7 Ways to Improve Sexual Performance
Table of Contents
The following methods can help to reduce erectile dysfunction, increase stamina, boost semen production and improve the overall quality of sex:
Do More Foreplay
There is a common belief among men that penetration is the most important part of sex.
However, many men who feel that their anatomy doesn’t perform to their standards can use this as an opportunity to use new strategies that make their next intimate session a sensory overload (in a good way) for their partner.
Foreplay can include carressing, kissing, and oral sex. Extending foreplay can improve the sexual experience for everyone involved.
Foreplay is especially important for women. A 2017 study found that less than 18 percent of women experience an orgasm from intercourse alone. According to the same study, 36.6 percent of women said that clitoral stimulation was necessary for orgasm during intercourse.
Use the start-stop technique
Men who want to last longer during intercourse and tease their partner along the way can try the start-stop technique.
To use this technique, stop sexual activity every time ejaculation feels imminent. Take a deep breath and start again slowly, then stop to delay ejaculation for as long as desirable.
This method can train the body to delay ejaculation and help a man to feel more comfortable with not ejaculating, and prolonging him and his partners experience
Taoist Thrusting Techniques
This is an ancient technique from China that has been delivering orgasms for centuries :)
First, you do 9 shallow thrusts and 1 deep thrust.
Then 8 shallow thrusts and 2 deep ones.
Then 7 shallow ones and 3 deep thrusts.
And so on, until you do 10 deep ones.
Then, if you’d like to keep this rhythm going, reverse the practice until you’re back at 9 shallow thrusts. The number doesn’t have to be exact, but varying the progression is what counts.
This technique is great because the changes in thrusts will keep her in suspense and it will be infinitely more enjoyable than the usual.
Manage anxiety and stress
Anxiety and stress can make it difficult to be in the moment and achieve or maintain an erection. These feelings can reduce the sexual intimicy.
If a man feels anxious about how he will perform or life in general it will affect his interest in being intimate and his body won’t respond as he wishes.
Strategies for managing anxiety and stress include:
- focusing more on foreplay than sexual performance
- exercising
- getting more sleep
- working to improve your relationships
- meditating
- Engaging in a hobby you enjoy
- going to therapy
- taking relaxing herbs and supplements
Get more exercise
Being physically active can increase blood flow to all areas of the body including your manhood. Many men find that regular exercise improves their mental health, reducing anxiety and helping them to feel better about their bodies.
Both cardio and weight lifting have tremendous benefits to the performance of the male anatomy. And it doesn’t take much exercise to start seeing results so get out there and get some sort of physical activity at least 3 times a week.
There are also some exercises a man can do to specifically target the muscles involved in arousal and ejaculation.
A kegel exercise may help:
When urinating, stop the flow of pee and then start again. Repeat several times and learn to train the muscles involved.
You can also practice at other times. When not urinating, try to contract these same muscles for 10 seconds. Relax them for 10 seconds, then contract them for another 10 seconds.
Repeat this cycle of contracting and relaxing 10 times each day.
Mindfulness Practices
Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment. Its the most basic form of meditation and it can help you in the bedroom.
In 2017 research was published that suggests that mindfulness therapies can change negative attitudes regarding sex, improve sexual relationships, and help people to be in the moment during sexual activity.
Meditation and mindfulness can also help to reduce stress in other areas of your life. This can indirectly address sexual dysfunction and improve a man’s ability to focus in the moment.
Try Herbal Remedies
The safest way to boost and improve sexual performance is to use natural herbs. Pharmaceutical medications may help but they come with a host of negative side effects that are downright scary.
Researchers in 2018 published a review of 24 different trials involving herbal ingredients for improvement of erectile function and the results were impressive.
