For those of us who suffer from premature ejaculation, we know just how devastating this problem can be to our elf confidence and our sexual self esteem. If you want to learn to delay ejaculation and build your sexual stamina then there are a few options available to you.

Although the problem was considered mental for a long time, more recently research discovered that there are indeed certain medical conditions that can cause it. If you have any testicular or prostate problems, then you should speak to your doctor about your sexual dysfunction. Not only can the condition itself cause it, but the medication can also be a factor.

There are 3 basic treatments that you can try out. Some treatments work better for some than for others. It all just depends on your personality and your individual condition.

1. Medications

The most popular treatment for premature ejaculation is anti depressants. These serotonin inhibitors like Prozac has the effects of delaying ejaculation and in some cases even causing men to not perform at all. You should be careful though since they are very serious drugs and should be taken only as a last resort.

2. Topical Treatments

The internet is full of them. Most adult stores carry many different products and what they all have in common is the fact that they numb your penis - avoiding over stimulation. Apart from the obvious issue of being discreet about it in front of your partner it also tends to rub off - numbing your partner and therefore making sex pretty useless.

3. Control Techniques

Since ejaculation is a reflex in your body that's controlled by the involuntary nervous system, you can learn to control it. The root cause of the problem remains mental and by practicing these control techniques you can learn to delay ejaculation. It does take time and practice though. Fortunately the upside is that this offers a permanent cure and it does not require any medication or expensive drugs.
