Premature ejaculation is one of the most common sexual insecurities for men. A whole lot of us are insecure about how long we last in bed or other elements of our sexual longevity.

We’re constantly told about amazing sex that other people are having, and while this is biased (after all, who talks about their rubbish sex?), it can make us feel quite inadequate.

In this guide, we’re going to take a look at how to last longer. This guide is for cis men, though some techniques may also work for trans women.

Are you ready to learn some effective tips for lasting longer in bed? Then read on and learn how to banish your sexual insecurities!

1. Medications

When you think of Prozac, Zoloft, and other SSRIs, you probably think of mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. 

While this is their primary use, they do have other uses, including for chronic pain and, you guessed it, premature ejaculation.

Delayed ejaculation is one of the most common side effects of SSRI antidepressants, which can cause a lot of complaints for some people, but if you’re finishing too fast, it could be just the ticket.

SSRIs tend to be very safe and don’t cause any side effects in some people. In terms of sexual issues, they can sometimes make you incapable of orgasm, so it’s possible that they’ll make you last too long. 

It’s worth speaking to your doctor about, however, as they might be a good option for you.

2. Kegel Exercises

Kegels are something of an old standby, but we associate them more with women. While they’re a great way to train the pelvic floor in women, they’re fantastic for men too.

These exercises train the same muscles that you use to stop peeing mid-flow. If you train the muscle, you can use it to stop an ejaculation in the same way.

However, they can be quite hard work and you need to train them diligently to see any results. 

3. Weight Gain

Being underweight can have a big impact on how long you last. According to a study, heavier men tend to last longer than those who are more lightweight. 

However, you shouldn’t start piling on the pounds without a doctor’s guidance. The health effects of obesity can be far worse than premature ejaculation, so this is only really recommended if you’re actually underweight.

If you are underweight, you should try to gain weight in a sustainable and healthy way.

4. Desensitizers

You may have already experienced the effects of desensitizers on your penis. Some condoms come with a bit of numbing gel in the tip, which can help men to last longer.

If your premature ejaculation is a medical problem though, you probably need more desensitizer than you get in the condom.

One option, called Roman Swipes, use benzocaine to numb your penis, reducing sensation. If you want to find out more about whether this is a solid treatment option for you, you may want to speak to a pharmacist and make sure it won’t interact with anything else you’re taking.

If you can use benzocaine, you’ll probably find that it’s an effective way to last longer, and over time, you may find that you start to feel a lot more confident about your sexual abilities.

5. Consider Seeing a Therapist

Premature ejaculation can have some underlying psychological causes. Studies have shown that anxiety is linked to premature ejaculation, and it can cause anxiety too, which may make the problem worse.

If you’re stuck in this cycle, seeing a therapist is a very good solution, as it can help to solve the underlying issues, rather than treating the symptoms.

It can be difficult to discern whether your problem is linked to your mental health, as it certainly isn’t always the case. Are you anxious or depressed about it? If you are, it may well be contributing to the issue.

6. Practicing With Yourself

If you find that you finish too fast when you masturbate too, you may be able to make use of this technique. It’s called “pause and squeeze” or “stop and go” and it involves, essentially, edging yourself.

You should masturbate until you feel like you’re about to orgasm, then stop, squeezing the head of your penis (gently, mind you). When you feel the feeling pass, you can get back to masturbating.

This technique can also work while you’re having sex. 

This technique requires a lot of self-discipline, as you may imagine, but it’s a solid way to build up your ability to delay ejaculation.

7. Limit Thrusts

Some men have sex like rabbits, just hammering away. If that’s what you enjoy, there’s no judgment on our part, but it’s not the best way to last a long time.

If you’re trying to last longer, you should try some other techniques, and slow your thrusts down. Sex isn’t a race. Take your time and enjoy the full experience. 

8. Masturbate Before You Have Sex

Sometimes, if you’re particularly horny, the sensation of sex can just be too much. If you find that this happens, you may be helped by masturbating before you have sex. 

This reduces your libido somewhat and makes your penis that much less sensitive, which can help you last longer during the real thing.

What if I told you that you could easily elevate your appearance and boost your confidence, and all it took was a few minutes each week?

It’s possible, with some easy-to-follow grooming tricks. These are the same tips and tricks regular guys use to turn themselves into stylish men and present the best version of themselves. 

Here are 5 essential grooming tips every man should know. 

1. Skip the Hot Shower

If you’re used to a hot shower, this may be a big adjustment, but you need to skip hot showers. Hot water is more irritating to the skin and can dry it out. 

You don’t have to take an icy cold shower. Just turn the temperature down from hot to warm. It’s an adjustment, but it’s an adjustment worth making for better skin.

2. Wash Your Hair Less Often

Washing your hair too frequently can strip your scalp of oil, drying it out. Shampoo can also dry out your scalp.

Instead of shampooing every day, try every 2-3 days. That should keep your hair from drying out too much from overwashing, but prevent it from becoming oily from not being washed.

3. Trim Your Hair

Shave regularly, in the direction of your hair’s growth. If you have a beard, invest in a good beard trimmer and take a few minutes every week to trim your beard and keep it tidy.

Don’t just trim your facial hair. Your shoulders and back need trimming too. These areas can be hard to reach with a regular razor. 

Check out this page for an example of a razor with a long reach, perfect for getting to hard-to-reach areas like the back.

4. Wear Sunscreen

Wearing sunscreen can reduce your risk of skin cancer. That’s obviously a major benefit in the health department.

But wearing sunscreen also prevents the sun from aging your skin and reduces wrinkles. So not only will wearing sunscreen reduce your risk of cancer, it will help you age better. 

Try to wear at least SPF 30 sunscreen. Reapply it every couple of hours you are outside. 

The effects of skin damage caused by the sun aren’t obvious at first, but over a lifetime you can protect your skin.

5. Get Better Sleep

You can eliminate dark circles under your eyes by sleeping better. That’s it, it’s that simple. 

The actual amount of sleep you need will vary from person to person. Try to aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night. 

Don’t just get enough sleep, aim for quality sleep too. It’s possible to get enough sleep but still feel tired because your sleep hygiene is poor.

Stick to the same sleep schedule each day (weekends included). Minimize the use of electronics before bed, and don’t consume caffeine or alcohol before bed.
