Often, there are different ways to stop premature ejaculation. For techniques like the stop-start method to work, sexual action must be stopped when it's getting close to climax and resumed when the level of desire drops. To lower excitement, the squeeze method includes putting pressure on the base of the penis. Talking to your partner about your tastes and pacing can also help you stop ejaculating too soon. Deep breathing or practicing awareness are two ways to relax that can help lower stress and performance pressure. A healthy diet and regular exercise can help your sexual performance in general. Going to therapy or counseling may help with the underlying mental issues that cause you to ejaculate too soon. To prevent ejaculation, some people may be given drugs like SSRIs or external anesthetics. It's important to talk to a medical worker to figure out the best way to handle your specific situation.
