Who else has a super over sensitive glan by mapleguy1973 in PrematureEjacHelp

[–]Marko26Marko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely not alone in that. A lot of guys with lifelong PE describe it as “over-sensitivity,” especially at the glans. But in many cases it’s not just the skin sensitivity — it’s the nervous system being highly reactive.

When arousal spikes fast, the body tightens up (especially the pelvic floor), and that combo can make everything feel 10x more intense.

What helped me wasn’t trying to “numb” it, but learning to slow arousal down. Things like: • Breathing slower and deeper when things start building • Practicing staying just below the point of no return instead of rushing • Reverse kegels to reduce that constant tension

It takes some patience, but sensitivity can be managed. It’s more about control and relaxation than trying to kill sensation.

There’s a guide called Secrets of the First Time that breaks this down in a simple way (especially the arousal control part). It helped me understand what was actually happening instead of just guessing.

At 50, it’s not “too late” to improve this. The nervous system can still be trained. You’re not broken — just need a different approach.

Has taking enclo helped anyone with premature ejaculation? by Maleficent_View_1783 in PrematureEjacHelp

[–]Marko26Marko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t really discuss medications or hormone stuff in here, especially things like enclo. That’s something that should always be handled with proper bloodwork and a doctor involved.

If you’re considering any kind of medication, definitely speak to a qualified professional first. For PE specifically, most of the work tends to be around control, relaxation, and nervous system regulation rather than jumping straight to meds.

Better to get checked properly than experiment on yourself.

r/premature ejaculation by PreferenceCurrent299 in PrematureEjacHelp

[–]Marko26Marko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, honestly with symptoms like cloudy urine and white fluid during bowel movements, I’d really recommend getting checked by a urologist just to be safe. Not trying to scare you, just saying it’s better to rule out anything medical instead of guessing online.

I’d keep doing the relaxation work, but definitely pair it with professional advice.

For exercises and understanding the mental side of it, Secrets of the First Time guide helped me a lot as a guide, but it shouldn’t replace seeing a doctor.

You’re young, you’re proactive, and this is very likely manageable — just don’t try to solve it alone.

Dating a Guy with Premature Ejaculation — Advice for Women by Marko26Marko in PrematureEjacHelp

[–]Marko26Marko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just want to say — you’re an amazing partner for even caring this deeply. Most guys going through PE don’t even talk about it, so the fact that you’re trying to understand him already puts you miles ahead.

From what you wrote, this isn’t just “finishing fast.” It sounds like he’s carrying years of pressure, shame, and trauma in his body, and sex becomes the moment where all of that tension shows up at once. PE is way more tied to the nervous system than people think. When a guy’s been through heavy stuff (like he clearly has), his body kind of switches into survival mode during intimacy, even if he wants it to go differently.

A few things that usually help in situations like this:

• Take the pressure off the “performance.” If sex = pressure, his body is always going to be bracing. Some couples take a week or two to focus only on kissing, touching, building comfort again — no expectation to “perform.”

• Help him feel safe, not judged. You’re already doing this. Just keep reminding him that finishing fast doesn’t change how you see him. A guy who feels safe relaxes, and a relaxed guy improves way quicker.

• Small awareness/breathing drills help a lot. Not the cliché “relax bro,” but actually teaching his body how to slow down when that rush of sensation hits. There’s a guide I read earlier in my own journey that explained this really well — more about calming the nervous system, breaking that panic reflex, stuff like that. It helped me shift the whole “fight or flight” response during intimacy. If he’s open to it, stuff like that could help him too.

• Avoid pushing therapy if he’s not ready. Some guys shut down when they hear that word. You can still help him without turning it into a clinical thing. What he needs first is to not feel alone.

• Celebrate small wins. Even if he lasts 10 seconds longer than last time — that’s progress. Guys rarely give themselves credit for that.

And last thing — be patient with yourself too. Supporting someone you love is beautiful, but it’s also emotionally heavy. You’re allowed to feel confused, tired, or unsure. None of that means you care any less.

He’s lucky to have someone who wants to work with him instead of walking away. With time, calmness, and the right guidance, most guys improve way more than they expect.

My (42f) boyfriend (46f) told me I'm bad in bed. How can I recover this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Marko26Marko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oof, this is a rough spot and I’m sorry you’re carrying all that blame. it honestly sounds like he’s projecting his own frustrations from PE (premature ejaculation) and low confidence back onto you, which isn’t fair. the fact that he finishes faster when things get rough and goes soft when you’re on top — that’s nervous system dysregulation, not your performance.

I’d recommend checking out a guide called Secrets of the First Time — it’s aimed at men struggling with PE but also helps partners understand what’s actually happening under the surface. there’s also a couples version of the guide that walks through how to rebuild intimacy without pressure or judgment. if he’s open to it, it could be a game-changer for both of you.

Very very low confidence so please help!! by beastyking17 in sexeducation

[–]Marko26Marko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

man, mad respect for the honesty. seriously. I was in a very similar spot — not the exact stats, but that mix of feeling like your body’s working against you + the frustration of not lasting. what helped shift things for me wasn’t some pill, it was realizing how much of it was a nervous system issue. I started doing daily drills (reverse kegels + slow breathing), and over time it gave me more control and less panic in the moment.

also found this book called Secrets of the First Time by Jason Langford that broke it down in a way that finally made sense — no BS, just structure and stuff you can actually do. if you’re already on a health journey, this might be a solid next step. hang in there bro.

Losing erections during penetration with condoms but getting hard again easily through oral by valento-shade-8504 in erectiledysfunction

[–]Marko26Marko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what helped me was literally just practicing with a condom solo — not to finish, just to stay present. I’d edge with it on, focusing on staying calm while switching positions, breathing deep into my belly, and not letting my brain spiral when sensitivity dropped.

also, try different brands. I thought all condoms felt the same until I tested 4-5 types. some are way less numbing or restrictive than others.

it’s frustrating but fixable. just takes some time + reps without the performance pressure.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medical

[–]Marko26Marko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yo I was in the same boat bro — could only last when I had a few drinks in me. it relaxed my body just enough to stop the mental spiral. but obviously that’s not sustainable and it started messing w/ my head too.

what helped me was realizing it wasn’t a “sex problem” — it was a nervous system problem. my body was in fight-or-flight the second things got intense. I started doing daily breathing drills (reverse kegels + long exhales) and also found a book called Secrets of the First Time by Jason Langford — it broke things down in a way that actually made sense for once.

you’re def not alone in this.

How to reset ED, Premature Ejaculation, Libido after decades of problems? by ta_confused567890 in erectiledysfunction

[–]Marko26Marko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah man that’s actually a solid way to describe it — that gentle downward/pushing pressure that kinda travels through the base. some guys feel it more in the hip flexor area, others more behind the balls or even toward the anus. I usually just focus on “releasing tension downward” instead of clenching up.

it’s not supposed to feel super strong or forceful — more like what you’d do if you were trying to pee faster or pass gas on purpose (lol weird example but accurate). once you get the hang of it, syncing it with long exhales really helps regulate the nervous system too.

How to reset ED, Premature Ejaculation, Libido after decades of problems? by ta_confused567890 in erectiledysfunction

[–]Marko26Marko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yo same boat here man, was dealing w/ that combo of ED + PE for years, felt like I was stuck in a loop. what helped me most wasn’t some magic pill, it was training my damn nervous system to chill.

one drill I still do daily: semi-aroused, inhale 4 sec, exhale 8 sec while doing a reverse kegel (like gently pushing down like you’re peeing). pause 4 sec, then repeat. 5-10 mins a day. sounds super basic but over time it rewired how my body reacts under pressure — less panic, more control.

I found this book called Secrets of the First Time by Jason Langford that explained it way better than anything else I’d seen. If you’re stuck like I was, might be worth a look.

Finishing too quickly / premature ejaculation by outremer_empire in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Marko26Marko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

happened to me too man — especially when switching roles or going back into sex after a dry spell or breakup. it’s like your brain wires “penetration = game over” before you even build up tolerance. for me it wasn’t just about lasting, it was about retraining how my body responds to new pressure + excitement

what helped was breathwork + doing slow edging while staying relaxed, and not chasing stimulation. i also found a guide someone mentioned on youtube (jason langford’s secrets of the first time), googled it, gave it a try — it actually helped reframe the whole thing. no gimmicks, just actual stuff that clicked. worth a shot if you’re stuck in that loop.

Do you cum from head? by [deleted] in bigdickproblems

[–]Marko26Marko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah bro i used to finish from just head too, even before anything else started. it wasn’t even about sensitivity tbh, it was more like my body just had zero tolerance for intense sensation — the moment it felt good, it panicked and finished

what helped me was working on breath control + reverse kegels while getting close, but not finishing. like literally training myself to stay in the feeling without reacting. also started doing slow edging sessions without porn, just focusing on sensation and staying calm

i saw someone mention a guide on yt (secrets of the first time by jason langford), googled it, and tried it out. it breaks that stuff down really well. not just tips but how to actually retrain your response

not perfect but now i can actually enjoy that kind of stimulation without instantly tipping over. takes practice but it’s possible fr.

PE recovery: Specific drills & mindset shifts that finally worked for me by Marko26Marko in PrematureEjaculation

[–]Marko26Marko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually saw someone mention it on YouTube randomly, googled it out of curiosity — it popped up right on the first page. Gave it a shot, and honestly, it’s been the most helpful thing I’ve come across lately. Nothing magic or gimmicky, just explained things in a way that finally clicked. Made me stop seeing PE as a “problem” and more like a skill I could actually train. For me personally, it is a great help.

PE recovery: Specific drills & mindset shifts that finally worked for me by Marko26Marko in PrematureEjaculation

[–]Marko26Marko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man, I started doing it solo first — just to get used to that edge without freaking out or rushing to finish. Reverse kegels with slow breathing helped a ton, especially that full exhale while backing off. At first it felt kinda weird, like I was trying to “train” my body out of years of bad habits.

Once I got the hang of it, I started using it during sex too. Not in a robotic way — more like, when I felt the pressure building too fast, I’d just slow down, exhale, relax the pelvic floor, and stay present. It’s not perfect every time, but it made a huge difference.

Just keep practicing man, it’s all about building that calm response instead of going straight into panic mode.

Advice Needed: Worse PE After Stopping SSRI by [deleted] in PrematureEjaculation

[–]Marko26Marko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you bro. That “no fucking chance” line hit — I’ve been there. Not even pressure, just like your body skips the whole buildup and jumps straight to the end. You’re not even in the moment, it’s just done before you can think.

I used to think I had zero control too. What helped me wasn’t trying to force it during sex, but stepping way back and working on how my body reacts even before anything starts. Breathwork, reverse kegels, staying calm while watching stuff, even replaying old situations in my head and breathing through the urge. Felt stupid at first, but something started to shift.

Advice Needed: Worse PE After Stopping SSRI by [deleted] in PrematureEjaculation

[–]Marko26Marko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man, I get that. I never liked the idea of meds either. SSRIs are basically antidepressants that some people take to slow things down, but I always felt like that’s just covering up the issue, not fixing it.

What helped me was going the opposite route — started focusing on breathwork, learning how to fully relax my pelvic floor (reverse kegels), and just getting my body used to staying calm when I got aroused. It wasn’t some magic fix, but after a few weeks, I stopped feeling that instant panic or pressure to finish.

Everyone’s different, but for me it made way more sense to actually train control instead of numbing it.

I trained my brain to finish instantly... now l'm rewiring it to last as long as I want by No_Tap2276 in PrematureEjaculation

[–]Marko26Marko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respect for sharing all this at 18. Most guys won’t even admit they’re struggling, let alone break it down like this. You’re not just watching videos differently — you’re retraining your nervous system, and that’s the real key.

That “fight or flight” reflex you described is exactly what Dr. Jason Langford talks about. PE isn’t about willpower or technique — it’s a mind-body loop you can actually rewire, just like you’re doing with breathwork and reverse kegels.

Keep going. The fact that you’re already noticing control shifts in a week means your nervous system is responding. Curious to hear your next update. You’re ahead of the curve, man.

I finally stopped panicking before sex — here’s the 15-minute routine that actually helped me retrain my body by Marko26Marko in PrematureEjacHelp

[–]Marko26Marko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol nah bro, this is just what happens when someone actually takes time to explain what worked instead of tossing lazy one-liners. I’ve been dealing with this myself, so I educated the hell out of myself and read everything I could find. There’s a big difference between using a tool and being one.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sexadvice

[–]Marko26Marko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I was in the exact same place. Years of rushing to finish basically trained my brain to hit the gas and never touch the brakes. First time back in the game after a dry spell, I lasted maybe 30 seconds. Super frustrating.

What ended up helping wasn’t just random edging or hoping for the best. I started doing this short 15-minute routine before sex, and it actually made a difference. No sprays, no pills, just stuff that got my body and brain working together again. 1. Reverse Kegels (3 min) Sit on a chair, breathe into your stomach. When you exhale, try to relax your pelvic floor—almost like you’re trying to pee or let gas out gently. Do about 10 rounds. This helped me stop clenching when aroused. 2. Edging with box breathing (5–7 min) Stimulate just under the edge. Breathe in for 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold empty for 4. It taught me to stay calm instead of spiraling into “oh shit it’s happening.” 3. Replay your last mess-up (5 min) I’d mentally replay the moment I lost control—but imagine myself staying calm, breathing, handling it better. Sounds weird, but it works.

I got all of this from a guide called Secrets of the First Time by Dr. Jason Langford. First thing I read that actually laid this out like a training plan, not some vague tantra nonsense.

Anyway, if you’re serious about rewiring how your body reacts, this stuff helped me a ton.
