Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is consistently ejaculating before you want to. While many couples find mutual orgasm desirable, overemphasizing the importance of male ejaculation as the only satisfying pinnacle of intercourse can lead to a great deal of anxiety for the male and cause him to have a premature ejaculation. Some men attempt a variety of strategies to delay their orgasms (thinking of about the game that was on last night or another romantic encounter) that cause them to be emotionally detached themselves during intercourse. A great deal of men tend to find once they place less importance on delaying their orgasm, they can actually stay erect longer.

What Can I Do About Premature Ejaculation?

• Take a more global, less phalli-centric approach to pleasure.
• Try the “squeeze technique.”
  Simply squeeze the head of the penis by hand as ejaculation approaches, wait until the response passes, and then continue. Use an extra strong (and thereby less thin, and sensitive) condom.
• Increase the frequency of ejaculations.
• Talk to a therapist.
