Premature ejaculation happens when a man has an orgasm sooner than he or
his partner would like. Premature ejaculation can happen before or shortly
after penetration.
There is no set time for how long a man should “last” during sex. But when a man has an orgasm before he wants to, he loses his erection and can’t continue with intercourse. Premature ejaculation can be frustrating and embarrassing. You may feel you don’t have enough time to enjoy sex. You may have difficulty satisfying your partner. For some men, embarrassment about premature ejaculation can cause problems with intimacy and damage their relationships. Premature ejaculation is a common problem among men. About 30% to 40% of men have this problem at some time in their lives.

What causes premature ejaculation?
A number of emotional and physical factors can lead to premature
ejaculation. It may happen when a man becomes too excited or stimulated, or if
his penis is very sensitive. It may also happen if a man is nervous or
uncomfortable with a new partner. Other common causes include the following:
v Anxiety about
performance
v Guilty feelings
v Depression
v Stress
v Relationship
problems
Men who have a low amount of a special chemical called serotonin in
their brain may have problems with premature ejaculation.
Some medical treatments may help with premature ejaculation, but there
is no permanent cure for it. However, males may learn to control their
ejaculation and find more sexual satisfaction using a number of remedies,
including supplements and exercise. Keep reading to learn more.
Exercises to Control Premature Ejaculation
Various pelvic floor exercises may help train the muscles involved in
ejaculation. By becoming aware of and strengthening these muscles, it may be
possible to increase orgasm control.
One study found that a 12 week program of pelvic floor exercises helped
males with premature ejaculation control their ejaculatory reflexes and
increase their time to climax.
The pelvic floor muscles are the same muscles involved in cutting off
the flow of urine. To find them, a male should urinate and then cut off the
urine flow midstream.
To perform pelvic floor exercises, lie or sit in a comfortable position
without putting pressure on the perineum, which is the area between the anus
and the genitals.
Tighten the muscles involved in cutting off the flow of urine, holding
them as tight as possible for 5 seconds. The muscles should feel as though they
are lifting up. There may also be a pressure sensation inside the body, near
the muscles.
Release the muscles and rest for 5 seconds. Repeat this process 10 times
for one session. Do two or three sessions each day.
Condoms
Wearing a condom during sex may work in a similar way to using topical
creams, by temporarily dulling the sensation in the penis. In some cases, this
may increase the time it takes to orgasm.
Some companies make thicker condoms or condoms with a numbing agent on
the inside to help decrease sensitivity further and help increase a male's time
to orgasm.
Techniques
There are some techniques and methods that a male can try during sex
that may help with premature ejaculation. These include:
The squeeze technique
The squeeze technique helps physically control an orgasm. It may also
help a male identify the sensation of orgasm and learn how to control it.
During this method, a male or their partner should stimulate the penis
until they are close to ejaculation. They must then firmly squeeze the shaft of
the penis, so that the erection partially goes away and the impending orgasm
subsides.
Going through these steps may help a male identify the sensations that
lead to orgasm. Understanding these sensations can lead to better control over
ejaculation.
The stop-start method
The stop-start method is another physical technique for sexual practice.
During this method, the male or their partner should stimulate the penis
until climax is imminent. They should then stop all stimulation and allow the
feeling of the upcoming orgasm to go away completely.
After the pleasure subsides, the male or their partner should stimulate
the penis again and stop again just before the orgasm. Continue the cycle a
third time, and allow the ejaculation on the fourth.
This practice may help a male identify the sensations that occur just
before orgasm. Exploring them in this way can make it easier to identify or
control ejaculation.
Topical drugs
MEDICATIONS
Some topical therapies may be applied to the penis before sex, with or
without a condom. These local anesthetic creams reduce stimulation.
Examples include lidocaine or prilocaine, which can improve the amount
of time before ejaculation.
However, longer use of anesthetics can result in numbness and loss of
erection. The reduced sensation created by the creams may not be acceptable to
the man, and the numbness can affect the woman, too.
