Premature ejaculation: do’s and don’ts

If you find yourself climaxing just as the party gets started,here are some tips on how to overcome premature ejaculation..

  • Eat healthy

    Studies have shown that men and women who are mostly vegetarian have more endurance and last much longer in bed than non-vegetarians. They have more stamina due to the nutrients they are getting from a healthy diet of fruits and veggies. Particularly sex-friendly fruits include bananas, strawberries and amla.

  • Exercise

    Exercise improves blood flow in general, and that includes to the genital region! Certain yoga asanas like the cobra pose can help, as can pelvic floor exercises, or ‘Kegels‘.

  • Pay attention to your body

    One of the most common ways to keep yourself from ejaculating too soon is to monitor your excitement, and then, before you orgasm, stop all stimulation until you’ve got yourself under control again. Practising this technique helps you gain some control over your orgasm response. Pay attention to your sensations. If you’re about to cum, slow down. Slow way down, or stop altogether; give yourself a breather before starting again.

  • Fancy a squeeze

    When you’re about to climax, stop and squeeze right below the head of your penis. Apply firm pressure on the tube running underneath your penis. This will push blood out of the penis and momentarily decreases sexual tension, calming your ejaculatory response.

  • Use de-sensitisers

    Applying a topical spray to your penis can lessen sensation and help you gain control of ejaculation. Get the amount of desensitisation just right so that it won’t affect your partner and won’t cause issues with remaining stiff – this takes a little practice, but could do wonders for those who have difficulties with the other tips.

  • Distract yourself

    If you find yourself getting too excited too soon, try distracting yourself by thinking of something unrelated to sex. Temporarily diverting your attention can help you to relax and last longer. You could also pull out and switch positions. Switching around your bodies gives you some time to regain vigour and also allows you to explore new positions.

  • Skip foreplay

    Studies have shown that those who partake in a little foreplay action before sex make love far longer than those who don’t. Devoting more time to foreplay will not only extend your lovemaking sessions, but will add more excitement to the whole ordeal. Furthermore, when you help them to orgasm first, using whatever technique they most enjoy, you’ll feel a lot less pressure to last long yourself.

  • Forget to wear a condom

    Condoms tend to decrease pleasure and sensitivity during sex, but that may be a good thing if you’re trying to last longer! Many manufacturers make extra-thick condoms that serve well as desensitisers, plus you’ll be protected from STDs and unwanted pregnancy.

  • Smoke or drink alcohol

    Smoking lessens blood flow to the penis and can leave you limp, while alcohol consumption prior to sex is a common cause of erectile dysfunction.

  • Stress yourself out

    Premature ejaculation is often as much mental as it is physical. So relax, be positive, and approach sex with confidence and self-respect. Fear and self-doubt may create a self-fulfilling prophecy. The less stressed you are, the more control you will gain over how long you last.

  • Forget to practise with yourself

    Masturbation or self-stimulation is a great way to help build stamina and keep yourself from ejaculating too soon. Forget the naysayers – masturbation is natural and healthy and can help you familiarise yourself with your body, allowing you to recognise when you’re getting too excited and need to slow down before it’s too late.

  • Underestimate the power of love

    Men tend to get overexcited and self-conscious their first time with a new partner, and that anxiety can lead to bad performance. Being in a loving, monogamous relationship, however, is a great way to boost your performance in bed, as the closer you feel to your partner the more comfortable and confident you will feel during sex.

        1. Hello Dickson, thank you for…

          Hello Dickson, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the fact is penile size cannot be increased without surgery. While there are a lot of people out there trying to sell you all kinds of products – pills, pumps,  patches, creams, gels, sprays and stretchers – most of it is hocus pocus. And experts say that is because the penis is made of spongy tissue which cannot be lengthened or stretched. Even surgeries offer only a small increase in size.

          Hi Brianl, 

          If you are no longer interested in sex with your partner and prefer to masturbate instead, it is important to have an open and honest with your partner about how you can make your sex life better. It could be that you do not get as much pleasure from sex so its good to explore ways of improving your self-life.

    so can pumpkins do good for sex life?

    1. Living and eating healthily
      Living and eating healthily can definitely do good for your sex life. That doesn’t mean you should start eating nothing but pumpkin.
      For a good sex life, you need to be healthy, reasonably fit, and what’s even more important, you need to talk to your partner, and find out what she likes and dislikes, And vice versa.

    1. Safe days are very unreliable
      Safe days are very unreliable, Virginia. During a regular, 28-day cycle, the first 7 days after your menstruation and the 7 days before have a lower risk of pregnancy. However, this depends on the cycle regularity and length, and on how long your partner’s sperm can survive. So, unless you are willing to have a baby soon, you are better off choosing another birth control method.

    1. No, that’s a myth.

      No, that’s a myth.
      Essentially, there is no difference between masturbation and having sex- the idea is to have pleasure and an orgasm. So why should masturbation cause cancer while sex doesn’t?

    1. Josee,

      Josee,
      it’s quite normal to ejaculate quickly when you haven’t had sex in a while.
      Try masturbating beforehand- that should take the first urge away.

    1. Safari,

      Safari,
      fisrtly, masturbation is a normal part of a healthy sex life. What makes you think you are addicted to it?
      And what makes you think you don’t perform well in bed? Have you talked about this with your wife? Have you talked about both your needs and wishes?
      And lastly, yes, it’s normal for some sperm to remain in the urethra after ejaculation. You don’t have to worry about it; it would come out the next time you urinate anyway.

    1. DP,

      DP,
      This is completely normal for men to have what is called a refractory period, where it cannot get hard after ejaculation. Honestly, your body is just telling you that it needs some time. There is no real way to change it or make it happen less, so just try to work with your body. If you are really hoping to have more sex, then take the time to recharge and focus on your partner. This is a good time to focus on them and give them pleasure. You will become hard again in no time and continue.

    1. Hey Princed, you seem to be…

      Hey Princed, you seem to be experiencing premature ejaculation. It is caused by a number of reasons including fear, anxiety or even stress. Anxiety that one will not perform can make him ejaculate much earlier or stress from home or work. In other cases, particularly in young men it could be the result of sexual inexperience, and so as the young man gets older he also gains more experience in controlling ejaculation. Controlling your ejaculation and lasting long is something you can learn to do. Have a look at this article for some tips on how to address premature ejaculation;-

    Anytime I start thrusting.. It will be like I should cum instantly. Though I fight it always but most times it beats me to it. Wot can I do.

    1. This is a very good question…

      This is a very good question and a very common one as well. So, do not worry, you are not alone. There are some remedies that could help you last a little longer. However, if you have premature ejaculation, you should go see  doctor.
      One option is the stop-start method used to treat premature ejaculation but can also help a person last longer. This technique calls for the man to have sex or masturbate until you almost cum and then stop. When you’re about to climax, stop and squeeze right below the head of your penis. Apply firm pressure on the tube running underneath your penis. This will push blood out of the penis and momentarily decreases sexual tension, calming your ejaculatory response.This should be repeated many times.
      Another remedy is to engage in sex styles that do not stimulate the underside of the penis like spooning and reverse cowgirl. You could also masturbate before having sex.

    Please I always have this problem, any time a stand with a girl without even mention anything sex, my penis will just stand erect something this particular thing always disgrace me in public. what will be the cause of this. And how do I solve it.

  88. Hi Bethel, thank you for…

    Hi Bethel, thank you for reaching out and we are sorry you are going through a hard time but please do not feel ashamed of your body. Many men have a problem erecting their penises, leave alone keeping them erected so for one, you should be proud. The reason your penis erects randomly is associated with your strong sex drive, sensitivity to physical stimulation (as you walk or otherwise) and because you are a young strong man. One trick that most men use when their penises become erect in public situations is called the “Seat Belt Technique” whereby once hard, simply tuck your penis into the elastic strap above your boxers/underwear or belt. It completely eradicates the obvious protrusion that would cause any embarrassing situation and because the penis is strapped to your belt or boxer/ underwear elastic band, it will cut off blood supply to your genitals and your erection will fade quickly! The trick here is to ensure that when you adjust your erect penis, you do so discreetly so as to not draw attention to yourself as this would bring you more unwanted embarrassment. Hope this advice helps, stay safe and have a wonderful week ahead!

    1. Hello Oche, thank you for…

      Hello Oche, thank you for getting in touch and we are very sorry you are going through a difficult time at the moment but please do not stress yourself out too much. What you are going through is completely normal and happens to a lot of men all the time. 

      What you are experiencing is known as Premature Ejaculation, which is caused by a number of reasons including fear, anxiety, or even stress. The anxiety that one will not perform can make him ejaculate much earlier or stress from home or work. In other cases, particularly in young men it could be the result of sexual inexperience, and so as the young man gets older he also gains more experience in controlling ejaculation.

      There are a few things you can do to improve control and last longer. In the short term, you can take short breaks during intercourse, you can also apply firm pressure underneath the penis during intercourse to push blood out of the penis hence decreasing sexual tension, distract yourself to think about other non sexual things or use penis desensitizers. Penis desensitizers come in the form of sprays and creams that can be applied on the penis minutes before intercourse and they help to delay ejaculation. Sometimes a condom can help reduce the sensitivity of the penis. 

      In the long term one can ensure they eat healthily and avoid lots of processed foods, begin to exercise which improves blood flow in the body, reduce or eliminate the use of alcohol including smoking and more importantly reduce stress during intercourse. Foreplay will also play a critical role in preparing your partner and getting them closer to an orgasm.

    1. Hi, while sex is really…

      Hi, while sex is really great and is a fantastic way of expressing intimacy, or just feeling good. You should have sex when you are fully ready. Have sex that is consensual and that will assure pleasure for everyone involved.
      What you must know is that you will not be great at it the first time! You might not be too good the second time. The more you engage in it, the better you get and the better you understand your body and the bodies of the people you have sex with.
      All in all, you are not the first to do it, and you won’t be the last so don’t be scared! This article has more information on the issue.

      Hi Willy, 

      It is normal and okay for the penis to be slightly curved when it’s erect. But if you have a more significant bend/curve in your penis, which may cause you pain or difficulty having sex, see your doctor since this can sometimes be symptoms of Peyronie’s disease.
