Last Longer in Bed: Proven Tips to Overcome Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is often caused by anxiety, performance pressure, or biological factors. Proven methods include the ‘start-stop’ technique, pelvic floor exercises, using condoms to reduce sensitivity, and seeking medical advice for topical creams or oral medication. Psychological therapy also plays a key role in long-term improvement.

Understanding Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation can be influenced by a variety of factors, including:

  1. Anxiety and Performance Pressure: Worrying about sexual performance can create a cycle of stress that exacerbates the issue.
  2. Biological Factors: Hormonal imbalances, neurological conditions, or sensitivity of the penis can contribute to premature ejaculation.

Proven Methods to Overcome Premature Ejaculation

  1. The Start-Stop Technique
    • This method involves stimulating the penis until you feel close to ejaculation and then stopping until the urge subsides. Repeating this process can help you gain greater control over your ejaculation.
  2. Pelvic Floor Exercises
    • Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through exercises like Kegels can improve control and endurance during sexual activity. To perform Kegels, tighten the muscles used to stop urination, hold for a few seconds, and then release.
  3. Using Condoms
    • Condoms can help reduce sensitivity, which may aid in delaying ejaculation. There are also specially designed condoms available that contain desensitizing agents.
  4. Topical Creams and Oral Medications
    • At Pill for Man, we offer effective solutions, including topical creams that can reduce sensitivity and oral medications that help manage premature ejaculation. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help determine the best option for you.
  5. Psychological Therapy
    • Engaging in therapy can address underlying anxiety or performance pressure. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be particularly effective in helping you develop coping strategies and improve your sexual confidence.

Additional Tips for Lasting Longer

  • Practice Relaxation Techniques: Techniques such as deep breathing or mindfulness can help reduce anxiety, allowing you to focus on the moment rather than worrying about performance.
  • Communicate with Your Partner: Open discussions about your needs and concerns can foster understanding and reduce pressure.
  • Limit Alcohol and Avoid Drugs: While some may use substances to cope with anxiety, they can actually contribute to sexual dysfunction.
