How to Stop Premature Ejaculation

July 24, 2007 (Press Release) -- Premature ejaculation is the number one most common sexual problem in men. Despite the prevalence of ads offering to cure erectile dysfunction, far more men have trouble controlling orgasm than achieving an erection. Premature ejaculation (otherwise known as premature climax, rapid ejaculation, ejaculation praecox or early ejaculation) affects 25-40% of men. What is it? It occurs when a man loses voluntary control over ejaculation, having an orgasm before his partner in more than half of his sexual encounters.

Otherwise, premature ejaculation is defined as the occurrence of ejaculation within two minutes of initiating sexual contact in 50% or more of all sexual encounters. This is understood to be a very common problem. Dr. Alfred Kinsey, the renowned sex researcher, postulated that three quarters of men suffered from premature ejaculation in the 1950s. Modern understanding of premature ejaculation is that it can cause psychological distress, unhappiness and put strain on relationships.

Historically thought to be a mental/psychological disorder, premature ejaculation is also a biological phenomenon. It is related to erectile dysfunction in some men. If you suffer from premature ejaculation, you need not worry. There are many solutions available.

The majority of men who ejaculate prematurely do so because they are extra sensitive to stimulation of the penis. If you suffer from this problem, you can treat it by reducing the stimulation of the penis. You can buy creams that dull the feeling in the skin of the penis, or use multiple condoms. These methods may indeed delay orgasm, but they also reduce the feeling of sex, which can be quite self-defeating.

A different way to fight premature ejaculation without creams or extra condoms is called “the squeeze technique.” This method involves stopping sex when you come close to orgasm and placing a thumb on the frenulum, the skin at the tip and directly beneath the head of the penis. You or your partner then apply pressure, blocking ejaculation until the desire to orgasm passes. Then you can continue to have sex until you’re ready to orgasm.

Or if you don’t want to squeeze your penis you can simply stop having sex and withdraw your penis when you come close to ejaculation. After stopping stimulation, just wait a moment or two until you feel ready to continue sex without coming to climax. This method is called “the stop technique.” Both the stop technique and the squeeze technique are effective, but they involve stopping sex, and reducing the pleasure your partner feels.

A great way to put an end to premature ejaculation is to use erectile dysfunction exercises. These exercises strengthen the pubococcygeus muscle, which regulates orgasm and urination. This commonly overlooked muscle actually has a great deal of control over orgasm. By doing special exercises that keep this muscle in shape and allow you to control it, you can put an end to premature ejaculation and enjoy a healthy, satisfying sex life.
