What causes premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is the name given when a man ejaculates either before, or a very short time after, entering the vagina.

It’s a major concern for many blokes, with 30 per cent of lads reporting to have been affected by the condition last year.

According to the NHS, a number of psychological and physical factors can cause premature ejaculation.

Physical reasons include prostate problems, thyroid problems and recreational drugs.

Meanwhile psychological problems include depression, stress, relationship problems or anxiety about sexual performance.

A study has shown that the size of a man’s stomach may well be a better indicator of how long he can keep it going in the sack.

The research comes from scientists at Erciyes University in Turkey, who now believe that larger men make better lovers because they’ve got more sexual stamina.

The researchers studied 200 men; comparing their body mass index (BMI) to their sexual performance.

Interestingly, the result showed that fatter men with bigger bellies lasted longer in bed then their svelte counterparts.

In fact, men with visible belly fat and a higher BMI could get down to it for an average 7.3 minutes, while slimmer men lasted an average of 1.8 minutes in the sack and were more likely to suffer from premature ejaculation.

The scientists thought that the reason behind larger lads lasting longer is that they have higher levels of the female sex hormone oestradiol, which may disrupt the body’s chemical balance and inhibits them from climaxing for longer.

How can you treat premature ejaculation?

There are a number of things you can do before seeking professional help.

According to the NHS, it can sometimes help to:

  • masturbate an hour or two before having sex
  • use a thick condom to help decrease the sensation
  • take a deep breath to briefly shut down the ejaculatory reflex (an automatic reflex of the body during which ejaculation occurs)
  • have sex with your partner on top (to allow them to pull away when you are close to ejaculating)
  • take breaks during sex and think about something boring

If you do require treatment, this can be in the form of behavioural techniques, topical anaesthetics, counselling or medication.

A doctor may order blood tests to check the levels of testosterone, and you may be referred to a urologist or sexual dysfunction specialist.

How to make sex last longer?

Ian Kerner became a sex therapist after curing himself of his problem, and went on to write a book about pleasing women in bed, titled ‘She Comes First’.

Here are Ian’s three methods for mastering longer sex-sessions.

Master the mini-orgasm

In an article for Men’s Health, Ian explains that men should “practice masturbating nearly to the point of ejaculation, and then stop”.

He adds that guys will be able to tell they’ve reached the mini-orgasm phase because they will experience one or two small pelvic contractions – but won’t fully ejaculate.

Once familiar with this method, it’s time to use it during sex to ease the tension mid-bonk – allowing you to last longer without ejaculating.

Make your penis a sex toy

Ian reckons that perpendicular sex positions, that allow guys to stimulate a woman’s clitoris without penetration, are favourable.

He said: “As you each lie on your side facing each other, create a 90-degree angle between your shaft and her vulva.

“Instead of penetrating, press your shaft lengthwise against her clitoris and gently move it back and forth.”

Try using a numbing spray

If all else fails, try purchasing a numbing spray – these delay ejaculation and can increase bedroom lasting power by up to two minutes.

One study even found that men could for as long as 11 minutes after a few sprays.

Supporting Ukraine Through Purchasing Power: The Initiatives Keeping the Country’s Economy Afloat 0 173

Amidst the Russian invasion, Ukrainian creatives are launching initiatives to keep the country’s economy going by harnessing consumer power. Spend With Ukraine is one such online resource that connects consumers to Ukraine-based businesses across various industries, while the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund allows for donations to support artists. Co-founder of Spend With Ukraine, Andrey Klen, emphasizes the importance of supporting the Ukrainian economy through purchasing decisions. He states, “Armies win battles, but economies win wars.”

Ukrainian brands are still operating and many are donating a portion of their sales to different needs to support the country. To sustain interest in supporting Ukraine through spending, increasing the visibility of these initiatives is key. As Klen says, “We want it to blow out.” These efforts not only help Ukrainian creatives but also support existing industries and provide a sense of normality in these difficult times.

Ensuring Safety and Consent in the Adult Film Industry: A Vital Discussion 0 258

Alice Trout

One topic that may be of interest to readers in the adult film industry is the topic of workplace safety and consent.

The adult film industry, like any other industry, has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its workers. This includes providing a safe working environment, protecting workers from physical and emotional harm, and ensuring that all acts are consensual. However, the nature of the adult film industry can make it difficult to ensure that these standards are met. Actors and actresses may feel pressure to perform acts that they are not comfortable with, and there have been instances of abuse and exploitation in the industry.

To address these issues, it is essential for the industry to have clear guidelines and policies in place to protect the rights and safety of workers. This includes providing education and resources for performers, implementing strict consent protocols, and holding producers and directors accountable for ensuring a safe working environment.

Another important aspect of this topic is the importance of consent in adult film. Consent is a crucial aspect of any sexual encounter and must be obtained freely, enthusiastically, and without coercion. In the adult film industry, where performers are engaging in sexual acts on camera, it is especially important that consent is explicitly obtained and respected. This can be achieved through the use of consent forms and communication between performers before and during filming.

By discussing these topics, the industry can work towards creating a safer and more respectful environment for all performers and ensure that the rights and well-being of workers are protected.
