Fix Premature Ejaculation

Start and stop technique

Also known as “stop-start” technique, this was developed in the 1960s by urologist James Semans to treat premature ejaculation. It’s basically a technique that involves masturbating until you are very close to having an orgasm, at which point you should stop masturbating and relax, so that you avoid ejaculation. Then, before losing your full erection, you should repeat the process again. The time needed to relax between the cycles is about 30 to 60 seconds.

You should do this three to five days per week, trying to get as many cycles in as possible without ejaculating. However, it should be noted that if at any time ejaculation becomes inevitable, you must not under any circumstances try to stop or interrupt it.

The main objective of this technique is that the man learns to recognize the sensations prior to an inevitable act of ejaculation and stop at the right time to prevent the arrival of an orgasm and thereby prolong the time of reaching orgasm.

Eventually, when you have learned to stop masturbating before ejaculating, you can invite your partner to be a part of the process. You will then be able to alert your partner to slow or stop the stimulation. With patience and discipline, in a few months you will learn to control your emotions during sex and also to respond effectively to the possible arrival of ejaculation.

However, do not neglect your partner while performing the stop-start technique. Some women prefer having an orgasm before carrying out the exercises. Others like more to get attention when their partner already has ejaculated. Just ask her, because your partner’s participation is important. Also, you will make her happy by showing that you care.

Technique of Kegel

This technique is named after Dr. Arnold Kegel, who in the middle of last century developed a series of routines based on exercises. Their original purpose was to strengthen the pelvic floor of women to reverse urinary incontinence often acquired after giving birth. Today it’s a technique that applies most often to men suffering with premature ejaculation. The idea behind this technique is to strengthen the “pubococcygeus”, or PC muscle, therefore giving you a greater control over the ejaculatory reflex.

Exercises developed by Dr. Kegel consist of contracting systematically pelvic floor muscles. It’s based on pre-established routines that seek to strengthen and improve the individual’s control over this area in order to be able to delay the ejaculation process.

First, you should locate your PC muscle. Most likely, you did not know this muscle existed. If you try stop a urine stream while urinating, you are contracting your PC muscle. Try it, and locate your PC muscle.

In order to use your PC muscle, you need to strenghten it. This is not something you could do in your gym by using weight machines.

Now, assuming you have properly located the PC muscle, start with routines of 10 contractions lasting three to 10 seconds with rest intervals of at least 10 seconds. First, it would be hard to squeeze the PC muscle even for a few seconds. The routines should be repeated about three times during the first days of exercise and then increased gradually up to 15.

As with every muscle, the PC muscle can feel sore when just starting out with the routines. Also, it’s important not to overtrain the PC muscle at first. You should gradually increase the contraction time of the PC muscle and add more routines as the PC muscle becomes stronger.

A strong PC muscle is definitely a good thing. It will make your erections harder, your orgasm stronger and allow you to delay and control ejaculation.

The application of techniques and exercises outlined above provide an important supplement in the treatment of premature ejaculation but in no way will replace a complete program that targets the premature ejaculation on all fronts and provide final and conclusive results.
