1. Pelvic Floor (Kegel) Exercises
- Strengthening the pelvic muscles can improve ejaculatory control.
- How to do it:
- Identify the right muscles (stop urination midstream to locate them).
- Contract these muscles for 3–5 seconds, then relax.
- Repeat 10–15 times, 3 sets daily.
2. The Start-Stop Technique
- During masturbation or sex, pause stimulation when nearing climax until the urge subsides, then resume.
- Helps train the body to delay ejaculation.
3. The Squeeze Technique
- When close to climax, gently squeeze the base of the penis for a few seconds to reduce arousal.
4. Deep Breathing & Relaxation
- Slow, deep breaths can reduce tension and delay ejaculation.
- Focus on relaxing the pelvic muscles during sex.
5. Use Thicker Condoms or Desensitizing Sprays/Gels
- Reduced sensitivity can prolong ejaculation time.
- Look for condoms labeled “prolonging” or “delay.”
6. Distraction Techniques
- Thinking about non-sexual things (e.g., math problems) can help delay climax.
7. Regular Masturbation Before Sex
- Ejaculating 1–2 hours before intercourse may help last longer.
8. Healthy Lifestyle Changes
- Exercise: Improves stamina and blood flow.
- Diet: Zinc, magnesium, and omega-3s support sexual health.
- Reduce Stress & Anxiety: Meditation or therapy can help.
9. Medical Options (if needed)
- SSRIs (Antidepressants): Some (like dapoxetine) are prescribed for premature ejaculation.
- Topical Anesthetics: Lidocaine sprays/gels (apply before sex).
10. Communication & Foreplay
- Slowing down and focusing on foreplay can reduce performance pressure.
If premature ejaculation is a persistent issue, consulting a urologist or sex therapist may help identify underlying causes.
