Medication has also been pursued as a means to control premature ejaculation. While pills such as Cialis and Viagra help men more easily achieve stronger, longer, and harder erections, none of these magical manhood medications address the issue of delaying one’s ejaculation. For that, some men are turning to off-label usage of antidepressants. These medications are notorious for creating sexual side effects, namely an inhibition of sexual arousal and difficulty in achieving sexual satisfaction. While most people would view such side effects in a negative light, the premature ejaculator may consider such medication to be an attractive option for dealing with his problem.
But antidepressants are serious business. Their main goal is to fundamentally alter a person’s emotional stability, and they augment some very important neurotransmitters. These brain chemicals affect everything from your mood to your heartbeat to your basic motor skills. Taking an antidepressant to help you last longer in bed is like renting a five star hotel room just to get the free piece of chocolate they leave on your pillow. It hardly seems worth the risk considering there are other, simpler, and safer solutions which currently exist.
However, if anxiety over one’s perceived lack of sexual performance is so acute that it causes a man to become depressed, this is a serious condition which should be discussed with your doctor. Such medication should only be used under the careful supervision of a qualified medical professional and all instructions should be followed very carefully. Also, this should be considered an option of last resort for a chronic and serious ejaculatory problem, not an easy fix for an occasional lack of control.
How to Choose Premature Ejaculation Pills?
Before we rush into how to solve this embarrassing shortcoming, we must first discuss the most common causes of premature ejaculation. Defined as obtaining an orgasm in under two minutes after initiating intercourse, premature ejaculation occurs in roughly 30% of all men ages 18 to 59.
Early climaxes are primarily a psychological problem. In fact, recurring PE is classified as a mental disorder comparable to depression in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Poor emotional well-being, including sexual repression, depression, financial stress, and poor self-esteem are all major contributing factors to an unwanted, early climax.
Next on our list is lack of sex. If you’re not romping around in the sack on a regular basis, overexcitement from finally getting some action can be difficult - and sometimes even impossible - to control. Luckily, regular masturbation - or just plain having more sex - is an easy remedy for this particular cause.
Tip #1: Chill out! (Performance Anxiety Causes Premature Ejaculation.)
When it comes to arousal, the fear of under-performing can actually cause you to do just that. Poor self-esteem over body image, penis size, and sexual prowess can build up your anxiety and stress levels in the bedroom, resulting in untimely ejaculation. If anxiety is causing you to come to quick, the best bet is to breathe deep and avoid psyching yourself out prior to intercourse. Take your time during foreplay to give your nerves a chance to relax. The ladies will definitely appreciate the extra attention.
Tip #2: Masturbate More Often. (It’s Good for You!)
Clinical sexologists and physicians alike recommend regular masturbation as a fundamental aspect of good health for men. Orgasms caused by self-stimulation improve blood pressure, reduce the risk of prostate cancer, and help to maintain a healthy heart rate. Ejaculating on a regular basis also helps release pent up stress and sexual tension, thus reducing the likelihood of overexcitement at the start of intercourse.
Not masturbating, on the other hand, greatly reduces how long you are capable of lasting in bed, and decreases your ability to control ejaculate, in addition to increasing the likelihood of a wet dream.
Beating your meat is also a good way to build up endurance for the real deal. Practice makes perfect when it comes to coming, so test out different hand strokes and techniques during your personal playtime to better prepare yourself for the heightened sensations of intercourse.
Tip #3: Decrease Sensitivity with Condoms or Creams.
Extreme penile sensitivity can make the difference between lasting 30 minutes or lasting 30 seconds. Luckily, there are plenty of sex creams and toys on the market that work specifically to prevent ejaculating too soon by reducing friction and sensitivity. Double layering with condoms is a simple fix, but if you prefer skin-to-skin contact instead, topical creams are far more effective at decreasing unexpected ejaculations.
Stop Premature Ejaculation Before It’s Too Late
Aside from the obvious sexual disappointment, chronic premature ejaculation is a serious disorder that can negatively impact your relationships, self-esteem, health and overall outlook on life. But, as you can see from the list above, untimely ejaculation is easy to overcome - no pun intended.
