how to improve sex timing - #38190
I am dealing with a bit of a sensitive issue, and honestly, I hope someone can give me some solid advice on how to improve sex timing. Lately, my partner and I have been feeling a bit frustrated in the bedroom. A few months ago, everything was great, but suddenly, I find myself finishing much quicker than I’d like during intimacy. It’s super embarrassing, and I can tell it's affecting my partner too because they seem kinda disappointed. Tried to talk about it but I just feel awkward, you know? I’ve read that stress and anxiety could be affecting things, maybe that’s why? Work has been really hectic, and I feel like maybe I’m just not in the right headspace during those moments. I’ve been doing some research on how to improve sex timing naturally, like breathing exercises and some kind of pelvic floor stuff, but I’m not sure what would actually work. I also came across some herbal remedies, but I’m skeptical about those. Anyone here had the same issue? How to improve sex timing without meds or anything too crazy? Would love any tips or experiences shared! Just want to give my partner the pleasure they deserve without feeling rushed or worried.

Doctors' responses
Improving sex timing can indeed be a concern, and you’ve correctly identified potential factors like anxiety and stress. Ayurveda offers several natural ways to help improve this aspect of sexual health.
First, understanding your dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) could be beneficial. Elevated Vata, often associated with irregular schedules and stress, might contribute to such issues. Balancing Vata through lifestyle adjustments would be ideal. Begin with regularizing daily routines — wake up and go to bed at about the same time each day to help stead your mind and body rhythms.
Diet plays a role too. Foods nurturing Ojas, supporting vitality, might assist. Warm, nourishing meals are recommended; choose cooked vegetables, dairy, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Incorporating spices like ginger, cumin, and cardamom could support digestion and overall balance.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb beneficial in managing stress levels, often linked to early ejaculation. Taking ashwagandha daily with warm milk could aid in improving vitality and reducing stress. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized dosage and timing.
Pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegel exercises, could help by strengthening the muscles involved in lasting longer. Practice daily by clenching as if to stop the flow of urine, holding for a few seconds, and releasing. Do this multiple times a day.
Shavasana and deep breathing exercises may also be beneficial in reducing stress and improving mental focus. Practicing 15-20 minutes of mediation or yoga daily helps to calm the mind and enhance overall well-being.
Lastly, communicate openly with your partner about your concerns. A relaxed and supportive environement can greatly influence performance, reducing anxiety. If stress at work persists, consider practices like journaling or speaking with a counselor to address those underlying concerns.
Balancing lifestyle, diet, herbs, and exercising could collectively support improvement in this area without resorting to medications. If symptoms persist or cause distress, consult a healthcare professional for advice tailored to your individual needs.
