One of the sexual problems for men and couples is ‘Premature Ejaculation (PE)’, commonly referred to as ‘finishing too quickly’ or ‘a sparrow that can’t finish drinking’. It is believed that anyone with this problem would feel stressed both personally and with their partner. Consulting others might be embarrassing or may not provide helpful answers. However, leaving it untreated could affect the relationship. Today, we bring you techniques to overcome premature ejaculation from sexual health experts.
What is considered… ‘Premature Ejaculation’?
The average time for Thai men to reach climax is about 5-7 minutes, starting from penetration. If you finish within 1-2 minutes, it is considered premature ejaculation. Also, whenever you cannot control ejaculation long enough for your partner to finish, it is also considered ‘finishing too quickly’.
7 Ways to Help Delay Ejaculation
1. Treat Premature Ejaculation with the “Masters and Johnson Method”
This method involves training to control and prevent premature ejaculation through masturbation. You stop just before climax and wait until your body relaxes, then start again. Repeat about 3-4 times each session, trying to get as close to climax as possible to learn and observe your limits. You may also try changing locations or atmosphere to practice control and build confidence so that when it’s time for real action, you won’t be too excited and ejaculate prematurely.
2. Use the “Squeeze Method” to Help Delay Ejaculation
This technique can be used alongside the first method. When you are close to climax or ejaculation, use your thumb and index finger to squeeze the base or head of the penis for about 3-4 seconds to reduce blood congestion and decrease excitement. Once the sensation subsides, you can resume.
3. Use Condoms as a Tool to Help Delay Ejaculation
Using condoms not only helps delay ejaculation but also protects against various sexually transmitted infections. For those with premature ejaculation, choosing condoms based on thickness is important as thicker condoms reduce sensation. You can also choose condoms with desensitizing agents to help delay ejaculation.
4. If You Ejaculate Quickly, Try “Women on Top” Position
The sexual position where the woman is on top allows the man to relax and better control premature ejaculation, often delaying climax because less effort is required. However, if the woman is inexperienced, there is a risk of injury to the penis if movements are too fast or out of rhythm. Another scenario is that ejaculation happens even faster in this position! If this happens and it’s not due to the woman’s skill, it’s likely because the man is overly sensitive.
5. To Treat Premature Ejaculation, Learn to Do Proper “Foreplay”
No matter how strong your desire is, instead of starting penetration immediately, begin with foreplay to reduce shyness and anxiety. However, be careful not to prolong foreplay too much as it can also lead to premature ejaculation. When you feel close to climax, slow down and reduce stimulation. Once the sensation decreases, you can continue.
6. Practice “Butt Clenching” to Help Treat Premature Ejaculation
Butt clenching exercises the sphincter muscles around the pelvic floor or anus, which helps with premature ejaculation. It’s easy to do, similar to holding in stool. Slowly count 1-10 in your mind while clenching, then relax and count as 1 repetition. Do this 10-15 times daily and practice regularly.
7. “Cock Ring” – A Device to Help Delay Ejaculation
You may try using an accessory like a cock ring, which is a ring that tightens around the base of the penis to control blood flow, helping maintain an erection longer and extending the time to climax with greater volume.
Among these 7 recommended methods, you can try them yourself first. However, if there is no improvement, you should see a sexual health specialist as medication might be necessary. Many men hesitate to see a doctor, missing the opportunity for quick treatment. The sooner you treat it, the easier and faster the recovery, improving the quality of life for both yourself and your partner before it’s too late.
