Overcoming Premature Ejaculation
Having debunked some misconceptions, let’s focus on practical methods to address premature ejaculation. Improvement is possible with the right strategies and support.
Practical Strategies for Improvement
Several effective techniques can help you gain better control over ejaculation. These methods can be practiced alone or with a partner.
- The stop-start technique: Engage in sexual stimulation until nearing ejaculation, then stop until the sensation subsides. Repeat this process several times before allowing ejaculation.
- The squeeze technique: Similar to the stop-start method, but involves gently squeezing the end of the penis at the juncture between the shaft and the glans for about 30 seconds before resuming stimulation.
- Kegel exercises: Strengthening pelvic floor muscles can improve ejaculatory control. These exercises can be done discreetly throughout the day.
Note that these techniques require practice and patience. Consistency is key to seeing improvements.
