“Help, I Come Too Quickly”… Premature ejaculation is a common problem that many men face at some point in their lives. It can lead to frustration and affect the quality of your sex life and relationships. But the good news is that there are effective strategies and techniques to combat premature ejaculation. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the best tips to help you last longer in bed and enjoy a more fulfilling sex life.

Tip 1: Practice Kegel exercises:

Kegel exercises aren’t just for women; men can benefit from them too to improve the strength and control of their pelvic floor muscles. You don’t need anything other than your concentration and time! Strengthening these muscles can help with issues like premature ejaculation and urinary incontinence.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how men can perform Kegel exercises:

1. Identify the Right Muscles : The first step in performing Kegel exercises is to identify your pelvic floor muscles. These are the muscles you use to stop the flow of urine during urination or to prevent farting. To find these muscles, try the following:

• While you are urinating, try to stop the flow of urine. The muscles you are tensing are your pelvic floor muscles.
• Alternatively, when you are not peeing, imagine that you are trying to avoid passing gas. The muscles you are tensing are also your pelvic floor muscles.

2. Empty Your Bladder : Before you begin Kegel exercises, it's a good idea to empty your bladder to ensure you don't accidentally work the wrong muscles.

3. Find a comfortable place : Find a quiet and comfortable place to do your Kegel exercises. You can do these exercises sitting, standing or lying down.

4. Contract your pelvic floor muscles : Once you have identified your pelvic floor muscles, focus on contracting them. Do the following:

• Squeeze or tighten the muscles as if trying to stop the flow of urine or prevent farting.
• Avoid tensing other muscles, such as those in your abdomen or buttocks. Focus only on your pelvic floor muscles.

5. Hold and release: Hold the contraction for about 3-5 seconds. Make sure you breathe normally during this phase. It is essential not to hold your breath.

6. Relax the muscles : Release the tension and relax your pelvic floor muscles for about 3-5 seconds

7. Repeat the cycle : Perform the contraction-release cycle 10-15 times in a row, or as many as you comfortably can. Gradually increase the number of repetitions as your pelvic floor muscles become stronger.

8. Maintain a routine : For best results, it is important to do Kegel exercises regularly. You can do them multiple times a day, such as in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Consistency is the key to strengthening these muscles over time.

Tips for Effective Kegel Exercises:

• Start slowly and don't push yourself. Gradually increase the duration of the contractions and the number of repetitions as your muscles get stronger.
• Be patient; it may take several weeks before you notice significant improvements in pelvic floor muscle strength and control.
• Avoid excessive force when contracting the muscles; the goal is to activate them without forcing.
• It is important to focus on both the contraction and relaxation phases for effective muscle training.
• If you are unsure whether you are performing Kegel exercises correctly or have any concerns, consider consulting a healthcare professional or physical therapist who specializes in pelvic floor health.

By incorporating Kegel exercises into your daily routine and performing them correctly and consistently, you can increase the strength of your pelvic floor muscles, potentially improve problems like premature ejaculation, and generally promote the health of your pelvic area.

Tip 2: The Start-Stop Technique:

The Start-Stop Technique is a method used to delay premature ejaculation and improve ejaculatory control. The idea behind this technique is to consciously control the moment of ejaculation by temporarily stopping sexual stimulation when you feel like you are close to orgasm. Here is how to apply the Start-Stop Technique:

1. Begin sexual activity as usual, alone or with your partner. This may include intercourse, oral sex, masturbation, or other forms of sexual stimulation.

2. When you feel yourself approaching the sensation of orgasm and feel yourself getting close to coming, stop the stimulation completely. This may mean stopping your movements, removing your hands, or asking your partner to stop.

3. Take a short break to relax and reduce your excitement. Breathe deeply and slowly and focus on reducing your sexual tension.

4. Once you feel like your arousal has subsided and you have more control over your orgasm, you can resume sexual activity.

5. Repeat this cycle if necessary. This means that you stop the stimulation again when you feel that you are about to come and then continue when you have control.

The goal of the Start-Stop Technique is to increase your awareness of your own body and arousal so that you can learn to better control your orgasm. By practicing this technique regularly, you can improve your ejaculatory control over time and delay the moment of ejaculation, allowing you to enjoy sexual activity for longer.

Tip 3: The pinch technique:

Similar to the start-stop technique, the squeeze technique involves stopping sexual activity when you feel like you’re about to climax. Instead of pausing, you or your partner can squeeze the tip of your penis for about 30 seconds. This can temporarily reduce arousal and help you last longer.

Tip 4: Focus on your breathing:

Deep, controlled breathing can help reduce anxiety and tension during sex, which can contribute to premature ejaculation. Practice slow, deep breathing to stay relaxed and in control.

Tip 5: Use Topical Anesthetics:

There are over-the-counter and prescription topical anesthetics available that can help temporarily reduce penile sensitivity. These products can delay ejaculation, but it is essential to use them as directed and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

In our stores we have Delay Cream or Spray, our employees can provide you with more information and advice about this.

Topical anesthetics, also known as numbing creams, gels or sprays, are designed to temporarily reduce the sensitivity of the penis. They usually contain an active ingredient such as lidocaine or prilocaine, which can slow down nerve signals, making the penis less sensitive.

Using topical anesthetics can be a helpful strategy for men who suffer from severe premature ejaculation. Here's how to use them:

• Consult a healthcare professional : It is always advisable to consult a physician or other healthcare professional before using topical anesthetics. They can advise you on the right product and application.
  
  
• Read the Instructions : Make sure you read and follow the instructions on the product packaging carefully. Correct application is crucial for effective results and to minimize possible side effects.

• Apply early : Most topical anesthetics need to be applied a certain amount of time before sexual activity. Make sure you wait the recommended amount of time.

• Sensitivity Test : Before using the product for the first time, it is wise to apply a small amount to a small part of the penis to test for possible allergic reactions or hypersensitivity.

• Avoid contact with your partner : Make sure the anesthetic does not come into contact with your partner, as it can reduce their sensitivity and cause unwanted side effects.

• Evaluate and Adjust : As you use the product, evaluate the effects and adjust the amount if necessary. Some men may only need a small amount, while others may need more.

The use of topical anesthetics can be a useful tool in managing premature ejaculation, but it is important to be careful and responsible when using them. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to consult a healthcare professional for guidance and advice.

Tip 6: Experiment with different positions:

Some sexual positions may offer better control over ejaculation than others. Experiment with different positions to find what works best for you and your partner.

• Missionary with variation : In the missionary position, you can try variations that allow you to control the pace and depth of penetration. This control can help delay ejaculation.
• Cowgirl : This position allows your partner to sit on top, allowing you to relax and reduce stimulation, which can help delay orgasm.
• Spooning : The spooning position is more intimate and generally offers less intense stimulation. This can help you enjoy sex longer.
• Standing vs. Sitting Positions : Sometimes standing or sitting can give you better control over your movements, which can help control arousal.
• Doggystyle with control: With doggystyle you can try to control the pace and depth of penetration to delay ejaculation.

Remember that what works best can vary from person to person, and it's important to communicate with your partner and find positions that are comfortable and enjoyable for both of you. Experimenting can be a fun way to discover what enriches your sexual experiences.

Tip 7: Mental Techniques:

Mindfulness and cognitive techniques, such as the "stop and think" method, can help refocus your attention during sex. Instead of worrying about coming too quickly, focus on your partner's pleasure and the overall experience.

Tip 8: Seek Professional Help:

If premature ejaculation continues to be a problem and is affecting your quality of life, do not hesitate to consult a healthcare professional or sexologist. They can provide guidance, therapies or medication if necessary to effectively address the problem.

Premature ejaculation is a common concern, but it doesn’t have to define your sex life. By incorporating these tips and techniques into your sexual routine, you can improve your ejaculatory control and have more satisfying and fulfilling intimate experiences. Remember, it’s essential to approach the issue with patience and open communication with your partner.
