Hello,

I am welcoming you to icliniq with a loving heart and with confidence that I will be able to help you with your medical issues better.

I understand your concern. I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below.

  1. Take SSRI like Escitalopram.
  2. Do not use Viagra.
  3. Practice relaxation techniques: Anxiety and stress can contribute to premature ejaculation, so practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga may help reduce anxiety and help you stay relaxed during sexual activity.
  4. Try the start-stop technique: During sexual activity, try stopping stimulation just before you feel like you are about to ejaculate, and wait for a few seconds until the urge to ejaculate subsides. Repeat this several times during sexual activity to help prolong the experience.
  5. Use the squeeze technique: During sexual activity, squeeze the base of the penis or have your partner do it for you just before you feel like you are about to ejaculate. This may help you delay ejaculation.
  6. Change positions: Experiment with different sexual positions to find what works best for you. Some positions may help you last longer during sexual activity.
  7. Use a thicker condom: A thicker condom may reduce sensitivity and help you last longer during sexual activity.
  8. Practice masturbation techniques: Masturbate regularly to help you become more aware of your body and the sensations that lead up to ejaculation. This may help you control your ejaculation during sexual activity.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
