• Squeeze technique and stop-start technique:
  Both the techniques are based chiefly on understanding sensation premonitory to orgasm. Participation and cooperation of the partner, tranquil condition and improving of relationship are very much essential for this treatment. The treatment consists of manual stimulation of penis by the partner until he reaches a degree of excitement approaching impending orgasm. Just prior to the stage of orgasmic or so called ejaculatory inevitability, the male signals the partner to stop further stimulation or at this point the partner applies steady pressure squeezing the glans penis by thumb at frenulum and index and middle finger on either side of the coronal ridge (on glans and the shaft respectively) for 3 to 4 seconds or until erection decreases. The man should relax, be in touch with his own sensations and not get worried during this technique about partner’s sexual needs. The squeezing process needs to be resumed three or four times before orgasm occurs. After three or four successful sessions he may proceed to vaginal containment in female above position and later side to side and male above position, depending upon the individual progress. A few weeks treatment often cures this condition.
• Surgery if required.
