Last Longer & Control Your Climax

Questions & Answers on Sex






control your climax
Premature ejaculation affects one third of all men around the world. When it comes to sex, men are natural sprinters; we start off with a bang (pardon the pun) and quickly fizzle out in the end. Granted, most guys do their best to stretch out their performance in bed as long as possible in order to please their loved ones, but many simply cannot last long enough to satisfy women's needs.

Men experiencing premature ejaculation are by no means selfish; it is a reality, but it can often be controlled. There are products, tricks and methods to prolong the sexual experience.

First let us look at why men experience premature ejaculation.

how ejaculation works

Men naturally climax faster than women do; it is nature's way of ensuring the survival of the species. Ejaculation occurs when the muscles on the floor of a man's pelvis constrict, releasing the sperm. Studies show that these muscles tighten earlier in men who experience premature ejaculation.

An original theory held that some men have more sensitive skin on the penis, hence giving them a more intense sexual sensation and a tendency to climax faster. A lot of men, on the other hand, are capable of going the distance. The fact that some men are fully capable of marathon sex, coupled with the observation that certain medications can delay male ejaculation, leads sexual medicine experts to believe it is a combination of concentration and perhaps a better functioning serotonin system.

preventing premature ejaculation

Timing & Awareness
Experts agree that timing and reading the body's signals are good ways to achieve longer lasting sex. Men have a tendency to let their instincts turn them into carnal zombies during sex, going from point A to Z without transition or thinking. Knowing when ejaculation is about to occur is vital to longer lasting sex. The old saying "think about something else" is a fallacy. Once you miss that peak, the game is over.

Men should not try to think about baseball, Janet Reno, or other unrelated things during sex; they should do the exact opposite by concentrating on every single feeling and signal the body is sending out during intercourse. Each man should recognize the feeling right before ejaculation. Once the feeling is identified, many tricks are available.

more methods

Squeeze Method
Most men only need to keep the aforementioned fact in mind, while others require special techniques. The squeeze method involves stopping stimulation and gently squeezing the base of the penis for about thirty seconds right before climax. It is a nice way of getting oneself accustomed to the feeling of ejaculation while stopping the orgasm right in its tracks. While often effective, it requires a temporary interruption in intercourse.

Stop & Start Technique
Stop and start resembles the squeeze method, except there is no squeezing involved. The subject simply stops stimulation before the climax. After about thirty seconds, the man resumes stimulation. Proper breathing is essential during this or any other ejaculatory control technique. This method takes practice and time to master, and also requires temporary interruptions of intercourse.

Drugs
Several existing products can increase ejaculatory control. Deferol, Anafranil, Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, etc., are either capsules or tablets that help men relax and master their timing. The latter four are prescription antidepressants and were not originally designed to control ejaculation, even though they "can" delay ejaculation. None of the prescription antidepressants have been FDA approved to treat premature ejaculation.

The FDA does not recommend using Anafranil, Paxil, Prozac or Zoloft on an "off-label basis" to increase ejaculatory control because that particular result is actually a side effect of their intended purpose. Also, a major drawback to the use of these prescription antidepressants with long half-lives (the time they stay in the body) is that they also decrease libido in approximately 40% of men.

Unlike prescription antidepressants, Deferol is a natural climax control supplement designed specifically by pharmaceutical scientists to increase men's ejaculatory control. It works partly on the same principle as the prescription drugs, but in a natural, scientifically proven and precise way without decreasing men's libido.

Deferol is most appealing to men who would like to last longer during lovemaking. In clinical studies involving an analysis of the subgroup of men with self-reported intercourse times of less than 15 minutes, one Deferol capsule taken 1 hour prior to sex showed an average 40% increase in intercourse time.

raise your confidence
David M. Ferguson, Ph.D., MD, a prominent sexual medicine researcher in Chicago, states: "there is strong scientific evidence in the medical literature that supports the Deferol formulation which, by design, utilizes the same proven pathway that prescription Serotonin Selective Re-uptake Inhibitor's (SSRI anti-depressants) use as part of its activity." Unlike the prescription drugs, Deferol focuses directly on raising levels of serotonin in the body, as well as delivering another natural anti-anxiety compound to the user. This "dual approach" enables significant improvement of ejaculatory control and helps to reduce a man's anxiety, which often contributes to premature ejaculation.

Deferol capsules can be taken 1 to 2 hours before anticipated intercourse and is available without a prescription, which is always a plus since most men are embarrassed to confide this problem to their doctors. For more information, visit www.Deferol.com.

Desensitizing Creams
Desensitizing creams reduce a man's penile sensation during intercourse and can increase ejaculatory control. Such creams allow men to maintain an erection longer and also reduce pleasure during sex. The cream is applied before intercourse and has a "numbing effect" on the penis.

finishing the race

Let's face it; men were not designed to outlast women in bed, so we need all the help we can get. Today's society views sex as a social act between two individuals. It's no longer a matter of surrendering to our primal instincts; our partners expect an element of effort and sharing, so cheating a little is understandable. Using techniques or a sexual health product like Deferol, is as natural as the desire to last longer in bed and prolong shared sexual pleasure.
