8 Best Home Remedies for Premature Ej.aculation
Premature ej.aculation happens when a person with a pen.is climaxes before they or their partner would’ve wanted to during s.ex. People dealing with premature ej.aculation tend to orgasm before or directly after penetration and are usually unable to delay ej.aculation.
The condition can lead to frustration and anxiety. Some people with premature ej.aculation may avoid s.ex as a result. But there are treatments that can help.
4. Dietary changes
In addition to zinc, magnesium also plays a role in your s.exual health and may play a role in premature ej.aculation, according to research.
Incorporating foods into your diet rich in zinc and magnesium may help increase the time it takes you to climax. Those foods include:
5. Pause-squeeze technique
The pause-squeeze technique may help ease premature ej.aculation by letting arousal dwindle before the climax. When you feel you’re ready to ej.aculate, stop and have you or your partner squeeze the end of your pen.is where the head joins the shaft.
Have them hold the squeeze for several seconds until you no longer want to climax. Be sure to communicate with your partner during this process because they won’t know the correct timing otherwise.
Repeat this process as much as necessary. Eventually, you may be able to delay ej.aculation without help.
7. Pelvic floor exercises
Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles can have a big impact on how long it takes you to climax.
An older 2014 study found that pelvic floor exercises can help men dealing with lifelong premature ej.aculation control their ej.aculatory reflex, increasing the time it takes for them to climax. To perform pelvic floor exercises:
Don’t forget to breathe, and remember to focus only on your pelvic floor muscles. Don’t tighten your abs, thighs, or buttocks.
8. Avoid intercourse for a period of time
This may seem counterintuitive, but focusing on other types of s.exual activity instead of intercourse may help take the pressure off your s.exual encounters.
Penetration isn’t the only way to reach s.exual satisfaction, so think about other ways you and your partner can feel the pleasure that won’t cause either of you distress or frustration.
