Managing premature ejaculation is often perceived as an individual "problem," but sexologists emphasize that it is much more effective when a couple tackles it together, as a team.
How can a partner help practically Removing pressure on the result, being patient in the process of learning the techniques, actively participating in the use of Squeeze or Stop-Start techniques.
The importance of communication Openly talking (even outside of sex) about how each person feels during this process reduces feelings of shame and one-sided responsibility.
Creating an alternative focus Longer foreplay and a focus on pleasing your partner (oral/manual stimulation before or without penetration) reduces the pressure on the duration of penetration.
Why this team approach is more effective: Studies show that couples who work on this issue together (rather than separately, in secret) achieve significantly better results in therapy.
