home remedies to last longer in bed - #18999
I am really struggling with something kinda personal and hope to get some advice here. Lately, I've been having issues with, well, lasting longer in bed. It's been a bit embarrassing, to be honest. I’m in a happy relationship, but this is starting to cause some tension and I hate that. I’ve tried to just relax and focus, but then I just end up getting anxious, which doesn't help! Some friends have suggested I look up home remedies to last longer in bed, but I feel like I’m grasping at straws here. And honestly, I don’t know if those would even work. I read somewhere about certain exercises and dietary changes being recommended as these home remedies to last longer in bed, but that seems really vague and I'm not sure where to start. Have any of you ever tried any specific home remedies to last longer in bed that actually worked? Or is there something I can do in the meantime? I’m really worried that this is going to mess up my relationship even though my partner is super understanding. Just feel kinda lost on what to do next. Thanks for any suggestions!

Doctors' responses
When it comes to lasting longer during sexual activity, there are several evidence-based approaches you can consider alongside lifestyle adjustments at home. First, focusing on exercises might be effective. Pelvic floor exercises, often referred to as Kegel exercises, can strengthen the muscles involved in ejaculation control which might help improve stamina. To perform these, identify the muscles you use to stop urination midstream and contract them for 3-5 seconds, then release. Repeating this 10-15 times per session, several times a day, can prove beneficial over time. Prioritizing the reduction of overall stress and anxiety can also play a significant role. Stress and performance anxiety can exacerbate early ejaculation. Regular physical exercise, like jogging or yoga, can reduce stress levels. Mindfulness or meditation practices can also assist in reducing anxiety, honing in on the present moment rather than performance “success.” In terms of dietary changes, some studies hint at the potential benefits of certain nutrients, like Omega-3 fatty acids, which may improve circulation, or other foods traditionally believed to have aphrodisiac effects, but evidence remains limited. Reducing alcohol and tobacco intake can also enhance overall sexual function. If these measures don’t create a notable improvement, seeking advice from a healthcare professional about behavioral therapies or medication options may be very helpful. It’s essential to approach any online or “natural” remedies with caution, as they may not be scientifically proven and can sometimes pose health risks. Remember the importance of communication with your partner, as openness can alleviate tension and encourage understanding in the relationship.
