Understanding Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation can lead to distress and dissatisfaction. Let’s explore various strategies to help you gain control and improve your sexual experience.

Physical Exercises for Better Control

Kegel Exercises

Strengthen your pelvic floor muscles to improve ejaculatory control.

How to perform Kegels:

1. Identify the right muscles (stop urination midstream)
2. Contract and hold for 5 seconds
3. Release and rest for 5 seconds
4. Repeat 10-15 times, three times daily

Pro tip: Consistency is key for significant improvements.

Breathing Exercises

Manage anxiety and promote relaxation during intimacy.

Deep breathing technique:

1. Inhale through your nose (count of 4)
2. Hold your breath (count of 4)
3. Exhale slowly through your mouth (count of 4)
4. Repeat 5-10 times before and during activity

Topical Treatments: Desensitizing for Delay

Popular options include:

• Stud 100 Spray (lidocaine)
• Promescent Delay Spray (lidocaine with special absorption)
• Edge Delay Gel (natural ingredients)
• Promescent benzocaine wipes
• Durex Prolong and Trojan Extended Pleasure condoms

How to use:

1. Apply 10-15 minutes before activity
2. Allow full absorption
3. Wipe off excess to avoid transfer

The Squeeze Technique: Physical Intervention

Steps:

1. Engage in activity until near ejaculation
2. Pause and gently squeeze the penis head
3. Hold for 10-20 seconds, then release
4. Resume activity and repeat as needed

Beneficial Sexual Positions

Woman on Top	Partner controls pace
Side-by-Side	Reduced stimulation intensity
Spooning	Slower, more controlled pace
Doggy Style	Least control (avoid if struggling with PE)

Pre-Ejaculation Technique

1. Masturbate a few hours before partnered activity
2. Time it right to reduce sensitivity while maintaining arousal

Note: Consult a healthcare provider before starting any medication.
