Self-care

Over-the-counter medication includes a lidocaine spray containing a numbing agent. Practicing stopping intercourse before ejaculation and then resuming may help.

When to make a doctor's appointment

See a doctor if:

  • Unable to delay ejaculation for more than one minute after penetration
