What can you do about premature ejaculation?

1) Masturbation using the Stop/Start Method can be a helpful tool to practice going longer. Initially, a man can practice by masturbating and noticing when he hits the point of no return. As he becomes more aware of this point, he can stop masturbating right before this point and relax for a while before continuing. If a man can practice this several times, he will get better at going longer. This method works best when a partner is eventually brought in to practice the method on the man. That way, he can also get used to her touch not setting him off.

2) A cock ring can be used to help a man maintain an erection for a longer period of time. A cock ring helps by keeping the blood in the penis for a longer period of time. However, it is important not to use a cock ring for more than 30 minutes at a time-constricting the blood flow of any body part long term can cause harm.

3) For some men, using a condom can help because is causes some desensitization.

4) When a man is willing to put more effort into foreplay such as massage, kisses, oral sex, and toys, his partner can still feel satisfied with the sexual experience. The important piece is to make sure each partner is satisfied with the sexual encounter. The variety of means for accomplishing this are endless.
