Curing Premature Ejaculation
For some, premature ejaculation may simply be a habit. Like all habits, it can be unlearned. But many men don’t know how to unlearn this habit. Common-sense measures may help. Have sex more often-you are more likely to ejaculate prematurely after a long gap. For the same reason, masturbating before intercourse helps. You can also try using a condom to decrease sensation. Another suggestion is to have sex with the woman on top. Men are less aroused in this position than when they are on top in the missionary position. It’s helpful if you learn how to control your anal muscles. Contract your buttocks around the anus as if you were trying to prevent a bowel movement. I’ve found it helpful to try doing this ten times in a row, and increased to fifty times twice a day. Some men find either contracting or relaxing these muscles when ejaculation is near helps them to last longer.
The main methods in unlearning premature ejaculation are the so-called squeeze technique and stop-go technique. They involve stimulating the penis almost to the point of ejaculation and then stopping. The idea is to train the man to remain in a state of high arousal without actually ejaculating. They require patience. It can take a lot of time and practicing for these techniques to be successful. These techniques are not as easy as they sound, but do not despair. The usual problems are that the man goes too far and ejaculates or he loses his erection and cannot regain it. If these occur, don’t worry-just try again another day. It may take several weeks to master the techniques. The next step is to do exactly the same, but using a lubricant jelly to increase sensation and more closely resemble the situation of being in a vagina.
