Four Steps to Lasting Longer in Bed

Lasting Longer in bed

Every man wants to last longer and perform better in bed. Being good in bed is, after all, one of the best and most effective ways to keep a relationship healthy. A good sex life requires a lot of things – physical attraction, an emotional connection, attentiveness to your partner and also taking care of yourself. If you want to last longer between the sheets and take care of your partner’s needs then you need to take care of yourself as well. These four simple steps will improve your health and give you a boost in the bedroom as well.

Diet & Exercise

As with every other part of your life, diet and exercise play a huge role in your sexual appetite and performance. Watching what you eat and increasing your routine exercise program can increase your energy levels across the board. By choosing certain foods rich in vitamins and minerals you can also give yourself a boost in bed. Celery, avocados. Garlic, chocolate, figs and almonds all offer essential vitamins, amino acids and enzymes that support a healthy sex drive as well as testosterone production. This kind of healthy regimen can also help men suffering with common sexual performance issues, including premature ejaculation. Mix up your routine eating habits with some new meal ideas and follow it up with regular exercise. Ditch the fast food and nights in front of the TV and you’ll start to notice a difference within a week.

Take Control

If you want to avoid early ejaculation and make your sexcapades last longer for your partner, learn how to reign things in. There are a number of different techniques men have used over the years to bring themselves back from the brink. While some men try to remember baseball statistics or perform complex mathematical equations in their head other rely on breathing exercises or meditative suggestions. Whatever the method, the goal is the same – to change your focus and essentially disconnect momentarily from your body.

It’s quite the opposite. Even ancient sex guides advise men to focus their minds elsewhere in order to last longer. Practice teasing yourself almost to the point of no return so that you can work on techniques that work for you. Message boards, forums and websites that deal with premature ejaculation treatments can give you specific techniques to try.

Fantasy Time

Let your mind run wild and see what happens. There’s nothing sexier than a man who wants to try something new. Pick up a book or dig up those magazines you kept ‘just for the articles’ but, this time, actually read the articles. Forgo visual porn in favour of something a bit more cerebral and it can easily get your own creative juices flowing.

Masturbation

Masturbation as a tip for ways to last longer and perform better in bed may seem counter-intuitive but have a quick ‘talk with the bishop’ can actually do you plenty of favour in bed. First of all, masturbating before you have sex with your partner will let you last longer – it’s a fact every man knows and has probably done once or twice. But masturbation also lets you get in touch with your own body which means you’ll know when you’re getting close to orgasm and, if needed, you’ll be able to pull things back a bit, regain control and last longer with your partner. Masturbation also compliments your fantasy life and you may be surprised how often you’ll come up with great ideas right when your hands are too busy to write them down. Finally, healthy masturbation is linked to prostate health and a lower occurrence of prostate cancer for men.

Being better in bed is about more than just picking up on the latest moves or working on your pick up lines. It’s more about taking care of yourself so that you’re in peak physical condition and, of course, keeping your mind sharp and your creative juices flowing. Take care of yourself and you’ll be able to take care of your partner as well.
