These men consistently ejaculate more quickly than they or their partners want them to during intercourse, thus the term rapid or premature ejaculation. Ejaculation may occur immediately prior to or just after insertion of the penis into the partner, without any sense of voluntary control. Causes of premature ejaculation include over-stimulation, anxiety over sexual performance, and stress. It may also be due to a male’s lack of awareness of the preliminary sensations that lead to orgasm, making him unable to control the process leading to ejaculation.
There are several possible solutions to dealing with premature ejaculation:
1. The stop-start method works to make a man more aware of his sensations as he is approaching orgasm. His partner manually stimulates his penis while he focuses on his sensations. When he feels that orgasm is approaching, he has his partner stop the stimulation. The extreme sexual tension will be diffused, and then the partner can begin restimulation. Once the couple becomes proficient at this, then the procedure is applied to intercourse.
2. The squeeze technique is commonly performed with the premature ejaculator laying down. His partner stimulates the genital area until the penis is erect, then squeezes the penis for 3-4 seconds by holding the penis with the thumb on the ridge between the head and shaft, and the first two fingers situated on either side of the ridge opposite the thumb. This squeeze eliminates the desire for ejaculation. This technique should be repeated several times during genital stimulation, so that foreplay can continue without ejaculation. Once mastered, this method can be used in intercourse when the man’s partner inserts his penis and sits on top of him motionless. When he feels close to ejaculation, his partner lifts off of his penis and administers a squeeze, then returns to the sitting position. Over time this results in ejaculatory control.
3. Condoms provide protection against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. However, they may also help to delay ejaculation in males who have trouble with premature ejaculations.
4. A sex therapist may be able to help men and/or couples work on the problem of premature ejaculation if these techniques are not helpful.
