Premature Ejaculation” Prevalent but Poorly understood- Part 8

Condoms

Wearing ultra thick condoms has also been suggested as a remedy for premature ejaculation. The condom reduces the sensitivity of the penis and prevents rapid arousal. Some claim that wearing two condoms may be required at times to decrease the penile sensitivity. Condom use also protects against STDs. However, many individuals do claim that frequently they ejaculate while trying to get the condom on.

Sexual positions

Some sexologists maintain that the entire problem can be solved by changing the position for sex. It is said that the "missionary" position (man on top of the female) is not the best position while attempting to control ejaculation. One should reverse the position by letting the female be on top. Everyone agrees that ejaculation is delayed in this position, but females claim that they have a difficult reaching orgasm in this position. So alternating the position and squeezing the tip of the penis may be part of the answer.

Hypnosis

Some individuals indicate that hypnosis has been helpful in the treatment of premature ejaculation. However all these data are anecdotal and have no scientific basis. As to how hypnosis prevents premature ejaculation remains a mystery. Some claim that in the lethargic or sedated state they are no longer able to have an erection nor have any sexual desire. I always believed hypnosis was to induce sleep and not stimulate sex! In any case, hypnosis is not a recommended therapy today.
