Is premature ejaculation after penetration a serious issue?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am facing an issue where I ejaculate immediately after penetration. I have been practicing prone masturbation regularly for the past 10 years without experiencing ejaculation. I have noticed that diverting my thoughts weakens my erection, although it does aid in delaying ejaculation.

I am looking for a solution to this problem. I am not interested in taking medications unless it is necessary and does not have any side effects.

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Ejaculating quickly after penetration can be frustrating and reduce sexual satisfaction for both you and your partner. Fortunately, there are several strategies that you can try to help delay ejaculation.

One strategy that has been proven to be effective is called the stop-start technique. With this technique, you need to stop sexual stimulation as soon as you feel like you are about to climax and wait for 30 seconds to a minute until you regain control. You can repeat this process several times throughout sexual activity to help you last longer.

Another technique called the squeeze technique involves gently squeezing the base of the penis for several seconds just before ejaculation to help reduce arousal and then continuing with sexual activity.

Additionally, you can try engaging in foreplay, communicating with your partner about your preferences, and experimenting with different sexual positions or techniques. It is also important to keep in mind that your past masturbating habits may have contributed to your current situation.

I would suggest you try some cognitive-behavioral therapy or sex education to help you unlearn the habit of prone masturbation, which may contribute to the current issue of premature ejaculation. It is important to seek professional advice from your doctor or a specialist to diagnose and provide appropriate treatment if necessary. They may suggest psychological counseling, medication, or other therapies if non-drug interventions are not effective.

I hope this helps.
