If you have suffered from premature ejaculation then you may already have realized that the "treatment" process is a long and complicated one with ups and downs along the way.
You may already have tried creams, lotions and potions, pills, exercises and everything else in between.
Some of these may have showed signs of working and some of them may have been absolutely pointless.
There are many things that you can try however and you do need to remember that what does or does not work for one male may not always have the same effects on you.
One of the things that has proved to be a useful tool to so many men that want to overcome premature ejaculation are creams.
These usually contain some kind of anesthetic which can help to numb some of the sensations to the penis and therefore help to ensure that you last longer in bed.
There are also condoms that contain the same anesthetic properties but one thing that has been noted as a rather negative side effect of both of these things is the fact that the creams can desensitize the female at the same time as the male and even with the condoms with the cream inside, it can leak out and have the same effect.
This doesn't always happen but there is a chance of it happening and it really defies the point as the female will still no get the sexual relief that she needs.
Another of the methods that has been reported to work for being able to overcome premature ejaculation is exercises such as the stop-start method.
This is basically stopping yourself from ejaculating when you feel the urge by stopping what you are doing and returning to the activity when the urge has subsided.
This can work for a lot of people but it can be very frustrating for the other party as they may reach the point of climax at the same time as you do and therefore you stopping to let the urge calm down will mean that they will need to do the same thing.
This is also a technique that will take precise timing in order for it to work.
One wrong move or a second too late and it will be too late to stop what you are doing so this will take some practice.
Another of the ways that you can overcome premature ejaculation is to incorporate your partner to help you in your quest.
The most basic way to put this is to say that they will need to use two fingers on one side of the penis, just under the head and also a thumb on the other and to squeeze when the urge occurs.
This again takes a lot of practice as timing is key and there is a knack for getting the precise handhold right without causing pain or discomfort to the male.
There are plenty of ways in which you can try to overcome premature ejaculation and although there are both advantages and disadvantages for each, it pays to make your way through them one by one to see which one of them will work the best for you.
