Premature Ejaculation Treatments Compared

Let's face it - sexual problems are stressful. You want to share intimate moments with your lover, but you can't. We've compared the most popular premature ejaculation treatments, so you can make the best choice for you and your partner.

What’s Premature Ejaculation

Lots of men struggle in bed because they climax too soon. But does it always mean they have premature ejaculation? Not necessarily. If you ejaculate quickly from time to time, it's normal. We all have bad days and some stress. And if you have a new sexual partner, it's understandable that you’re very excited and can't control your arousal.

But if you climax sooner than you or your partner would wish nearly every time you have intercourse, you may have premature ejaculation. Experts explain that ejaculating within one or two minutes from the start of penetration usually qualifies as PE.

Which Premature Ejaculation Treatment to Choose?

If you have premature ejaculation, you're not alone. One in three men will have the same problem at some point in their life. This is a complex condition and treatment will depend on the causes. Sometimes you will need a combination of physical and psychological solutions to last longer in bed.

Here are the pros and cons of popular premature ejaculation treatments:

Numbing Gels, Creams, Wipes, and Sprays

Numbing products are the most common choice for men who want better climax control. Part of their popularity comes from heavy advertising. They work by reducing sensations on the penis.

Pros:

• They are affordable and available over the counter.

Cons:

• They reduce your and your partner's sexual pleasure.
• Some products can get messy.
• They can cause genital irritation.
• They take at least 20 minutes to take effect, which leads to less sexual spontaneity.

Antidepressant Medication

This is an option for men who struggle with severe PE and other methods don't work for them. Experts don’t fully understand how antidepressants help control ejaculation. For one, they improve your mood and confidence, but also there is a link between serotonin and ejaculation control.

Pros:

• If you already have psychological problems, such as depression or anxiety, it's a win-win solution.

Cons:

• Antidepressants can cause side effects, such as nausea, headaches, dizziness and even loss of libido.
• Drinking alcohol is not advised when you’re taking most antidepressants.
• Takes at least 90 minutes to take effect, which lead to less sexual spontaneity.

Painkiller Medication

Some men achieve ejaculation control when taking strong opioid painkillers. This is called off-label use of medication and is not a recommended option and There is a risk of side effects and even dependency.

Sex Toys

Some men use erotic gadgets to last longer in bed. The most popular option is a penis ring which restricts blood flow and numbs sensations. Penis sleeve is another way to give your partner more pleasure and hold off your climax for longer.

Pros:

• These gadgets are not expensive and in most cases reusable.
• You can reach for them as needed.
• They can give your partner more sensation (a penis sleeve can have special ridges or bumps for more stimulation).

Cons:

• They numb your pleasure.
• With penis rings there is a risk to your health if you keep one on for too long.
• You have to be open to discuss using toys with your partner.

Sexual Techniques

Some men try to prolong intercourse with sexual techniques, such as the squeeze, or start-stop approach. These methods require a great deal of self-control. You must recognize the point of no return (that moment when you feel like you’re getting close to orgasm), and then squeeze the penis or stop any movement, waiting for arousal to subside.

Pros:

• They don't cost you anything but patience.
• They help you learn more about your body.

Cons:

• The need to stop sexual activity can be frustrating and spoil the fun for your partner.
• You must talk to your lover about premature ejaculation, as these methods only work if you cooperate.
