How Can a Man Last Longer in Bed?

Help Me Premature Ejaculation Man! - I'm Coming!

How long do you spend in the bedroom with your partner ‘warming up’, and how much time do you spend on the finishing act? Do you think you clock above average when it comes to time doing the… as Quagmire would say “Gigidy gigidy gigidy oohh yeah”

The average amount of time spent on sex varies greatly depending on many factors. These factors range from what country you live in to whether or not foreplay is included in the definition of sex. It is therefore difficult to find credible sources that agree on this average statistic (some quote the time to be 3-10 minutes, while others testify that it’s 15 minutes to an hour). However finding consensus on foreplay time is much easier. The statistics agree that the average time spent on foreplay in North America is 19.7 minutes, with the UK topping the list with an average of 22.5 minutes.

So why spend so much time on foreplay? Well, for women especially, longer foreplay generally leads to better sex. Our brains are our largest sex organ, so taking the time to warm up our brains and our bodies can create a far more pleasurable experience. Foreplay not only increases lubrication and boosts the chances of a woman reaching orgasm, but it also gives biology (our hormones) time to catch up with our activity.

So how can you extend foreplay and still last longer in bed? Men, follow along closely, as these tips are for you.

Its important for all men to keep up with their Kegel exercises. To do your Kegels, simply squeeze the muscles you would use to stop the flow of urine, and then release. Twenty-five sets of these per day is ideal. Also regular masturbation is important because if a man hasn’t ejaculated recently, his chances of staying erect without ejaculation, drastically decreases.

You can also practice the ‘squeeze technique’ – while masturbating or during intercourse – this involves becoming stimulated up until the point of ejaculatory inevitability (point of no return) and then pressing firmly on the frenulum with two fingers until that feeling dissipates (the frenulum is a Y shaped connecting membrane on the underside of the penis connecting the head and the shaft). You can then continue to have sex or masturbate until the feeling of ejaculatory inevitability resurfaces, at which time you can continue practising the ‘squeeze technique’ and continue the cycle. This can be done alone or with a partner.

So gentleman….. when you hear the saying “Practise Makes Perfect”, remind yourself that it applies to many things. Good luck!

Teaching an Inexperienced Lover

Giving out sex advice on Robson Street, Vancouver.

Sometimes we dive into a new relationship and the sexual chemisty just isn’t there. We are bumping teeth, squishing tender body parts and creating a horizontal tango that looks more like the chicken dance then a sensual flow. Sometimes this leads one – or both partners – to question their new relationship pick and start looking elsewhere, especially if one of them has become confinced that the problem lies within the other inexperienced lover, instead of between the two of them.

My advice? We often waste a lot of time looking for the perfect lover instead of creating the perfect lover. Yes, teaching a new and relatively inexperienced partner can be difficult, however there are a couple subtle but very effective techniques to help your partner become better in bed.

The first tip is often referred to as ‘the sandwich technique’ (I know your mind is drifting off to threesome land but snap back for a second…. its not that kind of sandwich). Lets say your new partner is a gentleman that doesn’t vary his speed very often during sex, so he is constantly doing the ‘jack-rabbit’. To help teach him what you’d really like, you simply employ this sandwich method. This means you begin with something positive (e.g, I want to tell you that you feel amazing inside of me) then say something that needs ‘fixing’ while trying not to use the word ‘but’ (So, you know what I would really love? For you to go nice and slow sometimes so I can really feel every inch of you) and then end with something positive (Because you are so incredible I just want to soak up every bit of you). This is called a sandwich because you put something negative (or needs fixing) inside two positive things.

Tip number two is all about body language. We learn by watching…. monkey see monkey do. If you want a gentle touch, be gentle with your partner. If you want your woman to pull your hair and then sink her teeth into you, do so to her. Even the slowest learner will catch on eventually and start taking notes from your technique.

One of the most common issues faced in the bedroom when dealing with inexperienced male partners, is premature ejaculation (and I use that term loosly). There are a number of ways that you can counter this. One of the most useful things that he can do to deal with this issue is to masturbate as often as possible because if he hasn’t ejaculated recently, then the chances of him holding out and not ejaculating quickly when he gets into bed with you, will decrease dramatically.

Now I know what you’re thinking, what about those of us who would rather not talk about it openly (as many women are too embarrassed to say, “Can you masturbate before you come over and hang out?”) In this case, a simple ‘warm-up round’ is crucial…. this gets the first ejaculation over quickly. If you are becoming intimate with a man, sometimes helping him ejaculate rapidly the first time around, can lead to a prolonged second round. And while he is waiting for his second erection, it’s your turn to enjoy some foreplay. Also, using a lubricant or condom that has a numbing quality (which is available in drugstores everywhere) can do wonders for prolonged play time.
