		<itunes:summary>Yours is a wonderful question and by asking it, we will hopefully be able to help many men who have questions about premature ejaculation and learning to control the timing of ejaculation.
Everyone Does It
Masturbation is an extremely common sexual activity ndash; most men and women have masturbated. This is particularly true for young men and women, for whom masturbation is quite common and an excellent choice for safer sex and for learning about onersquo;s own body.

Speaking of which, masturbation can actually help men learn to control the timing of their ejaculation. In other words, by practicing very specific masturbation techniques, you may be able to get more in touch with your body so that you can stop yourself from ejaculating before yoursquo;re ready. It will likely take time and a good deal of practice, but this type of practice can be quite pleasurable!
Masturbation Techniques
Two techniques that are commonly used by men who would like to develop ejaculatory control are the stop-start technique and the squeeze technique.

Here is how they work: Start by stimulating your body in the way that you usually do. As you build arousal, pay attention to your bodily sensations. Just before the point of no return ndash; when you will ejaculate no matter what happens ndash; stop all stimulation and let your arousal subside a little. Then start the stimulation again and repeat the cycle. This is the stop-start technique.

The squeeze technique is similar except instead of stopping all stimulation, one can gently squeeze the head of onersquo;s penis and then let the arousal subside.

More detailed instructions about these and other techniques for learning ejaculatory control are described in The New Male Sexuality.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>Not as far as we know. In fact, masturbation techniques can help men to learn to control the timing of their ejaculation, and to last longer if they would like to.
Masturbation Techniques
One such method is the stop-start method, which basically involves a man stimulating himself until just before the point of orgasm, then backing off a bit to let his erection slightly subside, then starting up again.

By practicing masturbation in this way, men can learn to pay attention to the feelings inside their genitals that signal they are approaching orgasm. With time and practice, they can learn to control the timing of their ejaculation.
Masturbation and Premature Ejaculation
All that said, some therapists and researchers wonder if our societal taboos around masturbation might be related to premature ejaculation for some men.  While growing up and even in later years, some men develop a habit of speeding up their masturbation so that family members, friends or roommates donrsquo;t ldquo;catch themrdquo; in the act.  This may lead to the same pattern of speeding up during intercourse.

Masturbation should be a source of pleasure and enjoyment ndash; not stress.  If you enjoy your masturbation time ndash; or would like to -  be sure that you have the privacy that you need to enjoy your time alone.

The stop-start technique, by the way, can also be tried with a partner.  It can help you to control your ejaculation so that you can come quickly if you want, but you can also prolong the enjoyment and arousal.

Sometimes when I masturbate I will not feel like I have ejaculated yet and there will be semen-like stuff on my hand. Is that stuff on my hands before I ejaculate a problem?
