Here are some techniques and treatments used to stop premature ejaculation. A starting point is to consult a general practitioner or one of our doctors and seek medical help. Our online store offers local numbing cream (EMLA) and tablet (Priligy), which can help prevent premature ejaculation.

Drugs such as Priligy and EMLA do not provide a permanent solution for PD; But using any of them in combination with behavioral techniques can help with a long-term solution. Here are the two most common behavioral techniques for preventing premature ejaculation. The techniques are designed for a couple to help a man “unlearn” the habit of premature ejaculation.

1. Clamping technology

The purpose of the compression technique

Squeezing your penis when you feel like you are about to ejaculate will reduce the urge to ejaculate. Over time, you should recognize this drive and be able to control yourself freely.

How to use the compression technique

After a few exercises, you can get a feel for what works best for you. In general, the squeeze technique works best if you follow these steps:

A moment before you think you are going to ejaculate, you or your partner pinch the head of your penis. You can place your thumb under or above your penis (see photo above).

Keep the pressure for 10 to 20 seconds until you feel the urge to ejaculate disappear. After releasing the pressure, wait about 30 seconds, then continue stimulation. You may find that your penis straightens less during this time; it’s normal.

For best results, this process is done several times before ejaculation is allowed.

Compression exercises from masturbation can also be helpful.

2. Stop-start technology

The goal of the stop-start technique

If you stop having sex or reduce the stimulus when you feel like you are about to ejaculate, your urge to ejaculate decreases. It works similarly to the squeeze technique, in that the more you practice this technique, the more confident you will feel when delaying ejaculation. Over time, you should be able to develop control during sex without stopping.

When you masturbate, practice the stop-start technique

As with the squeeze technique, it may be helpful to practice the stop-start technique during masturbation. It helps some men to masturbate almost to ejaculation and then stop. Repeating this two or three times before ejaculation can help develop control.

What should I do if these techniques do not work for me?

The first thing to remember is not to be afraid. Premature ejaculation is one of the most common types of sexual dysfunction in men and can be caused by several factors, including psychological causes. Anxiety about your condition can therefore increase your emotional stress, which in turn can make your PD worse.

The best thing you can do is try to figure out what the root cause of your PD is, so you can figure out the best way to treat it. If you’ve tried behavioral techniques and found that they don’t work, the next best step may be to see a doctor. Our online sports clinic provides information and advice on this process.
