Sitting Position
The sitting position is an intimate and romantic position that allows the woman to sit on their partner’s lap with their arms and legs wrapped around him. This ensures that either part can regulate the speed, depth, and angle of intercourse, helping reduce the chance of premature ejaculation.
While it’s true that the woman can choose each of the parameters, the position itself allows the man to slow down if he feels he is going to climax too early. This is best performed in a comfortable chair or on the end of a bed.
Stand and Carry Position
The stand and carry position requires that the man holds their partner’s full weight, while the female wraps their legs around his waist. This position can prolong sexual activity because the concentration required to maintain balance during penetration can provide a distraction and slow down the process of arousal and eventual climax.
We don’t recommend choosing this position if the man is unable to support their partner’s weight and it’s important to make sure that the act is performed in a safe environment that can limit any injuries, should you struggle to stay standing throughout your romantic encounter. At the top of the stairs is probably not a good idea!
Spooning
If the missionary is feeling a little dull for both you and your partner, try the spooning position to spice things up a little. Spooning allows both men and women to maintain a constant pace that should reduce the chances of early ejaculation.
Get the woman to lie on her side as the male takes his place behind, and make sure you’re both facing the same direction as he slowly enters. Spooning ensures a slower, more rhythmic sexual encounter that will be a pleasurable exercise for everyone involved.
Woman on Top
Similar in execution to the sitting position, this is a common role that you probably didn’t realize can help limit the chances of premature ejaculation and prolong the amount of time you and your partner are having sex. It allows either party to control the amount of stimulation the man receives, as well as both partners being able to take charge of speed, depth, and pressure.
In other words, tell your partner to take control. If the woman slows down during intercourse, the man should reduce the amount of thrust put into the position as it’ll help prolong the experience. For optimum pleasure, get him to lay back on a bed and allow the woman to slower lower herself onto him.
Non-Penetrative Missionary
The non-penetrative missionary position offers a unique twist on the classic favorite. It involves lying face-to-face with your partner, your bodies aligned and your legs intertwined. While this position doesn't involve penetration, it can still be incredibly sensual and intimate.
The non-penetrative missionary position is an excellent choice for couples looking to prolong the sexual experience or for those who may want to engage in intimate activities.
without penetration. It allows you to connect deeply with your partner while still savoring the pleasure and intimacy of being physically close.
Oral Sex
KY Duration products are for vaginal sex only. But if premature ejaculation is getting you down, don’t worry! There are plenty of other fun activities that you can undertake in the bedroom until you rebuild your confidence. Oral sex is a fun alternative to intercourse. The numerous different positions that can be tried and tested with oral sex give you and your partner a smorgasbord of pleasure that is varied and fun.
So dim the lights, put on some romantic music, and let your sense of touch run wild. If you have continued symptoms of PE, you should seek medical attention.
Worst Sex Positions to Delay Ejaculation
Now that we’ve covered how to delay ejaculation during sex, it’s worth understanding the positions that are terrible when it comes to delaying male orgasm. These include:
Doggy Style
This allows for maximum thrusting for the man, and thanks to the tantalizing visual scene it creates, it's hard for men not to quickly blow it within minutes. This one is a must-avoid.
Sixty-Nine
Sixty-nine is all sensations at once, featuring giving and receiving with total bodily surrender. As a result, it's quick for the man to orgasm from being quickly over-stimulated. In fact, if PE is a consistent problem, it might be worth skipping foreplay before intercourse altogether. With that said, it is a great position if you are looking at how to orgasm with your partner.
Missionary
Due to the dominative nature of missionary and the easy access it gives men to reaching deep into the vaginal walls of their partner, it’s a quick and easy way for men to orgasm fast. Leave this one for the finale.
