Sexual pleasure can be very important for both the partners. To last long in bed has turned out to be a new fantasy for many boys, which, however, seems to be a misconception as there is no precise duration for that. Although, a sexual intercourse that doesn’t last more than 3 minutes can be concerning.

Contrary to what you might have seen in porn, men typically engage in sexual activity for 5 to 10 minutes, and the entire act - from seduction to completion - can take up to 30 minutes. 

To extend your performance time in bed, you could try some of the natural home remedies mentioned below;

Consume more fruits and vegetables

Studies have revealed that males who are mostly vegetarians, spend more time in bed than non-vegetarians. The reason behind their longer performance is believed to be the minerals they receive from these potassium-rich fruits and vegetables that are known to increase endurance.

  • Banana is known to be the best fruit for improving sexual performace due to its high potassium content. Additionally, it offers a substantial supply of glucose.
  • Amla or gooseberry juice, which has a good level of iron and zinc, will help you stay in bed longer and also boost your sperm quality.
  • Munch on a few strawberries prior to sexual activity. Its high quantity of glucose and zinc can make you last longer.

Steer clear of processed sugar

Not just sugar but baked and refined food item can also have a negative effect on your sexual performance. 

When you eat large amounts of carbohydrates such as in ice cream and desserts, your body releases insulin to maintain this abnormal surge of sugar in your bloodstream, resulting in a drop in blood sugar levels. The condition is known as ‘hypoglycemia’ and may affect your sexual performance.

Quit smoking

Smoking adversely affects overall health. Erectile dysfunction is twice as common in smokers as in non-smokers. Smoking is also known to cause artery hardening and reduced blood flow to the penis, resulting in difficulty in getting or maintaining erections. 

People need to realize that a healthy heart and blood arteries have a lot to do with a man's ability to erect. 

Drink less alcohol

Alcohol is known to depress your senses and prevents you from being 'truly' present. Therefore, making it hard for a man to stay focused in the moment and enjoy the process.

Exercise

In addition to reducing risk factors for heart disease, physical activity can improve sexual function and general health.

Lifestyle diseases like diabetes, hypertension and heart problems are three conditions that can damage nerves and change the amount of blood that reaches the penis. It could be harder to get or maintain erections as a result.

In addition, some men find that physical workout improves their mental health by reducing anxiety and improving their body image and self confidence.

  • Strengthen the muscles in your arms and core to last longer in positions that require a man to be on his hands and feet. Therefore, performing body-weight workouts at home or in the gym can help you build your biceps, triceps, and abdomen muscles.
  • Training the arousal and ejaculatory muscles can also be beneficial for a man. You can try these exercises to keep your erection for longer;
  • Stop the pee flow while urinating and pay attention to the muscles involved. Keep on practicing this multiple times till you get familiar with the concerned muscles.
  • Try to squeeze these muscles for 10 seconds when not peeing. After releasing the tension for ten seconds, contract them again for the same duration.
  • Do this ten times a day, to strengthen the involved muscles.
  • Stop for a while and take a deep breath just before when you are about to reach climax during intercourse or masturbation. This distraction may seem odd and frustrating but can improve your control and increase your in-bed sexual time in long run.
  • Squeezing right below the head of the penis as you are about to orgasm is one of the best penis exercises that can increase your sexual enjoyment in bed. This buys you additional time by forcing the blood away from the penis.
  • Concentrate more on foreplay and your partner: Attempting to trigger an orgasm with her using your fingers or mouth might occasionally help you relax and prolong the duration of your erection.
  • Men who sleep for less than five hours at night have decreased testosterone levels, according to a research. To improve your bedtime performance and lengthen your sexual enjoyment time, it's crucial to acquire 7-8 hours of sleep.
  • Try yoga asanas like bhujangasana (cobra pose) and paschimotasana (seated forward bend) help enhance blood flow to the vaginal area and lengthen the amount of time you can spend having sex.

Practice mindfulness

It is very important for both the partners to be in the moment during the whole love making process. Stress and worry can prevent people from enjoying intimacy with their partners and make it hard to get or maintain an erection. If a man is concerned about his sexual performance, he may feel less energised and engaged during sex.

But you can manage your sexual behavior by practicing awareness and meditation. This could assist a man in focusing in the present and on physical sensations rather than sexual performance.

Conclusion

Lasting long in bed can be a fairytale dream for many but this can be achieved by a healthy and active lifestyle. Making various lifestyle adjustments might help someone feel good about their sexuality. A man with erectile dysfunction, lesser sexual desire or early ejaculation may gradually improve his sexual performance if he adjusts his lifestyle and undergoes therapy.

Working with a licensed sex therapist can also help a man to understand and treat his problem with the right approach. Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and reduced sexual desire can all be early indicators of health problems.One can take good care of their body by living an active lifestyle, consuming healthy foods, and reducing stress.
