What is Premature Ejaculation (PE)?
First, let's talk about an issue that concerns many people who do not last as long as they would like to during intercourse. When you ejaculate sooner than expected during sex, it is often called premature ejaculation (PE). Some guidelines define premature ejaculation as ejaculation during partnered sexual activity within approximately 1 minute following penetration. However, as individual results may vary, let us assume that PE means ejaculating sooner than you desire.
PE can be the result of psychological or physical issues, or a combination of both. From one report, it is said that PE affects up to 30% of the male population and is considered the most common sexual disorder in men. If the issue is psychological, such as past trauma or abuse, it is best to seek the counsel of a professional in treating the issue. In this article, we will be focusing more on some of the physical aspects and what you can do to help aid in lasting longer during sex.
Masturbation

Masturbation can help you build control and gain confidence over your performance with your partner. And using a sex toy like a TENGA masturbator can make the experience feel closer to actual physical penetration. With masturbation, you have control over the speed and intensity of your stimulation, and it allows you to practice lasting longer during sex when used in conjunction with edging, which is explained in the next section.
TENGA has a brand of items which does offer training in the aid of premature ejaculation. The THC (TENGA Healthcare) Line is available to ship to most countries at this site. You can also find some excellent tools to help you with your situation on our TENGA site.
Edging
Along with regular masturbation, edging may help in lasting longer before ejaculation. Edging refers to the practice of intentionally bringing yourself almost to the point of orgasm, but then pausing or slowing down stimulation before going over the edge. This can be done repeatedly in one session, and teaches you how to stop yourself from climaxing. Edging can be performed in solo or partnered sexual activity. We talk a little more about it in this previous blog.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises
Another exercise that can be performed along with masturbation is the strengthening of your pelvic floor muscles to help relieve the urge to ejaculate. The pelvic floor muscles are hammock-like muscles attached to the bottom of the pelvis and support the internal organs, help with posture, and urination control. In addition, the pelvic floor muscles are also involved in sexual functions, such as erections and controlling ejaculation. We have discussed performing Kegel exercises to support and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in previous blogs. Think of the muscles you would use to stop urinating midstream or the muscles used to stop passing gas. Kegel exercises are similar to this, and will become stronger with repeated practice.
Masturbation, in conjunction with edging and strengthening your pelvic floor muscles, can be of benefit in lasting longer during sex.
Partnered Masturbation
Sharing is not only caring, but it can also be very stimulating and exciting! Although the following suggestions may not help you last longer during sex, it may potentially make the sexual experience more enjoyable, satisfying, and significant for you and your partner, regardless of how long you are able to last during sex.
As we have mentioned before, masturbating with your partner can be a way to really get to know your partner's hot spots, what turns them on, how slow or how fast you should go, and perhaps even discover more about you and your partner that even words cannot express. You are sharing with your partner some of your most intimate secrets concerning pleasure and that's something that will benefit your sex life as well as your relationship. And with the training you have been doing, think of the pleasure you can give your partner while climaxing together!
