Premature ejaculation (PE) is considered a fairly common male sexual dysfunction with a prevalence rate of around 30 percent. It is defined as ejaculation that occurs before or shortly after penetration and over which a man has no control. Men also need to feel distressed about their inability to control ejaculation to get a diagnosis of PE.
However, recently, medical experts have started to doubt that PE is a legitimate disorder. A review published recently in Clinical Anatomy even suggested that PE should not be defined as sexual dysfunction. The same review also states that men can learn how to have more control over their ejaculation time with exercises and techniques.
If you fall in the 30 percent of men struggling to last longer, consider these five exercises to gain more control over your bedroom performance.
It’s best first to practice the start-stop technique when masturbating before trying it when you’re with your SO. This is simply because you’ll feel less anxious during masturbation that during sex, allowing you to focus more on your excitement levels and learning when to stop.
To do the start-stop technique, simply focus on your excitement level and stop stimulation when you’re somewhere in the middle of your excitement, let your sexual excitement subside, and start again.
Yoga is considered as a form of physical exercise, a spiritual practice, and as a type of complementary and alternative therapy. The therapeutic effect of gentle stretching, breathing, and meditation involved in most yoga sessions was found to be superior to other forms of exercising therapies.
According to one study published a long time ago in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, yoga also provides a therapeutic effect on PE sufferers. A possible explanation for this could be that yoga provides significant stress relief while also increasing one’s insight into the body and mind – all things that could help men develop more control over their PE.
