Introduction
Sometimes, your own brain can be your worst enemy. Picture this: you’re in bed with a beautiful woman, having an amazing time, and suddenly, your brain gets overexcited, leading to a loss of control. Today, I’ll share five effective techniques to help you trick your brain and eliminate premature ejaculation.
Tip 1: Recognize the “Point of No Return”
Introduced properly, the “point of no return” is a very key concept in gaining control over premature ejaculation. That is the very moment during sexual activity that you recognize if you become any more stimulated, ejaculation is inevitable. Your mind and body have to be in sync with each other so you know this point and feel yourself getting close to reaching it.
Think of it like driving a car toward a cliff: if you see it in time, you hit the brakes and don’t go over. Sex is the same thing—you have to feel the sensations in your body and learn how to know when you’re too close to the edge. This doesn’t happen by itself; it takes practice and mindfulness.
Practical Steps to Recognize the Point of No Return.
- Mind-Body Connection: Start by paying close attention to the physical sensations during sexual activity or masturbation. Notice the build-up of pleasure and how it changes as you get closer to ejaculation.
- Slow Down: Practice slowing down your movements. This gives you more time to notice the sensations and become aware of how close you are to the edge.
- Breathe and Pause: Incorporate breathing exercises into your routine. Deep, slow breaths can help calm your mind and body. When you feel you’re getting close to the point of no return, take a brief pause, focus on your breathing, and allow the heightened sensation to subside a bit.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Like any skill, recognizing the point of no return improves with practice. During masturbation, deliberately bring yourself close to this point, then stop all stimulation. Allow your arousal to decrease before starting again. This will help you build the ability to sense and control your level of arousal during sex.
Mastering the ability to recognize your point of no return is useful not only to prevent premature ejaculation but to give you a better sexual experience in general. It puts you in control and helps you focus on yourself and your partner, creating intimacy through mutual pleasure. More satisfying and enriching sexual experiences will come out of it over time.
By spending some time developing this mind-body connection, and through regular practice, one can learn to gain better control over sexual responses and avoid premature ejaculation. This willful attempt shall reap dividends in pleasures that are much more enjoyable and long-lasting for both partners.
Tip 2: Embrace Meditation
Premature ejaculation is generally associated with an overexcited, nervous, or overstimulated state of mind. Meditation can be very strong counteracting medicine that brings peace, focus, and clarity of mind. Having meditation practiced in your routine may help you to be more controlling over your thoughts and emotions; hence, the mindset changes towards a controlled and relaxed one.
It trains your mind to be present and calm. That is what makes you focus on the moment, reducing anxiety, which happens to be very relevant during sex. Being less anxious and more in control over your thoughts, you would have a better command over the responses of your body related to sexual arousal.
Steps to Start Meditating
- Find a Quiet Space: Choose a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. This could be a corner of your room, a quiet park, or any place where you feel relaxed.
- Set a Timer: Start with short sessions, around 5-10 minutes. As you become more comfortable with meditation, you can gradually increase the duration.
- Focus on Your Breathing: Close your eyes and take slow, deep breaths. Focus on the sensation of the air entering and leaving your body. This helps anchor your mind and brings your attention to the present moment.
- Acknowledge and Release Thoughts: As you meditate, thoughts will inevitably arise. Instead of getting frustrated, simply acknowledge them and let them go. Imagine them as trains arriving and departing from a station—you don’t have to get on board; just watch them pass by.
- Practice Regularly: Consistency is key. Try to meditate daily, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Over time, this practice will become easier and more effective.
Imagine that you are with your woman, and then suddenly you are overwhelmed or very anxious. Instead of getting overwhelmed by these sensations, you remember your meditation practice. You start breathing deeply and slowly, thus focusing on this moment. This will calm your mind and body—making an early ejaculation quite unlikely.
This will really assist in premature ejaculation and a lot of other things. It helps reduce general stress, attain clarity of mind, emotional stability, and better sleep, all of which will lead to a more healthy and balanced life, which in turn will improve your sexual health.
It means developing a calmer, more controlled mind through meditation. You will avoid excessive arousal, thereby averting premature ejaculation in such a state of the mind. You’ll be more attuned to your body and capable of enjoying longer and more satisfying sex.

Tip 3: Engage Your Logical Mind with Counting Tiles
Engaging your logical mind during sex can help you manage your arousal and avoid premature ejaculation. One effective technique is counting tiles, or any repetitive, logical activity that shifts your focus slightly away from the intense emotional and physical sensations.
Most of the time, premature ejaculation occurs because one is emotionally and physically too aroused. This logically engages the brain and produces a mental distraction, reducing over-excitement. It does not mean that one should remove their consciousness from the act; balance has to be achieved.
The Technique
- Identify a Focal Point: During sex, choose something in your environment to focus on. It could be the tiles on the ceiling, a pattern on the wall, or even counting your breaths.
- Count Methodically: Begin counting in a steady, methodical way. For example, if you’re focusing on tiles, count them one by one, slowly and deliberately. This process engages the logical side of your brain and helps to balance out the emotional excitement.
- Stay Aware of Your Partner: While counting, ensure that you’re still present and attentive to your partner. The goal is not to completely disconnect but to find a middle ground where you’re in control of your arousal levels.
- Practice and Adjust: Like any technique, this takes practice. Experiment with different focal points and counting methods to find what works best for you. Over time, you’ll become more adept at using this strategy effectively.
Imagine being in full swing and feeling just a little bit overwhelmed by the sensations of Ejaculation. Without panicking or flailing, you subtly shift your focus onto something logical—like counting tiles on the ceiling. The mental activity contributes to a great deal of recomposed calm without detracting from the experience for your partner. You stay present but with an extra layer of control.
It’s important not to overdo it. If you become too detached, your partner may notice and feel neglected. The key is to use counting as a subtle tool to keep your excitement in check while still being fully present and engaged.
Tip 4: Sparring – Channel Your Inner Fighter to Stop Ejac
Engaging in physical sparring activities like boxing, Muay Thai, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can significantly improve your control over premature ejaculation. These intense, high-adrenaline sports require you to stay calm and focused under pressure, helping you develop better control over your body’s responses in all situations, including sexual ones.
Sparring puts you into situations wherein you’re forced to deal with your fight-or-flight response. The threat of physical consequences that looms imminent keeps you present and calm, which will directly bleed over into sex by way of better self-management of your arousal. If you’re used to being calm when someone is throwing punches at you, it’s a lot easier to stay in control in the bedroom.
The Technique
- Find a Sparring Activity: Choose a martial art or combat sport that interests you. Whether it’s boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the key is to find an activity that involves regular sparring.
- Learn to Control Your Breathing: During sparring, focus on controlling your breathing. Slow, deep breaths help calm your mind and body, reducing anxiety and helping you stay composed. This practice is crucial for maintaining control in high-adrenaline situations.
- Stay Present and Focused: Sparring requires you to be fully present. You can’t afford to be distracted when someone is trying to hit you. This mindfulness helps you develop the ability to stay focused and in control, even in stressful situations.
- Apply the Calmness to Other Areas: The composure you develop through sparring can be applied to sexual situations. By staying calm and controlling your breathing, you can manage your arousal levels more effectively.
A few years ago, I took up Muay Thai and found that the mental discipline I developed in the ring helped me immensely in other areas of my life. I learned to control my breathing and stay calm under pressure, which translated directly to better control over my arousal during sex. The intense focus required in sparring sessions trained my mind to stay present and composed, a skill that proved invaluable in the bedroom.
In fighting, you are always striking a balance between being awake and not being calm. This is also very sex-relevant. Training this kind of balance in a controlled high-stress situation helps in managing arousal much better, avoiding getting too excited, which could also be beneficial in retarded ejaculation.
Benefits from sparring will include more than the improvement in sexual performance. You’ll be more levelheaded in just about any kind of situation: giving a presentation at work or dealing with some stressed situation in your personal life. That discipline and concentration can vastly help in many other areas of your life as well.

Tip 5: Pavlovian Conditioning – Reprogram Your Responses
Pavlovian conditioning, often referred to as the “stop-start technique” or “edging,” involves training your body to manage and extend your arousal. This technique helps you reprogram your automatic responses to sexual stimuli, allowing you to gain better control over premature ejaculation.
It’s as basic as Pavlov’s dogs learning to drool at a bell—what your body can do is train itself to hold back an ejaculation. If you’ve been rushing yourself toward an end for years when you masturbate, then you really have instructed your body in quick responses. Pavlovian conditioning helps reverse this by training your body to know the symptoms of an oncoming ejaculation and how to respond to those symptoms.
The Technique
- Awareness During Masturbation: Pay close attention to how you masturbate. If you habitually rush to climax, you’re conditioning yourself for quick ejaculation. Slow down and become mindful of your arousal levels.
- Identify the Point of No Return: Learn to recognize the point just before you can’t hold back any longer—the “point of no return.” Becoming familiar with this feeling is crucial for controlling your ejaculation.
- Stop-Start Method: During masturbation, when you feel you’re approaching the point of no return, stop all stimulation. Allow yourself to calm down until the urgency to ejaculate subsides. Then, resume stimulation. Repeat this process multiple times.
- Gradual Progression: As you get more comfortable with the stop-start method, try extending the periods of stimulation before stopping. Over time, you’ll train your body to last longer without ejaculating.
Imagine you are masturbating and you are just about to come. So you stop, take deep breaths, and just wait until the sensation wanes. Once you are in control once more, then you start. This practice not only increases your stamina but also makes you more aware of your arousal levels during sex.
A friend of mine struggled with premature ejaculation for years. He started practicing the stop-start technique during masturbation, initially finding it frustrating. But with persistence, he noticed significant improvement. By recognizing his point of no return and stopping before reaching it, he gradually increased his control. Within a few months, he could last much longer during sex, improving his confidence and satisfaction.
