ejaculation can be caused by mental hang-ups (depression, anxiety, etc.), most cases of PE are physical in nature. This means that when a man engages in intercourse, the pleasurable feelings prove too much to the brain, leading to the man finishing quickly. But this issue can be sidestepped if you simply the overly sensitive area. Yes, by applying a numbing agent to your penis, you can last longer in bed.

There exists a variety of creams and sprays that all serve to numb the penis for delayed ejaculation. Both work equally well, so which to use simply boils down to personal preference. Both work by being applied to the already erect penis, after which its effects should take hold in about 5 to 10 minutes. If you are using a cream, simply wipe the cream away once you feel the numbing taking effect. Once the numbing agent has gotten to work, the man will be free to engage in intercourse without fear of reaching his breaking point too quickly.

If premature ejaculation is a reoccurring problem, it would be wise to get to the root of your erectile woes. But while you work to figure out the cause of your bedroom problems, numbing creams and sprays will help you to keep your sex life healthy and happy.

Premature ejaculation. The very term is enough to send some men running for the hills. The idea that a man can’t last long enough in the bedroom to please his partner is a seen as a deeply embarrassing problem to many. But men rationalize that they don’t have to worry about premature ejaculation because it only affects older men. “After all,” they rationalize,” “older men get premature ejaculation after not having sex for a while, which makes them too excited when they finally get to have sex. It’s not a problem young men have.”

Wrong. Wrong on both accounts. While the urban legend that premature ejaculation only afflicts men who get too excited during intercourse, this is far from the truth. Premature ejaculation can affect men for a variety of reasons, both on physical and mental levels. Premature ejaculation does not denote that a man finds the act of sex so exciting that he can’t control himself; there could be a number of factors at play leading to his premature ejaculation problems. Nerves, depression, and guilt can all lead to premature ejaculation, so the base causes of the issue are often far from sexual.

Furthermore, premature ejaculation affects men of all ages. While it is true that premature ejaculation afflicts older men (with a recent survey finding 28 percent of men between 65-74 suffer from the issue), its an issue that is much more common among younger men. A recent survey found that between 20-30 percent of men over the age of 18 deal with some sort of premature ejaculation issue.

So, no, premature ejaculation is not an issue exclusively for the elderly. Men of all ages can be hit with the issue. If you find yourself dealing with premature ejaculation, regardless of your age, work to get to the root of the problem, and work with a health professional on a way to overcome the issue.

When you suffer from premature ejaculation, it can feel like any desperate ploy to last longer in bed is worth exploring. Whether its investing in medication, or trying out the latest technique trumpeted by a self-appointed expert on the internet, you’ll try just about anything to get just a little more time between the sheets. But one of the best ways to ensure you last longer during intercourse is also one of the easiest, and it won’t even make you grow hair on your palms.

While self-pleasure has gotten a bad rap thanks to old wives tales, the truth is that masturbation is completely normal and totally healthy. Sure, like anything in life, too much of a good thing can be detrimental for you. But as an occasional way to unwind or a method to help with premature ejaculation, it’s actually quite useful.

The science behind masturbating before sex is understandable: When you masturbate and orgasm, the penis reaches a sort of “cool down” period where it is less susceptible to sexual activity. For men that normally have to deal with a hair trigger downstairs, this allows the penis to last longer during intercourse without reaching orgasm.

So, yes, taking a little “me time” before you’re set to jump between the sheets can actually be a smart way to ensure your bedroom time lasts as long as you want it to.

We’ve all heard the gag before: A man, in the throes of passion, feels the point of no return coming on. Desperate to hang on, he turns his mind to the least sexy thoughts possible: Baseball, Richard Nixon, his grandmother. Sure, such a set-up is good for a laugh, but is such a thing truly possible? For men that struggle with reaching orgasm too quickly, can the mind be focused on other things to prolong sex?

Well, despite being used in just about every raunchy teen comedy since the invention of the wheel, thinking “un-sexy” thoughts in an attempt to stave off orgasm isn’t very effective. Even if you were to turn every mental synapses at your disposal to thinking about puppies and ice hockey, the signals your erection is sending to the brain to alert it that’s its time for orgasm will override any stray thoughts you happen to have.

So, no, focusing on other things to stave off an orgasm is not effective. However, there are other techniques men can use to prevent themselves from reaching their tipping point too quickly.

The most effective method remains the stop-and-go technique. This requires you go until you feel yourself reaching orgasm, and then withdraw. Take deep, calming breaths and refrain from any sexual activity for a minute or two. When you feel your body beginning to unwind and your impending orgasm subsiding, you’re clear to get reengage. Admittedly, it will take some practice to pinpoint the perfect time to withdraw, but with work, you can get the stop-and-go technique down to a science, ensuring you’ll have no problems lasting between the sheets.

So next time you want to prolong your bedroom time, don’t think of Jimmy Carter or kittens. Try out the stop-and-go technique, and you should be able to last much longer.

It’s a debate as old as time: Boxers or briefs? There are men that swear that boxers are the way to go; the loose fabric and the not-too-tight waistband all add up to boxers being the de facto underwear for some men. But some men argue that the snug fit and unobtrusive feeling of briefs make it the supreme underwear choice. But boxer proponents always seem to have a trump all argument when it comes to briefs; tight briefs, they say, can lead to premature ejaculation. According to urban legend, if your underwear is a touch too tight, you’ll find yourself struggling to last in the bedroom for the rest of your days. It’s a rumor we’ve all heard, but is there any truth to it?

Well, sort of. In actuality, tight underwear does not cause premature ejaculation, nor can it cause erectile dysfunction to develop. What it can cause, however, is a lowered sperm count, which can lead to a whole new set of issues. Yes, tight underwear can actually cause your sperm count to drop, and if you don’t switch up your underwear, this affect may be irreversible.

This because briefs bring your testicles up close and personal to your body. The testicles hang away from the body to allow them to regulate their own temperature; when brought up to the body, this can lead to an internal temperature change within the testes. This temperature change causes the testicles to heat up, effectively causing the semen within to “cook” and whither up. Should the testes remain close to the body and continually be exposed to heat, this will cause the sperm to continue to disappear and the testicles will not be able to replace them, effectively permanently shrinking your sperm count.

So while your favorite pair of tighty whities might not cause premature ejaculation, they can still lead to issues within the testicles. You don’t need to ditch briefs, but switch to pairs that aren’t quite so constrictive and you should be able to avoid this issue.

Have you recently found that you’re struggling to last in bed? As hard as it can be to admit to yourself, this could mean that you have developed premature ejaculation. This doesn’t mean that your sick or that you should panic; oftentimes, premature ejaculation can develop as a result of a mental hang-up, such as overexcitement or anxiety. What’s important to remember is that it happens.

What’s also important is to figure out a way around it. If left unchecked, you may find yourself craving sex less and less, and your partner may not take this newfound approach to sex well. There are plenty of exercises and creams available on the market that can help a man to last longer, but if you’re interested in an at-home remedy, experts agree that there is a simple way of prolonging your bedroom time.

Masturbate. Yes, while old wives’ tales spread the word that masturbating too much can lead to hairy palms and blindness, the truth is that masturbation could actually help to save your sex life. You see, masturbation can help you to regain control over your ejaculatory reflex. With premature ejaculation, this reflex is essentially on a hair trigger and will be ready to fire at the slightest provocation.

So masturbate around three to five times a week. By doing this, you’ll teach your body to become accustomed to sexual sensitivity and stimulation. To take it step further, try and control your orgasms when masturbating. If you can bring yourself back from the point of no return, lasting longer in bed should be a breeze.

Through masturbation you can get a hold on your self-control. As your body learns to process these feelings and deal with them, you should see your performance time in bed getting better, and you should be back to lasting as long as you want in no time.
