There are plenty of articles and websites that aim to help men treat premature or early ejaculation. Some advocate natural methods, others discuss pharmaceutical options and cutting edge treatments such as Botox. Having so many options for treatment has made this troublesome and chronic condition easier to deal with for men across the world. But what if there was a way to prevent early ejaculation BEFORE it strikes?

For many men, there is.

Early ejaculation, like so many sexual performance problems, can be triggered by just about anything. In many cases, there is usually a specific trigger or type of trigger which can kick start the condition. Finding and identifying that trigger is an important step in determining which type of treatment will work best for men coping with the condition. Once they know what’s triggering the problem, applying the correct treatment usually brings marked improvement in a relatively short amount of time. That’s not to say the condition is resolved quickly, but once men know what to do to address the underlying problem, progress begins to happen.

Seeing progress during the process is usually enough to motivate men to stick with their positive changes. Guys who before would suppress their emotions or stuff their worries will suddenly embrace meditation, yoga, healthy habits and a litany of lifestyle changes in order to get back to their peak performance. The problem happens once the condition of premature ejaculation improves and guys think they can just go back to their old habits.

So what can we learn from this in order to prevent early ejaculation from striking in the first place? Simple – most of the treatments that address an underlying case are rooted in positive lifestyle changes. If diet and fitness levels are the culprits, a change to a cleaner, whole foods and plant based diet alongside an increase in exercise can not only temper the problem when it occurs, it can also be used as a precautionary measure long before any problems crop up.

Maintaining these changes can be difficult at first, especially if it’s a big change from how men normally live or behave. But embracing these changes as long-term solutions can easily make a variety of chronic conditions a thing of the past.

Stress and anxiety is a combination that is at the core of a number of conditions – including early ejaculation. Finding a healthy way to deal with the combination usually requires a mix of active management techniques and ways in which to prevent them from building up in the first place. These solutions are as unique as the men who deal with them.

Continuing issues at work may require a variety of methods, from working more closely with management to finding products or methods to streamline work operations in order to reduce stress. Personal relationships should be addressed, even if that means dealing with an awkward situation. Simply put – stress and anxiety are difficult to address because the issues that create them are often things we’d rather not deal with. But avoiding them doesn’t really allow you to escape them – only to divert the problem until it manifests in some different way. For too many men, that means an increase in sexual performance problems.

The best offence is a good defence. It’s a truism most men know and happily apply to many different areas of their life – so why not when it comes to sexual health? By using the natural and effective treatments men choose in order to prevent early ejaculation, they can also prevent it from coming back as easily. Many times, men are happy to adhere to positive changes in order to resolve the problem but once they’re ready for a long-term solution they’ll be willing to make the sporadic change a long term commitment.
