Articles with specific tips on dealing with premature ejaculation can be found on any major men’s health website. While the advice these articles offer can be invaluable help for men struggling with this common condition, they often overlook the underlying elements which can make that advice much more effective.
- Be Realistic From the Start
Too many men assume that they can wipe out premature ejaculation right from the beginning thanks to a number of products which do, in fact, do exactly that. Numbing gels, cock rings and other accessories can be used to effectively stop the issue from day one. But these are not long-term solutions as they don’t address the underlying cause. Before you begin any treatment process, talk to your doctor or other medical professional about the problem, how long you’ve been struggling with it and any other issues which may have arisen. This can not only help you rule out any underlying medical cause but it also gives you a starting point against which you can set goals and measure your progress as time goes on.
- Tracking Progress
Tracking progress when you’re dealing with an issue like early ejaculation is about more than just counting the seconds and minutes until you ejaculate – it’s about tracking your progress in better identifying the physical cues of an impending orgasm and being able to then control them more effectively. This may mean starting small and simply understanding the physical cues your body gives. While this may sound silly at first, it’s surprising how few men know these cues and how often they feel like their orgasm comes essentially out of left field. The best way to learn these cues? Masturbation. Even that can seem counter-intuitive at first but by masturbating slowly and mindfully, men can begin to pick up on even the most subtle cues.
- Don’t Stop at One Form of Treatment – Explore Your Options
Since there are so many different potential causes for premature ejaculation, there are also a number of different treatment options. Some, such as gels or pills, work on the short-term, to simply prevent the issue from happening by reducing sensation in the penis. Long-term options include therapy, stress reduction and healthy lifestyle changes such as improving a person’s diet or their overall fitness level. By combining different treatment options, men can treat the immediate problem while addressing the underlying cause for long-term success.
- Give Things Time to Work
Since long-term treatment options heave to tackle serious and often complex underlying issues such as stress or anxiety, the treatments can take some time before results are noticeable. Track which treatments you are using, when you began and how they have affected your overall progress. This will help you notice progress sooner and can also help to keep you motivated.
- Stay Motivated Through Support
Speaking of motivation, that’s the final key component to long term success. Reach out to medical professionals, support groups, online communities and even your partner. The more help and support you receive as you treat the condition, the more likely you will be to stick with longer treatment options and see them through to the end. Motivation is key and is another reason why tracking progress is so vital. Without those notes many men don’t realise how far they’ve come on the path to recovery since they only see how much farther they have to go.
No matter what treatment approach you choose to tackle premature ejaculation, these factors can help to improve your chances of success in the long-term. As a bonus, they can also be applied to other forms of self-improvement since they, at their core, all about goal setting and finding ways to persevere and maintain motivation.
