The squeeze technique
Your andrologist may instruct you and your partner in the use of a method called the squeeze technique. This method works as follows:
Start your sexual activity as usual until you feel almost ready to ejaculate.
Instruct your partner to squeeze the end of your penis, at the point where the head (glans) joins the shaft, and maintain the squeeze for several seconds, until the urge to ejaculate passes.
After the squeeze is released, wait for about 30 seconds, then go back to foreplay. You may notice that squeezing the penis causes it to become less erect, but when sexual stimulation is resumed, it soon regains full erection.
You can repeat the squeeze process several times drung the same sexual act and can therefore ensure penetration without ejaculation
MEDICATIONS
Though certain antidepressants and topical anesthetic creams have been used to try a treat premature ejaculation, none of these drugs are specifically approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat premature ejaculation.
ANTIDEPRESSANTS
A side effect of certain antidepressants is to delay orgasm. So some men may take antidepressants to delay their ejaculation. Antidepressants have other side effects as well which may include nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness and decreased sex drive.
TOPICAL ANESTHETIC CREAMS
Local anaesthetic creams are applied to the penis and then wiped after a while once the sensation has been dulled. This may help to delay ejaculation. Some men using topical anesthetic creams report reduced sexual pleasure because of lessened sensitivity. In some cases, female partners have also experienced reduced genital sensitivity and sexual pleasure, even though the cream is wiped off before starting actual intercourse. In very rare cases lthese creams can cause an allergic reaction.
