Premature ejaculation treatment
Many treatments are available for PE. Using both medicines and non-medical methods together often works best.
These several Non-medical methods help you to last for 30 mins:
Change your Sex Positions
Do more Seated Positions, Side-by-Side (Spooning), Woman on Top. This helps you to reduce less body contact, Reduced thrusting ability, Less pressure on the man. Try to avoid these positions such as Missionary (Man on Top, butterfly), Deep-Penetration Positions((Doggy Style, Legs-Over-Shoulders), Standing position(Standing Face-to-Face, Bent-Over Standing).
These positions increase body contact which causes Higher arousal, Increased nerve stimulation,increase depth, pressure, friction, muscle tension, and excitement. All of these factors speed up the ejaculatory reflex.
Try to distract yourself
During sex try to distract yourself such as by trying to focus your attention away from the sexual stimulation.
Withdrawing the penis
When you feel that you are getting close to ejaculation at that time, completely take out your penis and wait until the stimulation gets reduced. This is also known as the Stop-Start Method.
The Squeeze Method
When you feel that you are getting close to ejaculation at that time, you need to gently squeeze the tip of the penis (just below the head) for a few seconds. This reduces sexual excitement and helps delay ejaculation.
Pelvic Floor (Kegel) Exercises
Have you ever tried to stop urine by tightening the muscles .If yes, then you have to do the same thing tighten the muscles for 4-5 sec daily, it helps you to Strengthen muscles that control ejaculation.
Deep Breathing & Relaxation
During sex try to take deep breaths and never hold your breath.
Use more than one Condom
Using more than one condom helps you to reduce sensation during sex which can increase your time of drive.
By applying this tip you can control premature ejaculation. Even If you are not able to do it’s mean you require a diagnosis with the specialist.
Premature ejaculation treatment from sexologist
When home remedies and self-control techniques cannot help you then this is time for consulting a qualified sexologist is one of the most effective and reliable ways to treat premature ejaculation.
A sexologist does not just prescribe medicine blindly. Instead, they focus on identifying the root cause and providing a personalised treatment plan.
How a Sexologist Diagnoses Premature Ejaculation:
A sexologist usually begins with:
- Detailed sexual and medical history
- Duration of ejaculation (IELT – Intravaginal Ejaculation Latency Time)
- Assessment of stress, anxiety, or relationship issues
- Hormonal tests (testosterone, thyroid levels if required)
- Screening for erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, or nerve sensitivity.
This comprehensive diagnosis helps determine whether the condition is psychological, physical, neurological, or mixed. So it’s important to consult an expert sexologist if you are unable to perform for the last 30 mins.
Conclusion
PE is not a lifelong problem and it does not define a man’s masculinity or ability to satisfy his partner. As I discussed in this blog, premature ejaculation can occur due to physical, psychological, neurological, or lifestyle-related causes, and the first step is to identify the root cause is the step towards effective treatment.
With the right combination of non-medical techniques, such as changing positions, breathing exercises, pelvic floor training, and control methods like the stop–start and squeeze techniques, many men can significantly improve their control and confidence. If these self-treatment methods do not provide sufficient improvement, seeking help from a medical specialist is the right and responsible choice.
PE is normal, manageable, and curable in most cases. The proper guidance, patience, and treatment, a healthy and satisfying sexual life is absolutely achievable.
