Premature ejaculation can be defined as ejaculation that happens too quickly to satisfy his partner and way before the man would wish it to happen. In order for it to be a sexual disorder, the ejaculation has to happen frequently.

Causes of premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation may be caused by a number of factors that include:

The doctor might examine you to find out if premature ejaculation is a symptom of an underlying condition which you could be suffering from. If it is not, then he might just prescribe drugs that will help delay ejaculation.

Techniques that can help you manage premature ejaculation

• The start and stop technique

You should practice the start and stop technique which involves stopping your thrust motion just before you reach the point of orgasm. You should then wait for the orgasm urge to reduce before resuming stimulation. Squeezing the head of the penis would also help in reducing this urge thus you can also try it while withdrawing.  

• Different sexual positions

Experimenting with different sexual positions is very important in the quest to overcome premature ejaculation. This is because different positions have different degrees of sensation thus there are some positions that will reduce the sensation that you will feel thus reducing the muscle tension that is necessary to hold the sperm. It can also give you increased concentration levels which will give you control over the muscles responsible for ejaculation. This will ultimately give you control over your ejaculation and surely prevent any unwanted ejaculation.

• Masturbation

Masturbation before the sexual encounter that you are planning to have is also a very effective technique. If you masturbate two hours before intercourse engagement then this might help you delay ejaculation. Another way is that you can also try and bring your partner to high arousal levels before having intercourse. You can do this by engaging her in non-intercourse sexual foreplay which can last for a longer period than what you are normally used to. This will in turn lead to reduced psychological pressure that may increase the chances of ejaculating prematurely.   

• Use of desensitizing lubricants

It is very important to try and experiment with different lubricants which can help desensitize your most sensitive parts. These products are mostly over the counter products and should be used inside a condom so as to prevent the spread of the lubricant to your partner and ultimately reducing her pleasure by desensitizing her most sensitive areas.
