1. Healthy attitudes toward sexuality and one's own genitals helps prevent delayed ejaculation.

  2. It is also vitally important to realise that one cannot always control a sexual response, just as you cannot force yourself to go to sleep or to perspire. The harder one tries to have a certain sexual response, the more it becomes inhibited.

  3. To minimise the pressure, a man should absorb himself in the pleasure of the moment, without worrying about whether or when he will ejaculate.

  4. The partner should create a relaxed atmosphere, free of pressure.

  5. Any fears or anxieties, such as fear of pregnancy or disease, should be openly discussed.
