Coming early? This method stops it!
If things in bed are moving faster than you'd like, the so-called start-stop method can help. It's a proven technique for better controlling your arousal—whether during solo sex or with a partner.
How it works:
As soon as you notice that you 're about to climax , stop all stimulation. Wait until your penis becomes slightly flaccid, and only then continue . Repeat this process several times within about 15 minutes .
The goal is to better sense your own arousal signals and to better assess the so-called “point of no return” – the moment from which no turning back is possible.
This method will help you:
- Improve your body awareness
- delay ejaculation
- to increase control over your desire
You can practice the start-stop technique alone or with your partner – without any pressure, but with great effect.
