1. 13 tips for men to last longer in bed
How long does the average person last
during sex?
According to a 2005 study conducted across five countries, vaginal sex generally lasts
for around 5 to 6 minutes.
That's a lot longer than what the adult film industry often depicts: sex going on for
hours, which can give a false idea of how long sex should last, says Jamin Brahmbhatt,
MD, a urologist at the Orlando Health Medical Group Urology PUR clinic.
However, it's important to note that there's no correct amount of time for sex to last and
it's up to you and your partner to decide the optimal time for you both.
Why you might not be lasting as long as
you want to
It's common for men to finish too quickly once in a while, but if you nearly always
ejaculate after less than a minute of sex, you may be diagnosed with premature
ejaculation.

2. It may be difficult to pinpoint exactly why this happens to you, but here are some
common culprits:
 Psychology: Studies show that anxiety, particularly anxiety about your sexual performance, is
linked to premature ejaculation. Feeling depressed, stressed out, or guilty can also make you
more likely to finish quickly. Men may also experience premature ejaculation at higher rates if
they have poor body image or are victims of sexual abuse.
 Experience: Your level of sexual experience can also affect how long you last in bed. "Men may
also climax faster if they are not having sex often or this is their first time engaging in any sexual
activity," Brahmbhatt says.
 High amounts of free testosterone: Studies show that men with premature ejaculation
tend to have higher levels of free testosterone, which can lead to symptoms like loss of energy
and low sex drive. However, scientists say that more research is needed to determine why this is
the case.
 Hyperthyroidism: Premature ejaculation canalso be caused by hyperthyroidism, a condition
in which the thyroid gland in your neck produces too much of a hormone called thyroxine.
Researchers aren't sure why thyroid issues affect your sex stamina, but after being treated for
hypothyroidism, men are much less likely to experience premature ejaculation.
How to last longer during sex
If you are struggling with finishing too early, here are 13 things you can do that may
help.
1. Get a permanent natural herb for yourself
Sexologists report that it only takes a moment to enlarge the penis up to 6.4
inches, and medical professors from Stanford University has demonstrated it
thanks to several medical tests, which proved that 120 minutes was enough for
the corpora cavernosa (cavernous bodies) of the penis to begin to grow. This
way, the penis grows in size and width, and the erections last longer, which
means you could satisfy your partner up to 5 times in a row.
Professor of the Stanford University created a quick and 100% natural formula to
increase the size of the penis, and the entire scientific world, from sexologists to
doctors and academics, confirmed that this important discovery will end a
problem that is shameful for thousands of men. Additionally, this discovery is
supported by independent tests and clinical and lab trials, among others.

3. 2. Get support from your partner
Getting support from your partner can be an important part of the process. "Tobegin
with, tell your partner that you want to try lasting longer, and ask your partner if they're
interested in that," says Vanessa Marin, MFT, a licensed sex therapist in private
practice.
This may help your partner understand what's going on and help you talk openly about
any feelings of frustration. Once communication is open with your partner, you can
discuss exactly what triggers your orgasm and try practicing the following methods.
3. Use condoms
Since premature ejaculation may be a result of hypersensitivity, using a condom is a
simple solution that may make sex last longer. The condom forms a barrier around the
penis that dulls sensation and may lead to delayed ejaculation.
4. Learn the pause-squeeze method
The pause-squeeze method can be done while having sex or masturbating and involves:
1. Having sex until you feel that you are about to ejaculate.
2. Then, pulling out and squeezing the tip of your penis for several seconds, or until the
need to ejaculate passes.
3. And finally, continuing to have sex and repeating the technique as needed.
"The theory is you stop the flow, let the penis rest, and then go back at it to increase your
time," Brahmbatt says.
Brahmbatt says that this can be one of the more difficult treatments for premature
ejaculation because it takes a lot of self-control. Practicing repeatedly and
communicating clearly with your partner may help ease the process.
5. Do pelvic floor exercises
Your pelvic floor muscles lie just below your prostate and your rectum and just like
other muscles, they can be strengthened through exercise. Experts believe that if pelvic
floor muscles are too weak, it may be harder for you to delay your ejaculation.
Toflex your pelvic floor muscles, act as if you are trying to stop yourself from peeing or
passing gas and feel which muscles move. To tone these muscles, follow these steps:

4. 1. Tighten the pelvic floor muscles – you can lie down or sit if this makes it easier.
2. Hold the muscles taut for 3 seconds.
3. Relax the muscles for 3 seconds.
4. Repeat the exercise as many times as needed.
Toget good results, you should try todo three sets of 10 repetitions each day.
Quick tip: Kegel exercises can also help strengthen your pelvic floor. Check out our
comprehensive guide to kegel exercises for both men and women.
6. Slow your roll
Thrusting quickly creates intense stimulation and may make you more likely to orgasm
after a short time. Thrusting quickly can also make it harder to recognize more subtle
sensations in your body, and you may not realize that you're getting close to orgasm,
Marin says.
"Try tomove at a slower pace, and regularly take little breaks to move extra-slow," says
Marin. You may be surprised that some partners might like slower movement, especially
at the start of sex.
Positions that limit your movement, like having your partner on top, can also be helpful
because you aren't able to lose control and start thrusting too quickly.
7. Change up positions
When you change positions, it requires you to take a bit of a break and slow your
movements.
"You're not getting as much stimulation during the transition, so it allows your body to
cool off and get further from orgasm," says Marin.
Positions where you can't penetrate as deeply may also help, such as a spooning position
where you are the "big spoon."

8. Try edging
Edging is the process of getting right up to the edge of an orgasm, then stopping yourself
to cool down before starting up again.

5. Tolast longer during sex, repeat the edging process as many times as possible, says
Marin. Since you're not allowing yourself to orgasm and taking periodic breaks, you'll
naturally last longer.
9. Masturbate before sex
Masturbating before sex can help you last longer, since your body won't be as sensitive
to sexual stimulation, Marin says.
It may take some trial and error to find out how long before sex you should masturbate.
Because if you masturbate right before sex, it might be difficult to get an erection again,
so soon. But if you orgasm too many hours beforehand, you might be completely reset
by the time you have sex and ejaculate too quickly.
Basically, you want to find that sweet spot where you lower your stimulation but don't
kill your sex drive, Marin says.
10. Distract yourself
Another option is to distract yourself with other thoughts, including something
mundane like what you'll eat for dinner or a movie you saw last week. This can help
bring your mind away from the pleasurable sensations you're having and may briefly
delay ejaculation.
However, it may also take away from your enjoyment of sex and your intimacy with your
partner. You can try and see if this method helps you last longer at certain times, but
overall, remember to stay present and connected to your partner during sex.
11. Ask your doctor about numbing medications
Prescription numbing medications use ingredients like lidocaine and prilocaine, which
generally come as creams or sprays that will decrease sensitivity, and can be a helpful
way to treat premature ejaculation.
Numbing creams or sprays should be carefully applied to the penis 20 to 30
minutes before sex to be most effective. You should also wash the cream away before
having sex so it doesn't affect your partner.
"Make sure your partner knows you are using it — as a heads up and also to make sure
they don't have a history of allergic reaction or problem with its use," Brahmbatt says.

6. 12. Take Viagra
Though sildenafil (Viagra) is usually prescribed to treat people who have trouble
keeping an erection, research shows that it can help with premature ejaculation as well.
A 2007 study found that Viagra helped men with premature ejaculation last longer and
was more effective than the stop-squeeze technique. At the end of the study, 87% of
subjects using Viagra said they wanted to continue this treatment, compared with 45%
of subjects using stop and squeeze.
13. Talk to your healthcare provider or a sex
therapist
Talking to your healthcare provider can help review your health history and determine
which of the above options are best for you.
A sex therapist can also be a valuable resource, especially if you think your premature
ejaculation is linked to an issue like anxiety or lack of experience.
For example, sex therapists can help you identify your emotions before or during sex
that may be affecting how quickly you orgasm, or help teach you how to do kegel
exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor.
