How To Overcome Premature Ejaculation

In fact, various surveys in the US have revealed that as many as 70% of sexually active men need help to overcome premature ejaculation. So here are some suggestions that might be useful.

Prime yourself: Sounds rude? But that is exactly what you should be doing if you seriously want to overcome premature ejaculation. Try masturbation a few hours before you have sex. That way, you are not so excited that you must ejaculate too soon. Equally, take care not to masturbate too soon before you have sex, because that will pose problems of another kind: you will struggle to achieve an erection!

Use a condom: In this age of sexually transmitted diseases, that is like asking a penguin to eat fish, right? However, the trick here is that a condom need not only perform a protective function, but also a restraining one. The thing is, if you make your penis less sensitive you are actually doing a lot to overcome premature ejaculation, and the best way to make the penis less sensitive is to coat it with rubber!

Lighten up: For a lot of men, performance anxiety causes premature ejaculation. So why not curtail the actual performance and try some value adds that might please her just as much? For instance, she may be big on kissing, so go for it. Or she may not be aware of the joys of oral sex, so initiate her. The idea is to get her excited enough for her to climax in a relatively short time, which serves your purpose too.

Go easy on the booze and the drugs. Remember, a man who is not in control of his mental and physical functions has one chance in a million of overcoming premature ejaculation. So if you feel slightly woozy from all those vodkas, give sex a miss for the night. There's always the morning after.

Focus on something else: This bit of advice comes from Jack Carlton of Reno, Nevada. "If you feel yourself climaxing too early, try and think of really tough math formulas or ugly-looking objects like slugs," he suggests. We second that, Jack, but since the mind is not always under our control, we also issue a warning that accidentally thinking of the babe next door may have the opposite effect!

Use known techniques: Techniques like the squeeze method and the start-and-stop method have been known to help overcome premature ejaculation in plenty of men, so they should work for you as well.

The bottom line: don't blame yourself for premature ejaculation. It is something that can happen to anyone, but what is important is what you do to overcome it. If you are smart, you will realize that the problem is not major enough to make you give up on sex altogether.
