Does Acupuncture Work for Premature Ejaculation? Which Acupuncture Points

premature ejaculation acupunctureBack when I was younger, and I couldn’t last long during sex to save my life, I would have done anything to overcome premature ejaculation.

I used to drink alcohol, masturbate before sex, think appalling thoughts during sex to “turn myself off” (taking all the fun out of it)… but no matter what I tried, I was never able to last long enough to get a woman off, even on my “best” days.

So I know what a frustrating problem PE can be.

But the good news is, there are a number of options out there now that work to delay ejaculation.  And this includes acupuncture.

Needles to Make You Last Longer During Sex?

I’m a believer in all sorts of medicine… East, West, I think they have their merits. I believe where Western medicine is lacking, Eastern is strong, and vice versa.

Acupuncture uses needles to open up the flow of energy in the body. While not exactly sure of the mechanism, a change of energy flow brought about by the needles helps men to last longer during sex, and studies have shown this.

Studies on Acupuncture For Premature Ejaculation Vs. Meds for PE—±

The interesting thing is the different findings of studies on acupuncture vs. medication for overcoming PE, one in China, and one in Turkey.

Guess which one found Acupuncture to be better than medication, and vice versa?

The Chinese study found that acupuncture was more effective for delaying ejaculation than medication, but they used a medication called “Sailete”… which I’ve never heard of, and which a Google search yields zero results… I feel this study was rigged from the beginning for the “East” to win.. SSRI’s and only another couple of classes of psychiatric meds have been shown to have ejaculation delaying qualities… and “Sailete”, whatever that may be, is not one of these.

This is not to say that acupuncture doesn’t work for overcoming premature ejaculation though….

The Turkish study found that acupuncture did indeed have significant ejaculation delaying effects, compared to the control group which received no kinds of treatment, but not as strong as the effects of Paroxetine (marketed as Paxil, an SSRI).  To the defense of the acupuncture, they only treated these men twice a week with the acupuncture… and even with that, the effects were quite impressive.

Which Acupuncture Points Are Used To Treat Premature Ejaculation?

While no expert in acupuncture, the following points were used in the Chinese study:

Acupoint Group I

  • I Xinshu (BL 15),
  • Ganshu (BL 18),
  • Pishu (BL 20),
  • Shenshu (BL 23)

Acupoint Group II

  • Guanyuan (CV 4),
  • Zhongji (CV 3),
  • Sanyinjiao (SP 6),
  • Taixi (KI 3),
  • Taichong (LR 3)

And in the Turkish study, the following acupoints were used:

  • Zusanli ST-36,
  • Hegu L.I.-4,
  • Taixi KID-3,
  • Taichong LIV-3,
  • Yintang M-HN-3
  • Zhongji REN-3

Why Go The Acupuncture Route Vs. Meds For Treatment Of Premature Ejaculation?

Acupuncture is an all natural method of overcoming PE, vs. SSRI’s, which can carry side effects, such as a change in personality, lethargy, weight gain, loss of sex drive, and more issues. Good news for the “Western Team”, is that on-demand treatment of SSRI’s has shown to delay ejaculation as well, which will limit any side effects.

Up to you which team you root for, but they both seem to have their strong suits.

There are a number of natural ways to gain ejaculation control, including exercises to train yourself to last longer in bed, for more info on these exercises, click here…

Refractory Period 4x Stronger After Sex Than Masturbation

masturbation refractory periodLife is a big mystery sometimes…

The refractory period following sexual intercourse with a partner is 4 times as powerful as the refractory period following regular old masturbation.

Scientists discovered this using data from 3 different studies. The amount of prolactin (the hormone that wipes out your dopamine, killing your urge to have sex again – both mentally and physically) released, in both men and women, following intercourse was 400% times higher than it was following masturbation.

This suggests greater mental and physical satisfaction following sex, as compared to masturbation.

What I don’t get is… how does your body recognize this difference?

There must be hormonal secretions in the vagina that pass through into the penis, or something similar… because as far as your body is concerned, I would think that the mental and physical stimulation provided during masturbation mimic actual sex quite well…

Yes, there is the physical exertion following sex, but a 4 times difference in chemical release after sex!  That’s substantial! There’s something there…

Maybe the Taoists were correct…

In the Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity, Daniel Reid describes a “powering up” method that the Taoists used to follow.  First off, you should know that in Taoism, ejaculation is described as “the little death”… it is a “spilling of your life essence”

The idea is to save up your semen, not ejaculate, and this is supposed to power you up mentally and physically…

And to take it a step further, they have their orgasm / powering up trick…

The idea is to give women orgasms during sex, without ejaculating… the more orgasms you give a woman, without ejaculating, the more powered up you get.

Sounds like a fun (and challenging!) game, but never thought there was any science to support it.

But now that I’m seeing how strange this hormonal exchange is that occurs during sex… and that there is a massive physical change experienced in a man following sex (with ejaculation), maybe the opposite occurs (without ejaculating)?

Maybe the Taoist’s had it all right… or a big part of it at least!

If you are interested, you can learn how to completely get rid of the refractory period, and stay hard after orgasm for multiple more orgasms, click here for more info…

Does On-Demand SSRI Usage Work To Overcome PE?

do antidepressants make you last longer in bed

SSRI usage to overcome PE was just a natural step for me. Back in my premature ejaculation days, I tried all kinds of things to last longer during sex.

I tried all the supposed methods to overcome premature ejaculation (that never work):

  • stop-and-start
  • squeeze technique
  • thinking about something else
  • drinking excessively
  • ejaculating right before sex
  • having the girl pulling on my testicles (that was supposed to make me last LONGER?)

None of them helped me to delay ejaculation….

But one thing DID help me greatly delay ejaculation, and be able to last longer in bed: Zoloft, an antidepressant

I was going through a rough patch in my life at one time, and my doc prescribed me Zoloft.  After the violent diarrhea and insomnia subsided, I had new-found, superman powers of ejaculation control. I was able to last as long as I wanted.

Rather than fighting to keep FROM ejaculating with my girl, I had to fight TO ejaculate. It was a nice struggle to have, especially for someone who sufferered from PE for so long.

However, in time, I began to get real “OCD-ish” from the antidepressants, with a number of things, and my personality slightly changed. Anxiety increased a bit, and I was extra hyper in a way, and formed an “addictive” personality (I began binge drinking heavily, and blacking out quite a bit. But the weird thing is, when I thought about going out, I was overwhelmed and would get tired…  Plus my sex drive suffered a bit.

I never suffered from erectile dysfunction from SSRIs.

So I stopped the SSRI’s.

In no time, my energy levels were back up, and I was the same old David. I had gleaned some insights into ejaculation control (due to seeing things through “new eyes”), but my superman ejaculation control properties did not stay.

Luckily, I’ve learned how to train myself to last longer during sex since then, and premature ejaculation is no longer a problem, but it showed me what a strong solution SSRI’s are for overcoming PE.

So how to gain the sex-elongating benefits of SSRI’s without the side effects? On demand SSRI treatment would be best

That’s where dapoxetine (marketed under the brand name Priligy or Westoxetin) works well.  On demand treatment of dapoxetine was shown to triple the amount of time men could last in bed, and some…

On demand treatment of dapoxetine, taken 1 – 3 hours before sex, was shown to increase the amount of time men with moderate- to severe-premature ejaculation could last from 0.90 seconds (starting point), to 2.78 minutes for a 30 mg dosage, and 3.32 minutes for a 60 mg dosage.  That’s a massive difference!

But what’s even more interesting (to me at least), is that the men in the placebo group nearly doubled the amount of time they could last during intercourse (from 0.90 minutes to 1.75 minutes), just because they THOUGHT that they took a pill that allowed them to last longer!

Show’s how strong a role the mind plays in ejaculation control!

So if you want to treat your premature ejaculation with an on-demand treatment, dapoxetine works, and with minimal side effects.

If you’d like to learn how to last longer during sex mentally, without the need for meds, see here… these exercises will train your mind and body to KNOW that you can last as long as you want.

Whatever method you choose, do something! PE is not fun!

Your Cell Phone May Be Lowering Testosterone Levels & Causing ED

Cell phones can cause ED

Years back, I worked with an older Taiwanese woman who told me that if I wanted to have kids, that I should keep my cell phone away from me.

That it had “negative waves”.

I didn’t have faith in what I thought was just Eastern medicine, so didn’t pay her much mind… but in reality, since then I’ve come across a few studies showing that not only do mobile phone “waves” lower sperm production, but can cause erectile dysfunction, and lower testosterone levels as well…

In a study published in the Central European Journal of Urology, medical teams found that men who kept their cell phones on (and on them) experienced greater incidences of erectile dysfunction than men who kept their cell phones on for less time.

The study took 20 men who complained of ED, and 10 healthy men who had perfectly normal erectile function, and asked them about their cell phone usage. These men were all similar when it came to age, weight, smoking, testosterone levels, etc.

The men who experienced erectile dysfunction carried switched-on cell phones for an average of 4.4 hours, meanwhile men who had perfect erectile function carried switched-on cell phones for only an average of 1.8 hours.

In another study carried out over three months, Saudi scientists exposed rats to mobile phone radiation for 30-60 minutes a day, for a total of three months.  At conclusion of the study, these poor rats’ testosterone levels were far reduced from baseline.

Yes, a mobile phone in relation to a rat is like us standing next to a six foot microwave, but being that the majority of men tote around their cell phones in their pockets for most of the day, then it must have at least some effect on T levels.

So What Do We Do To Keep Our Testosterone Levels And Erections Strong, When We Need Our Cell Phones Every Day?

cell phones and erectile dysfunctionKeep the cell phones away from your body, but within a reasonable reach.

Nobody says you need to be disconnected from the world for your penis to work.

Personally, wherever I go, if there’s somewhere I can set my cell phone down and away from me, I do (as long as the area looks safe; “unshady”). I have minor OCD, so constantly check on my things.

And when walking, I carry my phone in my hand… I figure, the farther from my testicles, the better for my testosterone.

This may not be an all out cure for erectile dysfunction though.  Of course, many men may experience severe erectile dysfunction for other reasons. They may be overweight, out of shape, have bad circulation, be heavy smokers, be on medication, experience diabetes, have sexual performance anxiety… any number of reasons why a man may have erectile dysfunction.

When it comes to overcoming erectile dysfunction, if you don’t want to go the Viagra route, there are a number of natural things you can do to strengthen your erections.  Of course, you should make sure to address the other issues if possible, for instance, if overweight, at least try and eat better… if you’re a heavy smoker, slow down or quit.

It’s a three pronged approach: follow some guidelines to naturally boost testosterone production, strengthen inner “erection” muscles to their max, and perform some manual exercises to improve blood flow throughout penis that provide long-term benefits, see here:  How to Strengthen Your Erections and Testosterone Levels Naturally
