Control your urges, men: It will pay off in the bedroom

By Pierce Delahunt | September 24, 2008

The start of the year is over, you went to the gym a few times and you thought you were going to be healthy. But your motivation is starting to fade, and the last time you hit the weight room was last week.

You do not really feel like working out, but you do need to maintain your body for those you have your eyes on. The good news is that what their eyes see does not make too much of a difference. The bad news is that you will still need to exercise, for what they feel in the bedroom. Here are a few exercises you can do to keep your partner excited.

Ejaculate control is key to providing satisfaction to a (wo)man. Control does not mean it takes a long time to cum; It means that you control it. Control gives you options, and options make you a better provider. No one wants to have a quickie with you if it will take 40 minutes.

Number One is peeing. Guys do this quickly. In, Out, Boom. Just like sex, for most. It does not have to be this way. Stopping and starting while taking a piss is a simple and effective way to build ejaculate control.

You do not even have to do this while peeing! Bored in class? Simply tighten where you would if you had to stop (this is called the PC muscle), hold for a bit while inhaling, then release. The times are up to you. I hold four, release two.

A long time ago in China, the emperor had a sexual advisor. One of the tests the advisor had to pass is the "drink a cup of water" test.

"But PierceD, I can drink a cup of water!"

Yeah, but can you drink it with your dick? That's right; These guys had such strong PC muscles that they could draw in water through their penises by tightening and releasing. Thirsty?

Number Two concerns while you actually perform the nasty. You know when you are thrusting, then tension mounts and your PC tightens? As a reflex? In this exercise, see how long you can go before you give in to your reflex. Try to keep from tightening the PC muscle, even if you are dying to release the tension.

This does two things. First, and immediately, it makes you last much much longer for that session. Second, and permanently, it is a great and often overlooked exercise for ejaculate control. Way more people know and execute the PC contraction, while very few practice the contraction prevention. Definitely give it a shot. Unfortunately this does not really work with whacking off, but here is one exercise that does.

Number Three. We all understand the biological needs to cumletting, but this time, just before passing the point of no return, stop and relax. After a few breaths, keep going. Lather, rinse, repeat. See how many times you can go. Three minimum, please. You do not even have to finish. Many think that the point to sex is the orgasm, but this exercise practices the opposite. Make it a session! Firstly, it helps you become more sensitive to feelings you receive while sexing. You feel the subtleties, and trust me, they feel good.

Secondly, if you decide to finish, you will notice that you stay rock-hard. You tell that to your partner and get a high five. The more you build up without finishing, the harder you will be before and after finishing.

Now you can go as long as like, because even if you do finish after a half hour (do the above exercises and you will be fine), you can keep going after that.If you decide not to finish, you will notice you feel very energized. This exercise helps you feel the pleasure of sex without feeling tired afterward.

In fact, the more you do this, the more energized you will be after the actual thing, or even after whacking off to the point of orgasm. But if you really want to spill your seed, another way to prevent the onset of grogginess is to visualize.

While having sex, imagine yourself drinking in the energy your lover is putting into the act. Hopefully she is putting some in. Just the visualization will make you feel able to take on the world after the dirty. And if you stay rock-hard, you will be able to!

Try these four exercises for now and see what happens. There will be more to come.
