Premature ejaculation can make for some pretty uncomfortable scenarios — as several admissions in our weekly Confessions series can attest to — so it’s about time people started sharing tips on how to deal with this problem once and for all.

Give these a go and who knows? You might add another 15 seconds to your record. It’s a start…

Practice control when you pee. Try stopping mid-stream. Repeat until you’re good at it. Then it’ll carry over in the bedroom.

If it’s actual premature ejaculation, there are medications for that. Rubbing one out ahead of time so you don’t have a round in the chamber will help. Best tip is to stop yourself right before you finish, as close to as possible. Let things cool off for a moment… and then you can go for aaaages.

Another tip that I use is to look at things in the room and think of words that rhyme with them. ‘Lamp, stamp, camp…..etc.’

Focus on breathing. There’s a reason you tend to “clench up” and start breathing more shallow (or stop breathing at all) just before climax. Proper breathing technique can keep that from happening, and delay the finish. Also, focusing on breathing keeps you from getting lost too far in the moment (without reducing you to doing math problems or thinking about baseball, or other things that take you out of the scene entirely); and just like with any strenuous activity, proper breathing keeps you from exhausting yourself as quickly, so you don’t tire yourself out and can stay “active” longer.

If you are getting too excited switch positions. The mini break helps.

Use your other body parts to make her happy before you get happy. If you practice it enough, you can eventually get happy at the same time.

I’m 41 and I came upon my solution later in life. This was when I was off my meds. I don’t masturbate. Most jerk sessions take around 1 to 5 minutes. My goal with jerking off was to cum. But then when it came to sex, I wanted it to last. I wanted to enjoy it for more than 20 seconds. So I was training for a sprint when I wanted to have a marathon. I can’t masturbate for 20 min, I get bored. So I just quit. I’m fortunate that my wife has a high libido so I don’t NEED to masturbate. Don’t train for a sprint and expect to perform a marathon.

Have sex more. Don’t feel discouraged because you finished early last time. Your stamina will come. Focus on her.

If none of that works, try some creams or pills I reckon. If you’re dealing with premature ejacultation, or perhaps erectile dysfunction, it might be worth chatting to your GP. Or, if you’re not a fan of a face-to-face consultation, you can always use an online pharmacy or online doctor, such as The Independent Pharmacy, to discuss your ED issues and get the treatment you need.
