4 Ways to Prevent Premature Ejaculation

1. Stop as Often as Necessary

If you feel you're nearing ejaculation and want to hold off, take your penis out of your partner and wait until the pre-orgasm feelings subside. Then, start having intercourse again. Repeat this procedure each time you feel like you're nearing orgasm, until you're ready to actually climax. If you practice the stop/start method each time you have sex, you'll eventually learn to pace yourself naturally so you don't climax too soon.

2. Desensitize Your Penis

Topical anesthetic creams for the penis can be helpful in preventing premature ejaculation. You simply rub the cream into the tip of your penis, and it will numb it sufficiently to keep an orgasm at bay during the early stages of intercourse. The cream's effects don't last very long, however, so you should be ready to climax by the time the anesthetic wears off. You can also try wearing two (or even more) condoms during sex to desensitize your penis. The more condoms you wear, the less direct stimulation your penis will get. You'll still be getting enough stimulation to reach orgasm eventually, but it will take you longer to get there.

3. Squeeze It

>Whenever you feel you're right on the verge of an orgasm, take your penis out of your partner and firmly squeeze the tip of your penis for 30 seconds. This will hold off the orgasm, and you'll be able to continue with intercourse. Just keep repeating the squeeze method each time you feel an orgasm approaching, until you're ready to climax.

4. Think About Something Else

Sometimes, simply distracting yourself with other thoughts is enough to keep an orgasm from happening. While continuing to have intercourse with your partner, think about something dull, like washing the dishes or paying bills. If this isn't enough for you, then think of something that's unpleasant, like cleaning out the cat's litter box. The more you can distract yourself from sexual thoughts while still maintaining your erection, the less likelihood there will be of reaching orgasm prematurely.
