Ejaculation Timing — Start-Stop / Squeeze

Awareness is the skill, timing is a byproduct

TherapistAssist logo

The Semans start-stop and Masters & Johnson squeeze techniques — behavioral skills for building awareness of the point-of-inevitability and lengthening ejaculatory latency. Practice solo first, then partnered.

Awareness — the arousal scale

0 = neutral · 3 = pleasant arousal · 6 = plateau, still returnable · 8 = point of inevitability · 10 = ejaculation.

Currently, at what number do you notice you're past the return point?

Awareness is the skill; timing is a byproduct

The goal isn't a longer clock — it's higher-fidelity awareness of what your body is doing so you have room to choose.
