Premature ejaculation can play havoc with the sex lives of many men. It refers to the event where a man ejaculates in very little time. According to studies, men take around 3 to 5 minutes to ejaculate, so if they ejaculate within 1 to 2 minutes, then it can be referred to as premature ejaculation. It can be quite distressing for a man, but there are ways to delay it. Below is a technique referred to as the squeeze technique or Masters and Johnson technique, which can help beat this condition.
Squeeze technique or Masters and Johnson Technique
The technique was pioneered by William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson a research team that carried out path-breaking research into the human sexual response and the diagnosis and treatment of sexual dysfunctions. This is how it works:
When you are sexually excited and have an erect penis, squeeze the tip of the penis where the skin joins with the tip of the penis (frenulum). Use your thumb to squeeze the frenulum against your index finger. The squeeze has to be firm but not too painful and should last for only 10-15 seconds. For this technique to work, you should be able to feel the approaching point of inevitability (i.e. the point beyond which you can t control ejaculation). Finally, when you re about to reach that point, you or your partner can squeeze the tip of the penis, which will stop you from ejaculating.
