The missionary position is a popular sex position, but it can be challenging for men to last longer in this position. Here are some tips to help you last longer in the missionary position:
1. **Breathing exercises**: Deep, slow breaths can help you relax and prolong ejaculation. Practice taking slow, deep breaths before, during, and after sex.
2. **Penetration depth**: Try to maintain shallow penetration, especially when you’re getting started. As you become more comfortable and aroused, you can gradually increase the depth of penetration.
3. **Focus on your partner’s pleasure**: Pay attention to your partner’s body language, sounds, and responses. Focus on giving them pleasure, rather than just focusing on your own arousal.
4. **Communicate with your partner**: Let your partner know if you’re feeling close to ejaculation. You can ask them to slow down or take a break until you’re ready to continue.
5. **Use the stop-start method**: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stop moving and rest for a few seconds. Then, start again slowly. Repeat this process until you’re able to maintain a comfortable pace.
6. **Try the pelvic floor muscle (PC muscle) contraction**: The PC muscle is the muscle that controls the flow of urine. Contracting it can help you delay ejaculation. To do this:
* Contract the PC muscle by imagining you’re stopping urine flow.
* Hold the contraction for a few seconds.
* Release the contraction and rest for a few seconds.
* Repeat this process several times.
7. **Use visualization techniques**: Visualize yourself performing sex in a more controlled and relaxed manner. Imagine yourself having sex when you’re feeling calm and composed.
8. **Consider using a delay spray**: Delay sprays can be applied to the tip of the penis to help delay ejaculation. However, be aware that they may not work for everyone, and some people may experience side effects.
9. **Practice sex techniques that don’t involve direct penetration**: Try sex techniques that don’t involve direct penetration, such as oral sex or manual stimulation, to give you a break and help you recover.
10. **Consider seeing a sex therapist**: If you’re experiencing premature ejaculation or difficulty lasting in the missionary position, consider seeing a sex therapist. They can provide personalized guidance, exercises, and techniques to help you overcome these challenges.
Additional tips:
* **Get regular exercise**: Regular physical activity can help improve circulation and boost your endurance.
* **Reduce stress**: High levels of stress can contribute to premature ejaculation. Practice stress-reduction techniques, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing.
* **Get enough sleep**: Lack of sleep can disrupt hormone balances and contribute to premature ejaculation. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
* **Consider the 30-minute rule**: The 30-minute rule suggests that if you ejaculate within 30 minutes of starting sex, it may be a sign of premature ejaculation. This can help you identify potential issues and seek help.
Remember, practice makes perfect. With patience and persistence, you can develop better control and endurance in the missionary position.
