If you’re not sure how to do that, we can help. Keep reading to find our tips on how to be more confident in bed.
Do Your Kegels
You’ve probably heard about Kegel exercises women do to strengthen their pelvic floor. You’ve probably even felt these muscles in action during a bout of intimacy. But did you know that men can also do Kegels?
Kegel exercises for men can improve sexual functioning and support bowel and bladder health. Your erections may become firmer, and you might be able to delay ejaculation longer as you can contract your muscles on command.
First, you have to find the right muscles. The next time you’re urinating, try to stop yourself mid-stream. This is the muscle you’ll be focusing on working.
Contract the muscles for three to five seconds, then relax. Repeat ten times.
Practice Edging
Edging is a masturbation technique where you allow yourself to get as close to ejaculation as possible but then stop in time to delay orgasm. Practicing this during masturbation can help you learn how to delay ejaculating when you’re being intimate.
Some men even find that edging can strengthen the eventual orgasm, making it more intense.
Slow Down
When we feel nervous, our natural reaction is to rush through whatever makes us feel that way. An anxiety-inducing phone call. A presentation at work. Sex.
It’s normal to try and rush through sex simply because you’re nervous about your performance. But, unfortunately, rushing can make you more anxious and make the experience less pleasurable for your partner.
One way to boost your sexual confidence is learning to take it slow. Women take much longer than men to be ready for penetration, so take your time getting them prepared for penetration. Once you see how much you can please her, you’ll gain confidence for the main event.
Address Body Image Issues
How you view yourself can have a significant impact on your sexual performance. A negative body image can prevent you from feeling confident in bed. But you don’t need to come ripped like Dwayne Johnson to regain your confidence.
One way to address your body image issues is to ensure you maintain a stable weight. You will feel more comfortable in your body if you’re at a healthy weight. Plus, obesity can lead to erectile dysfunction, which will significantly impact your sex life.
