Ejaculating too quickly: understand, play it down and find concrete solutions (from plan A to plan Z)
You're not alone.
In the boutique at Sensations Plus, it's a question that comes up often, sometimes in a low voice, sometimes with humor, but always with a small dose of embarrassment:
"I ejaculate too quickly... is there anything to help me?"
The answer is yes. And more importantly: what you're experiencing is much more common than we think.
In this article, we take a comprehensive look at natural and behavioral solutions, specialized products and medical options to help you regain your confidence and prolong the pleasure.
What exactly is premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation occurs when:
- Ejaculation occurs earlier than desired
- It often occurs within one minute of penetration
- It causes frustration, stress or personal distress
It's not a question of "performance" or "virility". It's a physiological response influenced by many factors.
Why does it happen?
Causes can be :
Psychological factors
- Stress
- Performance anxiety
- Intense excitement
- Lack of experience
- Pressure to do well
Physical factors
- Hypersensitivity of the glans
- Hormonal imbalance
- Thyroid problems
- Prostate inflammation
- Erectile dysfunction
Relationship factors
- New partner
- Difficult communication
- Fear of disappointment
The good news?
There are several solutions, and often a combination works very well.
Plan A: Natural techniques (free and effective)
The "Start & Stop" technique
- Stimulate yourself until you approach the point of no return.
- Stop completely.
- Take a breath.
- Start again.
With practice, your body learns to better control arousal.
The compression technique
When ejaculation approaches:
- Apply light pressure at the base of the glans for a few seconds.
- Wait for the urge to subside.
Kegel exercises (pelvic floor muscles)
Yes, men need to train their pelvic floor too.
How to do it:
- Contract the muscle that holds gas.
- Hold for 5 seconds.
- Release.
- Repeat 10 to 15 times, 2 to 3 times a day.
With a few weeks' practice, many men notice an improvement in control.
Deep breathing
Breathing rapidly increases arousal.
Try this:
- Inhale 4 seconds
- Exhale 6 seconds
- Keeping a slow, controlled rhythm
It can make a huge difference.
Plan B: Specialized products (in-store solutions)
At Sensations Plus, many men are looking for complementary aids.
Genital desensitizers
These are sprays or creams that slightly reduce glans sensitivity.
They generally contain :
- Lidocaine
- Benzocaine
👉 Important: Apply the right amount and respect the absorption time to avoid reducing sensation in your partner.

Cock rings (with caution)
Penis rings are mainly used to :
- Improve erection quality
- Maintain rigidity
For some men, they can help with control.
In others, they increase stimulation.
⚠️ They are not always the main solution against rapid ejaculation.
Plan C: Mental and relational approach
Sometimes the problem is less physical than mental.
Remove the pressure to perform
The more you tell yourself:
"I've got to last longer!
the more your body goes into overdrive.
Changing the goal can help:
- Focus on overall pleasure
- Extending foreplay
- Exploring other forms of stimulation
Communicating with your partner
Say:
"I'd like to work on that, I'd like us to take more time".
It takes a lot of pressure off.
Plan D: Medical consultation (yes, it can really help)
Seeing a doctor can be very helpful if:
- The problem is recent and sudden
- there's an associated erectile dysfunction
- There is pain or discomfort
- The situation is causing great distress
A professional can :
- Check hormones
- Assess the prostate
- Suggest appropriate treatment
Some prescribed medications can help delay ejaculation, but this must always be medically supervised.
Plan E: Sex therapy
A sex therapist can :
- Help manage performance anxiety
- Work on sexual patterns
- Suggest personalized exercises
For many men, a few sessions are enough to transform the situation.
Plan Z: Change the definition of pleasure
Here's an important truth:
Penetration is not the only indicator of sexual satisfaction.
Many partners value :
- foreplay
- Caressing
- Oral pleasure
- Emotional intimacy
Sometimes, the real work lies in broadening the vision of sexuality.
