Dear service user, Thank you for writing to Healthcaremagic. I have gone through your question and understand your concerns to delay the ejaculation. There is no specific time period defined for ejaculatory delay. It greatly varies from person to person. Let me tell you that avoid sticking to time (for example 5 min, 6 min, and xxx minutes) or even number of strokes, rub etc. Focus on pleasurable sensations during erections rather than judging your performance in terms of time or strokes. Simply enjoy the feelings and touch of kindling. When clients with similar problems approach me, I recommend them a behavior exercise called start-stop technique. The man starts masturbation and stops just prior to orgasmic inevitability. He allows arousal level to decline and re-stimulates. One should continue this start-stop sequence for about 15 minutes. This is how you can gain ejaculatory control gradually. When clients with similar problems approach me, I recommend them medicines like Paroxetine 20 mg to be taken 4 hours before anticipated sex or Depoxetine 15mg 1hour prior to sex. It often helps male to delay climax. These drugs must be taken under medical supervision. Hope this will help you. Warm regards.
