Penis Function Issues: Dealing with Premature Ejaculation

There are hundreds of reasons to focus on penis health, but one reason why men make it a priority is because a healthy penis is generally in a better position to perform better sexually. Almost every man worries at some point about penis function and how an issue in this area could impact his sex life. One of the more common penis function challenges involves premature ejaculation.

Guys don’t like to talk about premature ejaculation, much less admit that they suffer from it, but it is actually a fairly common predicament. There have been numerous studies which have tried to determine exactly how common, with most finding that between 20% and 70% of men reported experiencing premature ejaculation at some time in their lives. One of the reasons for the wide variance in percentages is that until recently there was no solid definition for premature ejaculation. (In recent years, an accepted definition includes ejaculating within one minute or less of vaginal penetration.)

However, while the definition is valuable for research studies, the fact remains that if a man considers himself a premature ejaculator, even if his ejaculation release time is much longer than one minute, then he is going to wish to be able to extend his release time.

Tips

So if a man considers himself a premature ejaculator, what are some strategies he can employ to try to last longer in bed?

- Talk about it. First, it pays to know whether a partner or partners share a man’s assessment. They may be perfectly satisfied with sex the way it is and see no need for him to try to prolong his release time. If this is the case, the man may wish to reconsider his plans.

- Change positions. Different sex positions can stimulate the penis in different ways – so trying a new position may allow a man to last longer.

- Wear a condom. Sometimes having an extra layer on the penis diminishes sensitivity enough that a man can prolong his bed game.

- Edge. Edging is bringing the penis to the point at which it almost ejaculates and then stopping – and repeating several times. Many men employ edging when masturbating as a way of learning how to delay ejaculation while having partner sex. It is recommended a guy try this alone for a while, then discuss a partner-based version – that is, having sex, but withdrawing when ejaculation approaches, letting it subside a little, and then starting up again.

- Masturbate first. It can often help to masturbate before a date, so that when sex is available a few hours later, the penis may be less prone to releasing early.

- Work the penis muscles. Actually, the PC muscle – with PC standing for pubbococcygeus. This is the same muscle a man uses when he is urinating and needs to stop the urine from coming out. And it can play a similar role in preventing ejaculation. Squeezing and releasing that muscle helps to exercise it. One way to do so is to squeeze and release 20 times and then hold it on the last one for 15 or 20 seconds. Repeat this two or three times a day, then move on up to 25 or 30 squeezes, etc.

Premature ejaculation is nothing to be ashamed of – and many men who release quickly are able to continue engaging in sexual activities that please their partners tremendously.

Working penis function to improve premature ejaculation is easier if the penis is in good shape, so regular use of a first class penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) is an excellent idea. Find a crème that contains L-arginine, an amino acid that can help to keep penile blood vessels open and expanded when necessary. The creme should also include vitamin C, which helps give penis skin elasticity and also improves blood flow.
