As with many medical conditions, the internet is full of strange and terrible advice for treating early ejaculation. Furthermore, since early ejaculation has been a problem for men throughout history, we’ve inherited a host of folk remedies and obscure ancient cures. Of course, many of these have anecdotal evidence that they have worked for some people, but here are some of the strangest cures that we’ve found online.
Hypnosis: hypnotherapists claim to be able to naturally cure early ejaculation by teaching relaxation, enhancing self-control, and healing old sexual traumas that are subconsciously influencing current behaviours. Hypnosis claims to help men envision a future self as a powerful, confident lover.
EFT: Emotional Freedom Technique is a technique of energy healing where you use your fingers to tap energy meridian points on your body. These meridians are derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has been the practised in China for more than 5000 years. These meridians describe energy pathways connecting the various parts of the body.
EFT therapy includes gently tapping on the end points of these meridians with the fingers while mentally focusing on the problem, to settle energy disturbances. The act of tapping settles the energy and calms the associated emotions. Focusing on premature ejaculation while tapping the meridians and repeating reassuring phrases theoretically solves the problem.
Yoga: many people recommend regular yoga practice to help treat early ejaculation problems, for enhanced breath and muscle control. One unusual yoga technique is to hold the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth during intercourse.
Acupuncture: practitioners claim that acupuncture can help regulate mood and stress by stimulating nerves, and therefore alleviate problems associated with early ejaculation.
Smell: Ancient Egyptians used the scent of a lotus flower to stimulate desire and increase sexual stamina, while modern aromatherapists suggest the fragrance of jasmine. Jasmine is said to increase libido and help with premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and frigidity.
Diet: Some sources suggest eating the powdered shell of emu eggs, or 2-3 cloves of raw garlic every day. And of course many people recommend aphrodisiac foods, such as oysters, chocolate, celery, bananas, peaches, strawberries, pomegranates, and green chills. An old standby folk remedy still popular on some forums is just to drink a little alcohol prior to sex, to calm sexual response and allow men to last longer. And Cleopatra is rumored to have fed opiates to her lovers in order to prolong her pleasure, but surely no woman would resort to such tactics today.
Many people have tried these techniques, and probably even some stranger than these. And if they found something effective in treating or curing early ejaculation, then they should be congratulated. But modern times have brought us natural, proven, safe, and effective treatments that don’t involve strange rituals or physical discomfort. Furthermore, one doesn’t have to travel to the ends of the earth or consult arcane tomes for effective treatments.
We now know that many herbs and vitamins can be used to effectively cure early ejaculation issues, and have the science to prove it. B-complex vitamins such as vitamin B6 and Folic Acid are important to overall health and energy levels, and play a crucial role in many body functions. Other herbs, such as blue passion flower and griffonia seeds, can calm anxiety and increase testosterone. And the amino acid L-Arginine helps to increase blood flow. The combination of these natural ingredients into a single supplement can be a powerful method to treat the causes and effects of premature ejaculation.
While sufferers in the past must have had a difficult time applying all these various treatments, those days are in the past. For a fully satisfying sex life and more harmonious relationships, the modern man doesn’t need to turn to internet forums or message boards, any more than he needs to consult gypsies or decipher hieroglyphics. He doesn’t need to smell like garlic and jasmine. He just needs to use the right combination of natural ingredients to help treat both infrequent and chronic premature ejaculation, and fortunately such a supplement isn’t difficult to find.
