How to cure PE?

Treatment for mild cases

If you only have a mild form of PE – for instance, you can last 4 minutes but would like to last 10, there's probably no point in going to a doctor.

Why? Because you should be able to improve your sex endurance by simple distraction techniques.

This means turning your mind to something else when you sense that climax is near. For example, you can think about something totally unconcerned with sex or pinch yourself.
But then again, you do NOT want to calculate your taxes during sex right?
So luckily, there are alternatives.

Local anaesthetic gel

Some men try to treat themselves with a local anaesthetic gel that's applied to the shaft of the penis shortly before intercourse.

This product is advertised to the public as a good way to 'damp down' sexual sensation in the penis.

We do not advise using this gel because the local anaesthetic can 'dull' the sex sensation for your partner too.

It can also cause an allergic skin reaction in either partner, with intense itching, redness and soreness.

Long love condoms

German scientists have come up with a slightly better approach that won't cause vaginal irritation.

It's called the 'long love condom’ and it contains a local anaesthetic (benzocaine) inside it.

These condoms are now being sold in many countries, under a variety of brand names.

A few male patients have told us they do last longer with these condoms, but the man is still at risk of a sensitivity reaction to the benzocaine.
So this is not a great solution either.
