Hey, I'm a 14-year-old guy and I've been going through something weird recently. Every time I masturbate, I get these super sharp, cramp-like pains in my stomach. It lasts for about a minute or so, and if I move around too much, I get the pain again but it feels like it's moving up towards my chest. I usually do it every day, so I'm kinda worried and wondering what's going on. Any idea what this could be?
Overexcitement_: Rushing into intercourse can lead to premature ejaculation.
2. _Lack of control_: Insufficient practice in controlling ejaculation can contribute to the issue.
3. _Performance anxiety_: Fear of not satisfying your partner can exacerbate the problem.
_Solutions_
1. _Practice relaxation techniques_: Regular relaxation practices, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation, can help reduce anxiety and improve control.
2. _Exercise pelvic floor muscles_: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through Kegel exercises can help improve ejaculation control.
3. _Use the "stop-start" technique_: During intercourse, stop when you feel close to ejaculation, wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and then resume.
4. _Try the "squeeze" technique_: When you feel close to ejaculation, squeeze the base of your penis or the head of your penis to delay ejaculation.
5. _Consider counseling or therapy_: A sex therapist or counselor can help you address underlying issues and develop strategies to improve your sexual performance.
6. _Topical anesthetics or delay sprays_: Certain products, like lidocaine or benzocaine sprays, can help reduce sensitivity and delay ejaculation.
_Remember_
1. _Communicate with your partner_: Openly discuss your concerns and work together to find solutions.
2. _Practice patience and persistence_: Overcoming premature ejaculation takes time and effort.
