When most people think about vibrators, they consider them as nothing more than sex toys for women. While women have certainly made the most use of vibrators, dildos and other sex toys, the fact is that these toys can be pleasurable for many men. In fact, for some men, using a vibrator could be their best bet to stopping early ejaculation in its tracks.

The Frustrating Riddle of Premature Ejaculation

Premature or early ejaculation is diagnosed when a man reaches orgasm more quickly than he’d like. While there is no hard line rule on what constitutes “too quickly” most experts agree anything less than a minute is too soon and may require some medical help in order to resolve the problem or improve function.

Since premature ejaculation can be triggered by a wide variety of issues, events and catalysts treatment can be like solving a riddle. Is it stemming from the stress at work? A fight you’re having with a friend or relative? Indulging in too many fatty dinners or maybe drinking more than you should? Maybe it’s your level of exercise, how much sleep you’re getting or any one of about a million different possibilities.

The first step most experts suggest is simply to clean up your diet and general lifestyle. Even if it turns out that the condition isn’t directly caused by diet or nutrition, getting these issues in order will give you a healthy baseline to determine the effects of future treatments. As a bonus, improving your diet and increasing physical fitness will also improve stamina and flexibility while also boosting your sex drive.

Branching Out for Treatments

Alternative treatment options for early ejaculation run the gamut from yoga and therapy to controlled masturbation and the introduction of a variety of sex toys. That’s where vibrators come into play … literally! These toys may have a history of being focused on women but they can benefit men and couples just as well.

In early 2016 the makers of We-Vibe asked around 50 men at a sex toy convention to try out a special C-shaped couples vibe to try over the course of a few months. When the study was complete, more than 70% of the subjects said they would definitely use it again. Not only did many find it enhanced their sexual pleasure, it also made it easier for them to focus on giving their partner more satisfaction as well.

Similarly shaped vibrators, such as the Prolong, have emerged as one of the newest and most innovative ways to treat premature ejaculation. The shape and intensity of these vibrators help to desensitize the penis, making it somewhat easier for men to regain and maintain control when it comes to when they have their orgasm.

Using vibrators to help treat early ejaculation is a fairly new idea and it is still gaining in popularity but several companies have developed vibrating toys with men in mind. Vibrating cock rings are pretty mainstream and have gained in popularity and use thanks to campaigns by major condom companies such as Trojan. This has helped vibrators to move from the shadows and fringe of mainstream sexual play to become increasingly popular with men and women.

There is still some stigma associated with men using vibrators but that is declining quickly. More and more couples are beginning to realise how much benefit vibrators can bring to their sex life in terms of pleasure. Now more and more men are starting to realise that these fun sex toys can also help to improve their stamina and overall performance. Using toys makes it easy and fun to focus on simply pleasuring your partner and now they can also help treat common sexual performance problems. Best of all, they are easy to find, affordably priced and lots of fun to figure out together!
