Then move on to masturbation with a lubricated hand. Use saliva, vegetable oil, or a commercial sexual lubricant. For most people, lubricants increase the sensual intensity of erotic fondling. Follow the same program: Masturbate until you approach your point of no return, then back off. Repeat this several times over several sessions.

* Once you have good control during masturbation, and appreciate whole-body sensuality, and feel comfortable breathing deeply during lovemaking, then you're ready for the couples program -- if you're in a couple. The couple approach is called the "Stop-Start Technique." First, arrange "stop" and "start" signals with your lover, for example, a light pinch or tap, or a tug on an ear.

Then, your lover strokes your penis by hand as you lie still. When you approach your point of no return, give the "stop" signal. Your lover immediately stops stroking you and simply holds your penis gently, as you continue to breathe deeply and pays close attention to the sensations you're feeling. When you no longer feels close to ejaculation, gives the "start" signal, and your lover begins stroking you again. How many stops and starts should you do? A half-dozen over a 15-minute period works well for most couples. Do what feels comfortable for you.

The world's best medicine for enhancing sexual stamina is exercise. When you are high on health and fitness, all your systems perform at peak efficiency, and that goes for your reproductive system as well.

In particular, do exercises that enhance your flexibility, and strengthen your abdominal and pelvic muscles. Flex the muscles of your anal sphincter 15 to 20 times a day, holding the contraction for around 5 seconds each time.

Be fit and you won't need any artificial aids to get you going... er... I mean coming!
