Extending the duration of sex is a common concern, especially when sex becomes too brief or routine. Extending sexual activity not only enhances pleasure but also improves intimacy and satisfaction for both partners. Below are several methods that may help extend the duration of sex:
1. Breath Control
• Method: Deep breathing helps relax the body and prevents premature ejaculation due to excessive excitement or anxiety. Try to maintain slow, deep breaths during intercourse, which can help you stay calm and extend the sexual experience.
• Effect: Slows down arousal, helps control the rhythm, and prolongs the sexual experience.
2. "StopStart" Technique
• Method: When you feel you are about to ejaculate, stop all movement and apply gentle pressure to the base of the penis (near the root). This can help relieve the sensation of impending ejaculation and prolong sexual activity.
• Effect: Delays ejaculation and increases control over arousal.
3. Kegel Exercises
• Method: Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles (the muscles that control urination), which can improve control during sexual activity. To do Kegels, contract and relax these muscles, holding each contraction for 5 seconds and then relaxing for 5 seconds. Repeat 1015 times, once or twice a day.
• Effect: Helps men delay ejaculation and enhances control over sexual performance.
4. Reduce Overstimulation
• Method: Avoid excessive foreplay or masturbation before sex, as too much stimulation can lead to premature ejaculation. A balanced level of arousal helps increase stamina during sex.
• Effect: By managing stimulation, you maintain the right level of excitement, which can prolong the sexual experience.
5. Use of Delay Sprays or Condoms
• Method: There are delay sprays or condoms available that contain mild numbing agents, which can reduce sensitivity and extend the duration of intercourse.
• Effect: Reduces penile sensitivity, delaying ejaculation and extending sexual activity.
6. Change Positions
• Method: Changing sexual positions can help slow things down. For example, switching to a slower, more comfortable position can reduce friction and delay ejaculation.
• Effect: Altering positions helps slow down the pace and prolongs the sexual experience.
7. Mental Control and Distraction
• Method: If you feel you&39;re about to ejaculate, try to distract yourself by shifting your focus, breathing deeply, or taking a brief pause. Mental control can help delay orgasm.
• Effect: By redirecting focus or relaxing, you can reduce arousal concentration and extend the duration of sex.
8. Improve Stamina Through Exercise
• Method: Regular exercise, such as cardio (running, swimming) and strength training, helps improve overall fitness and stamina, which in turn enhances sexual performance. A strong body can endure longer sexual sessions.
• Effect: Improves physical stamina and endurance, reducing fatigue and extending the duration of sex.
9. Stay Calm and Avoid Anxiety
• Method: Sexual anxiety is a common cause of premature ejaculation. Staying calm and avoiding anxiety helps you maintain control and extend sexual activity.
• Effect: Relaxation and stress reduction help improve performance and prolong sexual encounters.
10. Medication
• Method: If you are struggling with premature ejaculation or very short durations, a doctor may recommend medications such as SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or topical numbing agents to delay ejaculation.
• Effect: Medications can be effective in extending the duration of sex, but should only be used under medical supervision.
