Squeeze technique

Squeeze technique – Masters and Johnson technique

When you are sexually excited and having an erect penis, squeeze the tip of the penis where the skin joins with the tip of the penis (frenulum). Use thumb to squeeze the frenulum against your index finger. The squeeze has to firm but not too painful and should last for only 10-15 seconds. For this technique to work, you should be able to feel the approaching of the point of inevitability. When you are about to reach the point of inevitability, you or your partner can squeeze and then start again.

Stop-start technique – Seman’s manoeuvre

A simple training procedure is to stimulate your penis (either yourself or by your partner) but stop stimulation before you reach the point of inevitability (i.e the point beyond which you can’t control ejaculation). Then rest for 30 to 60 seconds and then start stimulating your penis again stopping short of point of inevitability. You should repeat this cycle of stimulation- rest- further stimulation five or six times before allowing yourself to ejaculate every time you masturbate on your own or have sex with a partner. There are three stages - dry hand, wet hand and vaginal intercourse/penetration.

Note: the above techniques are simple to read but may not be easy to practice and don’t try once or twice and claim that it is not working. For the first few times, you may do it exactly as what is said and that is fine. It is an exercise that has to be learned from repeated practice and your own mistakes.

3. Masturbation

Masturbation can be a good exercise to focus on how your body feels and what your mind does. Also, there is no pressure of a partner. You can learn the above techniques (start-stop and squeeze) by masturbating yourself instead of sexual intercourse. This is an excellent opportunity to learn, make errors and practice your mind before you have sexual intercourse with another person. If your partner is co-operative, then it is even better to involve your partner (if applicable) in this exercise.
