Premature ejaculation is a condition in which a man ejaculates earlier than he or his sexual partner would like. It is the most common sexual disorder in men younger than 40. The fact that females tend to have a sexual arousal pattern that is less acute or requires more time in general to reach sexual climax or satisfaction compounds the problem. There are medications for this condition, but there are also "natural" solutions to this problem that one could try first. These techniques or approaches are best attempted with the support of the man's partner. Contrary to the commonsense belief that sex is best unplanned, such preparations can actually facilitate sexual satisfaction in both partners.
Firstly, a man can try masturbating with ejaculation before sexual intercourse. This takes advantage of a man's innate latency period, the time after orgasm when he simply cannot have another one. He may find that getting to the next ejaculation will take a longer time. This method is best for younger men who can achieve several orgasms over several hours. As one ages, this latency period tends to increase. Thus, this method is not ideal for older men.
A method popularized by Masters and Johnson to stop premature ejaculation naturally, the pioneering authors of the famous sex study, is the start-stop method. This requires a certain discipline on the part of the man and, ideally, cooperation from his partner. He must notify the partner as soon as he feels that he is near the threshold of excitement leading to orgasm/ejaculation. The partner should then immediately cease all stimulation This is known to be uncomfortable but, fortunately, not painful. This technique often depletes the feeling of imminent ejaculation. Practicing this technique should be done at least 10 times. Though requiring effort, reports indicate this method is highly successful in many couples. It also facilitates openness and communication about sexual needs.
Still another natural method to stop premature ejaculation naturally is the use of psychological tricks. During intercourse when a man senses impending orgasm, he may try to visualize or imagine nonsexual or aversive stimuli. For example, dead babies, grandparents dancing naked, or a recent gory horror film. A related technique, which may or may not be effective, depending on a man's tastes, is to apply sharp pain. Pressure on the center of the chest applied by the knuckles (the sterna rub), or other bony areas such as the temple, or any other sort of pain may cause a man to get startled and become less stimulated.
Consulting a mental health professional, such as a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist is also an option. The exploration of the unique psychological and biological cause of a man's premature ejaculation problem will help in the formulation of a psychological solution best suited to remedy his situation. Couples or individual psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy may be recommended. Such professionals are also the best to judge the need for pharmacological treatment (drugs). In such a case, drugs that delay orgasm or topical medications that decrease genital sensitivity may be given. A psychiatrist, being a doctor, should also be able to identify a general medical condition, rather than a primary psychological problem, as the cause of premature ejaculation and treat accordingly.
