How to Prevent Premature Ejaculation: Tips for Lasting Longer
Premature ejaculation (PE) is when a man ejaculates sooner than he or his partner would like during sex. It often happens within a minute or two of penetration and in some cases, even before. This can leave both partners feeling frustrated or unsatisfied.
It’s important to know that PE is more common than you think and it is not a disease. It’s a common sexual concern and a source of frustration especially for younger men or men who are anxious, stressed, or inexperienced.
This blog post gives simple, everyday tips that can help you last longer in bed and feel more confident.
Here are 7 tips we carefully curated to help you overcome premature ejaculation:
1. Practice Deep Breathing: When you’re anxious or too excited, your body reacts fast and that includes finishing too soon. One quick and effective way to calm yourself is by focusing on your breath. Before and during sex, take slow, deep breaths through your nose and breath out through your mouth. This helps calm your body and delay ejaculation.
2. Try the ‘Start-Stop’ Method: This technique helps you gain control over your body. During intercourse, when you feel like you’re about to cum, pause for a few seconds(practice deep breathing here). Once the urge reduces, you can continue. You may need to do this more than once during sex until you learn to control your timing.
3. Strengthen Your Pelvic Muscles: Just like working out builds muscle, you can also strengthen the muscles responsible for ejaculation by doing kegel exercise for men. When you pee, try to stop the flow halfway. By doing this, you are strengthening your pelvic muscles. Practice tightening and holding those muscles for 3–5 seconds, then release. Do this a few times daily to help build control.
4. Use Condoms to Reduce Sensitivity: Too much sensation can make you climax faster. Don’t say you like it raw. Use condoms, especially thicker ones or those designed to delay ejaculation. They reduce sensitivity and can help you last longer during sex.
5. Focus on Foreplay: Sex isn’t just about penetration, infact sex starts outside the bedroom with foreplay like sexting. Spend more time on kissing, touching, and other forms of intimacy for at least 10 to 15 minutes. This helps to take the pressure off penetration and allows both of you to enjoy the moment. This not only buys you more time but also makes your partner feel more satisfied.
6. Avoid Watching Too Much Porn: Porn creates unrealistic expectations and trains your body to respond quickly. Cut back or take breaks from porn. It helps you reset and relearn healthy sexual habits with your partner.
7. Talk to Your Partner: A lot of guys feel ashamed to talk about this issue, but open communication can reduce pressure. Let your partner know you’re working on lasting longer. A supportive partner can help you feel less anxious, which naturally improves your control over quick ejaculation.
