Hi, thanks for your query.
Premature ejaculation cane be treated by behavioral techniques as well as drugs. these behavioral techniques are to be practiced during sex and effects are long lasting. With repeated practice it will give you the best benefits.

and other interruption methods.
Details of these techniques about how to apply you can read from the internet [it is lengthy here to explain, easy to understand and apply].
Other methods are like using the position for sex in which you have lesser stimulation to your penis. [depends upon your past sexual experience]
There are condoms available which comes with anaesthetic agents in it. which provides no sensation to penis and ejaculation is therefore delayed..
In diet, supplements of selenium, vit E can be taken. EGGS are full of selenium.
In the drugs,SSRI antidepressants delay the ejaculation as a side effect. Two types of drugs available.
1.drugs like, fluoxetine [prozac], paroxetine [paxil], sertraline [zoloft] etc. these drugs should be taken daily and effects are seen after 15 days.
2. like dapoxetine, this has to be taken just before the sex [half an hour] and it will cause delayed ejaculation..
For more details you can consult a psychiatrist and go for sexual counselling, which includes sex education, details about sex organs, foreplay and how to explore the sensitive part in the partner.
I hope this will be helpful to you. before going for prozac at least one try can be given to behavioral techniques.
