5 Things You Can Do Today to Overcome Premature Ejaculation For Good

Premature ejaculation is a prevalent dysfunction in sexual performance among men. It is known to affect at least 30% of men all over the United States. Although it is quite common among younger men who are just starting to be sexually active, it is also a condition that besets many men who are older and who may have gone through a long period without sex.

Even though it is considered quite common, it is still difficult for most men to discuss it with either a doctor or their sexual partners. It has something to do with male pride, as obviously a man who can not exercise ejaculatory control long enough to satisfy a woman, may feel less of a man. This should not be the case, however. If there are more men who can admit to their condition and seek professional help, they will realize that they are not alone and that cure is possible.

One thing for sure, there are treatments available for premature ejaculation, as long as a man is willing to seek help for it. About 80% of men who seek therapy for it recover from the condition and are able to resume a satisfactory sexual life.

You can help yourself overcome premature ejaculation through simple steps which you can do on your own or with your partner. Here are a few of them:

1. Learn how to breathe properly. By taking deep breaths during intercourse, you will be able to calm your ejaculatory reflex, thereby prolonging ejaculation. Do regular deep breathing exercises so that proper breathing becomes a habit which can help you during sex.

2. Many sex experts would recommend distraction techniques, which help you take your mind off your own sexual arousal. Research shows a good number of men who suffer from premature ejaculation do so, because they are too anxious about their sexual performance. One way to lessen this anxiety is to focus on your partner’s sexual pleasure. By doing this, you are not just taking your mind off your sexual performance, but you are also making it a more pleasurable experience for your partner. She will still feel satisfied even though your erection is short lived.

3. Get into a regular exercise program. Exercise releases endorphins or the "happy hormone" which help improve your mood and can even give you a natural high! A good, well toned physique also gives your self confidence a boost. Regular exercise can also help you overcome sexual anxiety by relieving stress.

4. Encourage yourself to try different positions. You can ask her to be on top which allows you more control on her movements. You can tell her to slow down her thrusts to keep you from reaching your “point of no return” too soon. A little bit of creativity is also good for your sexual experience with your partner.

5. Most of all, communicate! Make your partner understand what you are going through and engage her in helping you overcome premature ejaculation. It will not only help you get over your sexual anxieties, but it will also bring your relationship to a deeper level. It will also make her avoid feeling rejected whenever your premature ejaculation prevents her from reaching orgasm also.

Sex is meant to be a pleasurable activity. If you are suffering from premature ejaculation and it is getting in the way of your finding pleasure in sex, do not hesitate to consult your doctor about it.
