During Sexual Intercourse

Begin stimulating the penis either manually or during intercourse. Continue doing this until you feel you are nearing an orgasm.

Resume penile stimulation 30 seconds after releasing the penis. Mayo Clinic points out that the penis may not be fully erect after the squeeze was applied but stimulation should continue anyway.

Repeat the steps again when you feel that you are about to ejaculate. With practice, the squeeze may be omitted as you will have learned how to control your ejaculations.

Tips Use a condom to decrease sensation. Identify something that can distract you during sex to prevent ejaculation. Focus on controlled breathing during intercourse.
