Early ejaculation is the most common complaint men have when it comes to their performance. Most, if not all, men will experience an episode of premature ejaculation at
least once in their lives and for some men, the problem becomes chronic. For these men, the chronic nature of the condition feeds into a viscous and self-sustaining loop that makes the condition even harder to treat. It can be easy for men to feel overwhelmed and isolated. This can make conditions like depression and anxiety worse which, ironically, feeds back into the cycle of early ejaculation. There are ways, however, to use premature ejaculation as a force for positive change. Approaching the issue in this way can help men maintain a more positive outlook when it comes to treatment which can easily make the difference between a successful treatment and one that drags him down.

Turn It Into Good Health

In many cases, physical fitness plays a role in premature ejaculation. Making changes to your diet and exercise routine isn’t easy but framing those changes as a way to improve your sex life can be a powerful form of motivation. Adopting healthier eating habits and increasing exercise are often the first recommendation doctors make when men come to them for help with early ejaculation. Get ahead of the game by taking that first, proactive step. As with any major change to your diet, be sure to talk to your doctor about how it could interact with other conditions. This is especially important for men with a history of diabetes, heart conditions or other issues which are directly impacted by their weight.

Use it to Talk to Your Partner

Stress and anxiety play a big role in premature ejaculation and the best way to alleviate both is to open up about them to someone you trust. Talking to your partner about your sexual performance is bound to be a bit awkward, especially at first. Working through that initial discomfort brings big rewards, though. Talking to your partner and sharing the stress you feel can be an effective treatment for premature ejaculation and it also makes it easier for her to be an active participant in different treatment options. By bringing her into the conversation she can help be supportive in every area of your treatment, especially if you want to pursue natural options such as nutrition changes and an increase or difference exercise routine. It can also be an important part of non-traditional (and much more fun) forms of treatment – including sex.

Let it Inspire Sexual Creativity

One alternative and effective treatment for early ejaculation is sex therapy. Sex therapy includes techniques for masturbation and sexual play between partners. It includes different positions that help to lessen stimulation for men to prevent them from climaxing too quickly. The most common position to prevent over-stimulation is doggy style. Other sexual therapy techniques include stop and start masturbation, sometimes also called edging. This is when men stimulate themselves sexually but without going so far as to cause an orgasm. Needless to say this can be difficult at first and so it’s something that is easier to work on with a partner. That way she can change positions and essentially distract you, preventing you from climaxing before you’re both ready.

Treating premature ejaculation isn’t easy and often takes quite a while. But that doesn’t mean it has to be a negative experience or something that men simply have to endure. Framing it in a more positive light will improve your attitude about the problem – and the potential treatments. This can make it easier to stick with new, healthier habits and gives you the chance to see the condition as a force for positive change.
