What is a good way to stop premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is a common sexual problem that affects men of all ages. It can be embarrassing and frustrating, and can create problems in relationships. There are a number of things you can do to try to stop premature ejaculation, including:

* Start-stop practice. This involves stimulating yourself until you are almost to the point of ejaculating, but then stop and wait. Repeat this several times, gradually increasing the amount of time you wait before ejaculating.

* Squeeze technique. This involves squeezing the head of your penis firmly between your fingers for several seconds when you feel yourself about to ejaculate. This can help desensitize your penis and prevent ejaculation.

* Distraction techniques. Think about something else, like a sports game or imaginary scenery.

* Use a condom. Condoms can help reduce sensation in your penis, which can help delay ejaculation.

* Talk to your doctor. There may be an underlying medical cause, such as anxiety, depression, or low serotonin levels, which can delay ejaculation.

There are also a number of medications that can be used to treat premature ejaculation, including:

* Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine (Prozac) and paroxetine (Paxil)

* Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5 inhibitors), such as sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra), and tadalafil (Cialis)

* Prilocaine. A numbing cream or spray can be applied to your penis to reduce sensitivity and help delay ejaculation.

* Duloxetine (Cymbalta). This is a medication used to treat depression and anxiety. It can also be effective for treating premature ejaculation.

It is important to talk to your doctor before trying any medication. There may be serious side effects, such as decreased sexual desire and erection difficulties.
