Do you ejaculate sooner than you and your partner wish?

Well don't worry, it happens to most men at some time during their life and is the most common male sexual dysfunction that affects almost every man at some stage of their life and as long as it is infrequent, then there is probably no cause for concern.

Typically premature ejaculation occurs in sexually inexperienced men where the problem is assumed to be psychological, (first time nerves) and the problem resolves itself as sexual confidence develops. However, if you regularly ejaculate either before intercourse begins or soon afterward, you may need to find help to overcome it.

When premature ejaculation is an occasional problem, it can be lived with, but if it happens regularly, it can be distressing for one or both partners.

PE In Younger Men
If you have Premature Ejaculation during your first sexual experiences during your teenage years, PE will go away as you gain sexual experience providing that you are generally fit and healthy and can be helped with non prescription herbals.

Historic PE
If you've experienced the problem for as long as you've been sexually active, you have what is termed "primary premature ejaculation" and if non prescription herbals don't work, you need to get help.

Sudden Onset PE
If you've had no history of PE and it suddenly begins, you have what is know as "secondary premature ejaculation" and you should have a medical examination to ensure there is no underlying medical cause such as prostate problems or STD's. Most often this is caused by malnutrition, aging and stress and can often be helped with non prescription herbals.

  • The relationship - emotional pressure between two people can cause erectile dysfunction and PE. Emotional or mental strain in any area of your life can play a role in PE, often limiting your ability to relax and focus during sexual encounters.

  • When you feel you are nearing ejaculation, just stop and wail till the intensity subsides.
     
• The squeeze technique.
  • Step 1. Begin sexual activity as usual, including stimulation of the penis, until you feel almost ready to ejaculate then STOP before you cum.
  • Step 2. Have your partner squeeze the end of your penis, at the point where the head (glans) joins the shaft, and maintain the squeeze for several seconds, until the urge to ejaculate passes.
  • Step 3. After the squeeze is released, wait for about half a minute, then go back to foreplay. You may notice that squeezing the penis causes it to become less erect, but when sexual stimulation is resumed, it soon regains full erection.
  • Step 4. If you again feel you're about to ejaculate, stop and have your partner repeat the squeeze process.
    By repeating this as many times as necessary, you can reach the point of entering your partner without ejaculating. In theory, after a few practice sessions you will learn how to delay ejaculation.
