You are not alone – coming to terms with Premature Ejaculation
Many men are adverse to the idea of seeking help or treatment for what is seen in modern society as a potentially embarrassing problem – Premature Ejaculation. In fact, it is a common ailment among healthy males, both young and old. More than 50% of males admit to ejaculating within 2 minutes of vaginal penetration! Studies have found that more than 40% of men suffer from some form of Premature Ejaculation, yet only a small percentage of these men will seek help for their problem.
Common Causes of Premature Ejaculation
In order to deal effectively with this debilitating problem, we need to understand more fully where the root cause lies. The top causes are usually:
1) Bad masturbation habits developed from young, often during adolescence
2) Stress, pressure to perform resulting in a feeling of being “tested”, or extreme emotional tension
3) Brain chemical imbalance, often biological
4) A severe development as a result of too late or no intervention and diagnosis of a brain chemical imbalance
Do I suffer from Premature Ejaculation?
Before you start seeking treatment for Premature Ejaculation, you should first seek a professional opinion. Beware of the many “doctors” and “physicians” online- it is always better to go to a clinic and have a full health check-up done. Most government-run clinics would be able to do this for you at a reasonable price. Once you have been diagnosed by your health-care practitioner, you may then explore the various treatments and methods available.
Self-treatment for Non-Severe Premature Ejaculation
If you do not suffer from a severe care of Premature Ejaculation, you may first want to try some of the common non-medical methods which can help to improve your condition. Some effective methods commonly used are:
1) The Stop-Start Method- this involves the withdrawal of the penis from the vagina midway during intercourse in order to stop sexual stimulation. Once you are relaxed enough, you may then continue with intercourse. This method is often highlighted in tantric sexual techniques.
2) The Squeeze Method- One of the most popular methods in dealing with Premature Ejaculation is to simply squeeze the head of the penis for about 10 seconds before ejaculation while withholding any other forms of stimulation to the penis for 30 seconds. You may then continue with stimulation. A main benefit in implementing this technique is that it can be repeated as many times as you like in a single session of love-making, thus allowing you and your partner a degree of control over when you wish to ejaculate, your partner may also stimulate other areas while waiting for the 30 second period to pass.
3) Prolonging Foreplay- By stimulating your partner to a high degree of arousal, it lessens the time needed in order for your partner to attain the same level of satisfaction upon insertion of the penis. This is a simple way to satisfy your partner without compromising on your own desires.
4) Using numbing creams- Desensitizing creams or sprays are now readily available on the market. These are easily obtained without a prescription and usually offer a temporary numbing sensation to the penis when applied. Another way to attain similar results would be to wear 2 or more condoms during sexual intercourse in order to reduce the sensation.
5) The Self-Distraction Technique – This involves trying to turn your mind to something else in the midst of intercourse in order to detract from the high arousal. This method is only effective if you have strong will power and concentration. Let’s face it, many men would be too caught up in the moment to use this method effectively!
Defeating Premature Ejaculation – Becoming the Victor
Overcoming premature ejaculation is possible with practice, patience and understanding. Try using one or more of these methods in your next love-making session and see what works for you. Over time, you are bound to discover what works best and things are bound to turn for the better. If after trying these methods you are still unable to overcome the problem, seek help from your doctor who may prescribe some medication to help you cope.
