Ask any man about the best way to handle sexual performance problems and he will be the first to tell you – don’t let them happen in the first place. When most men hear that they might laugh. After all, it sounds like one of those pieces of advice that’s more than just easier said than done – it sounds impossible on the face of it. How can you stop a common condition like premature ejaculation before it begins? How would you know what steps to take? Simple – by identifying the most common triggers and setting yourself up to dodge the bullet.
Keep Calm and Carry On …. In Bed
Stress is one of the most common triggers for premature ejaculation. It’s also one of the most insidious. Truthfully, stress is one of those things you can never truly get rid of. Stress can be, in many cases, actually a good thing. It reminds us about things we need to do and can keep us on track as we juggle family and work lives. But too much of anything can be bad and that is especially true when it comes to stress. So keep it in its place by finding ways to manage it effectively. From yoga and meditation to team sports and MMA classes – find what works and make it a part of your daily schedule.
Fuel Your Sex Life
You are what you eat and nutrition plays a huge role in the quality of your entire life – including your sex life. Stop filling up on greasy burgers, salty fries and other fast foods that are crammed full of salt, fat and sugar – the Holy Trinity of Bad Health. This routine of bad eating becomes something of a rut for most people – even after it begins to trigger health issues like weight gain, high blood pressure and premature ejaculation. So break the cycle and get back on track. Instead of hitting the drive thru, hit up that salad bar you always walk right past and brush up on your cooking skills to find out how you can make amazing, healthy food that is also so amazing you’ll forget it is actually good for you. There are plenty of cookbooks, cooking clubs and even food delivery services dedicated to making healthy eating easier and more accessible – make the most of them!
Get Ready for Love
Learning new positions and techniques is a great way to improve your love life and combat the start of sexual performance problems, including erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Switching up your technique or just your positions can easily help reduce stimulation enough for many men to regain control of their orgasm and build their confidence – two of the foundation building blocks needed for sexual health.
Love Thyself
Masturbating in order to perform better in bed may sound counter-intuitive at first, but controlled masturbation is an increasingly popular option for sex therapy. It focuses on controlled masturbation where men get right up to the edge of a climax and then dial things back. This gives them a better idea of the physical cues they can look for when having sex in order to change rhythm or their position in order to prevent premature ejaculation or to simply increase their overall stamina.
Get Your Freak On
Of course, all of this isn’t worth anything if you’re not getting things on fire in bed. If your sex life has cooled, take a more proactive approach to get it back on game. Your partner seems to have cooled off for you? Time to ramp up the same moves that won her over in the first place. Take a step to reignite the passion in your relationship and chances are your partner will do the same.
