Premature ejaculation
- Other techniques -
- Desensitizing Creams
Desensitizing creams are products which purport to lessen the sensations felt by men during intercourse so that they can last longer. The limitation that many men feel these creams have is that they make intercourse less pleasurable by decreasing stimulation.
- Masturbation
Masturbation is a technique used by many young men to increase their level of control. It is thought that masturbation before sexual activity will lessen the amount of desire a man feels thereby increasing control.
This technique is not very effective, however, as level of arousal is only part of what contributes to the condition.
- Condoms
Condoms are an effective means of reducing the amount of stimulation experienced during sex. Some men find that a condom helps them prevent premature ejaculation by lowering their arousal. If one condom does not decrease the stimulation enough, then put on one more.
Condoms provide excellent protection against STDs and pregnancy, so they’re certainly worth a try.
- Drug therapy
Medication can sometimes be helpful. A recent study showed that Prozac was very helpful in premature ejaculation in a high percentage of cases, as was a similar anti-depressant called Anafranil.
- Different Sexual Positions
Sexual positions can affect a man's ability to control his ejaculation. The typical "missionary" position (on top of your partner) is not the best position while attempting to control ejaculation. Try laying on your back, allowing the partner to control copulation. In this position you are more relaxed, and can guide your partner easily.
- Change of thrusting
You can do this by slowing the tempo of thrusting to take the edge of your ardor, and, by changing the angle or depth of penile penetration.
- Mental Work
Men who successfully last a long time report that they silently shift their fantasies or modify their "self-talk" to slow things down a bit or to decrease anxiety.
Also, it is helpful for men to learn to "focus" more on the non-genital aspects of the sexual experience to distribute sexual energy to other parts of the body.
