answer

The truth is, whether you’re single or in a relationship, masturbation -- and the way you approach it -- can help you manage premature ejaculation (PE). When you’re fooling around or having sex with your partner, a powerful cocktail of neurochemicals -- the chemical messengers serotonin and dopamine -- takes over your sexual arousal. That cocktail makes you feel so good that it’s almost like you’ve been transported out of your body. For guys with PE, feeling detached like that can make it more difficult to stay in control of ejaculation. But when you masturbate, you can pay more attention to the process and different levels of arousal. Masturbation doesn’t just feel great. It’s also a powerful tool for dealing with PE.
