Lasting longer can lead to better sex

No man wants to be known as “quick on the trigger” while in bed, so lasting longer during intercourse is a big goal for many men. While this isn’t exactly a penile health issue in the way that, say, penile odor can be, it can still be a major concern. For those for whom “better sex” means “lasting longer after penetration,” the following may be of some help.

It’s natural – kind of

So the fact of the matter is that it seems that men tend to have an orgasm before their partners is a natural thing. Studies have shown that on average a man will ejaculate about 6 minutes after first penetrating the vagina. In contrast, the typical woman requires about 13 minutes, and very often she needs more than intercourse to reach orgasm.

So how can a man last longer and have better sex when nature stacks the odds against him? It’s a challenge, but you can try the following:

– Use the lubricant. Many couples are hesitant to use anything other than the body’s natural lubricants when having sex; it often seems like a matter of pride to some. But when additional lube is used on a bare penis, it can help reduce friction, not enough to prevent the penis from getting tones of pleasure, but enough to maybe help lengthen the amount of time between the penetration and ejaculation.

– Put on your clothes. Using a condom, even in a fully monogamous relationship, can also be a way to last longer. The thin layer of latex again decreases friction a bit, making it more likely that a man will be able to withstand the urge to ejaculate a little longer. It is even better if a couple chooses condoms that have special features, such as being ribbed, to more easily stimulate the woman and possibly reduce the time it takes for her to reach orgasm. Some couples may want to go a step further and explore the use of a penis sheath, a hollow, penis-shaped tube that slips over the penis. This adds a bit of girth (and sometimes length) to the penis, which some women find pleasurable. It may also have ribs or grooves to create additional stimulation.

– Extend foreplay. Perhaps the most important path to better sex in this circumstance is to take plenty of time to “warm up” the female partner. Instead of rushing into penetration, the couple should allow the man to take things slow and unhurried with foreplay, lots of kissing and cuddling, manually massaging the vagina and breasts, and performing oral sex, as well as concentrating on any another specific erogenous zone that a woman likes to be attended to.

– Interrupt as needed. Another option is to simply have the man withdraw from the vagina if he feels he is about to ejaculate and continue to attend to his partner manually or orally. Once he has “cooled down” a bit, he can reinsert the penis. This can happen multiple times during a session if necessary.

– Change positions. Different positions can be more or less stimulating for a man or a woman, so experiment and find out which one slows things down for the man and/or speeds things up for the woman.

Lasting longer for better sex is a little easier if there are no penile health issues to worry about, which is why men should regularly apply a top-notch penis health oil. (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil which is clinically proven to be gentle and safe for the skin). Make sure any selected oil contains L-arginine, an amino acid that helps increase nitric oxide production, allowing the blood vessels in the penis to better adapt to the increased blood flow. The oil should also include vitamin C, which is also necessary for proper blood flow and thus better maintenance of erectile function.
