Simply put, a premature ejaculation is one that occurs before it is desired. Sometimes it can occur with minimal sexual stimulation, early in foreplay. More often, it develops shortly after penetration before the female partner has had a chance to experience orgasm. Either way, it causes shame and embarrassment for the man and frustration and discontent for both partners.

Many men experience premature ejaculation on occasion, but for some it’s a common problem. In large surveys, premature ejaculation is the most frequent form of male sexual dysfunction. Most men with premature ejaculation are perfectly healthy; others have psychological, medical or urinary problems. With or without an associated problem, premature ejaculation can be treated - by medication, exercises or a combination of the two.

Premature Ejaculation Treatment
Men who took antidepressant medication for unrelated problems concerning sexual dysfunction complained to their doctors of delayed ejaculation. It was soon realized that antidepressants could be used to treat premature ejaculation, but antidepressants can have unpleasant side effects, and they are expensive.

As a result, some men prefer to try topical lubricants or natural supplements. These products are safer, with minimal side effects and much more affordable.

  • Topical Lubricants (Desensitizing agents) immediately increase sensitivity and pleasure, and give a more intense and satisfying sexual experience. Topical agents are gently massaged into the skin resulting in a well lubricated and warming sensation that enhances sexual pleasure and sexuality. The effects are almost immediate.

Exercises for Premature Ejaculation.
There are three behavioral methods that can be used singly or in combination.

  • The most successful is the “pause and squeeze” technique developed by Masters and Johnson. A man who feels an orgasm developing prematurely temporarily interrupts sexual activity. Then the man (or his partner) squeezes the shaft of the penis between a thumb and two fingers. After applying gentle pressure just below the head of the penis for about 20 seconds, the squeeze is released and sexual activity is resumed. The technique can be repeated as often as needed; if all goes well, the man will eventually learn to delay ejaculation without the squeeze.
  • A second approach is the “start-stop” method. The man brings himself close to orgasm with the aid of his partner or by self-stimulation. Before climax occurs, he stops, relaxes, and then begins again, repeating the cycle until he can no longer prevent ejaculation. The goal is to enable the man to recognize when orgasm is imminent and to learn how to put on the brakes, allowing the successful transition from masturbation to intercourse.
  • The third technique is to build up the pelvic muscles with Kegel exercises, which were developed originally to treat urinary incontinence in men and women. The man can identify the muscles by stopping the flow of urine in midstream. Once he has learned to control these muscles, he practices tightening them while his bladder is empty. He should hold each contraction for 10 seconds, then relax for 10 seconds, repeating the cycle 10 times three or four times a day.

Tthe above methods are safe, cheap and simple - and can help 60%-90% of men with premature ejaculation problems.
