Even though articles about preventing early ejaculation would make you think every man knows what it’s like to experience the problem, the truth is there are plenty of guys who have never experienced it. For these men, prevention is key. If you can maintain a lifestyle that simply doesn’t give early ejaculation the chance to get a foothold, you improve your chances of never having to deal with this vexing condition. These preventative measures also serve as a way to keep the condition at bay for men who have already dealt with it once or twice and who do not want it to make a comeback.
Eat a Clean Diet
The idea of you are what you eat may be a bit of cliché but it’s still true. When you feed your body processed foods full of fats, sugars and salt then you’re going to have all kinds of problems. As a matter of fact, if you’re only experiencing problems with sexual performance you should actually count yourself lucky. That issue aide, a poor diet truly does impact how well you can perform in bed and how much you are able to even enjoy sex in general. Forget the fast food options and instead go for healthy, whole food meals. Turn it into a bit of foreplay by cooking something sexy together. Some pasta, a healthy marinara sauce and some red wine can easily become the precursor to a sensual and delicious night.
Hit the Gym … And Beyond
Staying in shape will do a lot more than just help you look better naked. It can also improve flexibility, stamina and even creativity. Hitting the gym is a great start but don’t let it end there. Get outside and work up some sweat in the sunshine to give yourself the added boost of improved Vitamin D production. It can help to improve your mood which keeps you motivated and on track with a healthy, active lifestyle.
Learn New Moves
As with anything else you want to master, practice makes perfect. This is true when it comes to honing a new skill and true when it comes to improving your sexual technique. Learning about new techniques and positions gives you greater variety when it comes to ways to enjoy sex and ways to prevent being over-stimulated. This can help prevent early ejaculation as you will be able to mix things up when issues outside of your control (such as increased stress) make you vulnerable to an episode.
Masturbate With Purpose
Masturbating to treat sexual performance issues is actually one of the most effective methods men use today. Focused and directed masturbation allows men to learn the subtle cues their body gives as he builds toward orgasm. When men know how close they are getting to climaxing they can change and tweak their position, speed or other factors in order to prevent early ejaculation.

Maintain Healthy Relationships
