How to Maintain a Healthy Sex Life While Dealing with Early Ejaculation

There are plenty of treatment options when it comes to dealing with premature ejaculation, but it can still be difficult to maintain or enjoy your sex life during the process. While some treatments do provide instant relief, they also lessen the sensitivity of a man’s penis, making the sex act less pleasurable and still more stressful. While there isn’t any magical cure-all for the condition, there are ways to improve your sex life while undergoing treatment.

Double Up on Treatment

The key to effective, long-term treatment for early ejaculation is to use both immediate treatments to deal with the immediate issue as well as long-term options that will control or eliminate the condition in the future. That means using gels, special condoms or cock rings as a part of your sex life now while also exploring long-term options like diet, exercise and therapy in order to identify and deal with the underlying cause. This type of treatment plan is best undertaken with the help, support and guidance of a medical professional as he or she can also prescribe pharmaceutical options for men who don’t respond well to over the counter options for immediate relief.

Don’t Skip the Hard Stuff

Once some guys find a short-term treatment that simply helps them last longer, they don’t bother with trying to figure out what the underlying cause might be. This is a huge mistake and one that puts your sex life at risk. Instead, get your partner involved in the short and long-term treatments in order to avoid any stress that can come from one partner feeling isolated from the other. Dealing with early ejaculation isn’t easy and it isn’t something men should ever face alone.

Change Your Routine

Once your partner is aware of the problem and involved in the treatment process, that makes it a lot easier to do simple and fun things in the bedroom that can improve your staying power. Changing positions often and option for positions where the underside of the penis isn’t stimulated as much can both help improve stamina. Taking breaks from penetrative sex can also help. When you start to feel yourself building towards an orgasm, stop what you’re doing and switch things up, or go down on your partner or switch to some foreplay and teasing. Not only will this technique improve your stamina, it will keep your partner satisfied and quite literally begging for more.

Try a Sex Toy

For many men dealing with early ejaculation, there’s simply no getting around the fact that they will ejaculate too quickly, especially when they first start treating the problem. Instead of getting upset about it, let it happen and then finish satisfying your partner with other parts of your body and, of course, sex toys. Too many men shy away from using sex toys on their partners as they feel it’s some sort of competition but, really, it’s the ultimate control. You get to have a clear head and be in control of exactly what she experiences while she lays back and is mercy to your every whim.

Go Back to High School

Want to really reset your sex drive? Go back to working your way around the bases and really having to earn each one. Go to a drive in and make out, or sneak over to the park to find a quiet spot. Don’t let things go too far and agree that you’ll be putting on the breaks at a certain spot. Some men may still experience early ejaculation during this time, even without sex, but they will also experience the thrill of the chase again which can help boost libido and, over time, improve stamina.
