How to delay ejaculation: 10 effective techniques

Using sex accessories is a highly effective technical strategy for improving endurance. Certain devices modify the physiological erectile response and offer better control.

A penis ring is an immediate mechanical solution. By encircling the base of the penis, the ring limits venous return without blocking arterial blood flow. This maintains a firmer erection and very slightly reduces excessive sensitivity.

The Pulse One by ONY is particularly recommended: crafted from premium silicone, it adapts to your anatomy to prolong erection and delay orgasm mechanically, without resorting to chemicals. It is a discreet tool that transforms the dynamic of intercourse, giving you precious extra minutes.

Masturbation training ("edging") is among the most widely recommended methods by sexologists. Training with a masturbator helps accustom your body to realistic sensations. A masturbator replicates the sensations of vaginal intercourse: texture, suction and even warmth. By accustoming your body to the sensations of vaginal penetration with a masturbator, you can prolong pleasure and progressively desensitise the rapid ejaculation reflex.

For this training, ONY offers high-tech tools:

This allows you to train at home on your own, with no performance pressure, so you can transfer what you've learnt to your sexual experiences.

Understanding the physiological and psychological mechanisms that govern ejaculation is the first step towards better control.

Premature ejaculation (PE) is medically defined as ejaculation occurring before or within one minute of vaginal penetration, accompanied by an inability to delay it and a sense of frustration. The notion of "rapidity" remains subjective, however, and depends on the couple's expectations.

Two types of rapid ejaculation can be distinguished:

• Primary premature ejaculation: present since the very first sexual experiences.

• Acquired premature ejaculation: occurs after a period of normal functioning, often triggered by contextual or biological factors.

The median duration of sexual intercourse (intravaginal ejaculatory latency time) statistically sits at around 5.4 minutes. If you ejaculate below this threshold but your partner is satisfied, it is not necessarily a pathological disorder.

The origin of rapid ejaculation often results from a complex combination of factors. 

Here is a comparative table of the main elements influencing the ejaculatory reflex:

These factors often interact with one another, creating a vicious cycle that maintains the condition.

There are behavioural and physical techniques validated by clinical sexology that modify the management of sexual arousal.

These techniques aim to identify the "point of no return" and to learn how to bring arousal back down.

1. The Stop-Start technique:

   • Stimulate your penis until your arousal reaches 7/10.

   • Stop all stimulation immediately.

   • Wait for your arousal to drop back down to 3 or 4.

   • Resume stimulation. Repeat this cycle 3 to 4 times before ejaculating.

2. The Squeeze technique:

   • Similar to Stop-Start, but at the moment of stopping, apply firm pressure to the frenulum of the penis (below the glans) for 10 to 20 seconds.

   • This pressure mechanically inhibits the ejaculatory reflex.

These exercises should be practised 2 to 3 times per week to see improvement within 6 to 8 weeks.

Rapid breathing and muscle tension hasten orgasm.

The brain is the primary sexual organ. Avoid thinking about "mood-killing" things, as this breaks the emotional connection.

Certain external aids offer an immediate solution to reduce hypersensitivity.

To avoid loss of sensation, ONY offers specialist accessories such as the Pulse One cockring to prolong pleasure naturally. This mechanical alternative helps you last longer without sacrificing the intensity of the experience.

The mental aspect plays a predominant role. The fear of failure activates the sympathetic nervous system, which hastens ejaculation.

Performance anxiety creates a state of hypervigilance. To break this cycle, view sexual intercourse as a shared experience rather than a performance. Relaxation and mindfulness help reduce this stress.

ONY supports men in building self-confidence and sexual fulfilment without taboo. You'll find resources to deconstruct myths around masculinity and to accept your sexual functioning so you can better master it.

If self-help techniques are not producing results or if distress becomes significant, consult:

• A doctor or urologist: to rule out physiological causes.

• A sexologist: to work on the behavioural aspects.

It is worth seeking advice if the latency time is consistently under one minute. Medication may be prescribed as a last resort, alongside therapy.
