There are several things you can try if you want to last longer during sex:
- Practice kegel exercises: Kegel exercises can help strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor, which can improve control over your orgasm. To do kegel exercises, squeeze the muscles you would use to stop the flow of urine and hold for a few seconds. Then release and relax for a few seconds before repeating.
- Use a thicker condom: Condoms that are made with thicker latex can help reduce sensitivity and help you last longer. You can also try using a condom with a desensitizing lubricant.
- Slow down: Instead of rushing through sex, try slowing down and focusing on your breath and your partner. This can help you build up arousal slowly and last longer.
- Take breaks: If you feel like you’re about to orgasm, try taking a break and focusing on something else for a few minutes before continuing. You can also try switching to a different sexual activity that doesn’t involve penetration.
- Try the stop-start technique: This technique involves stopping sexual activity just before you reach the point of no return and waiting for the feeling of impending orgasm to subside before continuing. This can help you learn to control your orgasm and last longer.
- Seek help: If you are struggling to last long enough during sex and it is causing problems in your relationship.
- Try different positions: Some sexual positions may be more conducive to lasting longer than others. Experimenting with different positions can help you find ones that allow you to control your arousal better.
- Manage stress and anxiety: Stress and anxiety can be major factors in premature ejaculation. Finding ways to manage stress and anxiety, such as through exercise, therapy, or relaxation techniques, can help improve your sexual endurance.
