Are you coming to the gym?
New Research Published in the International Journal of Clinical Health Psychology It has been found that doing this particular type of exercise for less than 10 minutes a day can help men last longer in bed, with results seen in just two weeks.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT), a training method that alternates short bouts of intense exercise with lower-intensity recovery periods, is known to have many benefits, including improved cardiovascular and metabolic health.
And now men’s sex lives may improve.
Premature ejaculation is a sexual dysfunction in which a man ejaculates before or shortly after penetration, or with minimal stimulation. Premature ejaculation often leads to frustration and dissatisfaction in sexual relationships, affecting self-esteem and mental health.
Although it is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions experienced by men, its cause remains unknown.
It is usually treated with behavioral and drug therapy, but these may be ineffective or have unwanted side effects.
But new research suggests that just seven minutes of high-intensity interval training per day for 12 days can have a positive effect.

Researchers from East China Normal University recruited 76 men aged 18 to 34 who had a stable female partner and engaged in sex at least once a week.
The men were split into three groups, one group did HIIT for seven minutes every day for two weeks, another did slow breathing exercises for the same amount of time, and the third took part in regular breathing exercises.
Ultimately, the analysis revealed that those who went to the gym and focused on regular breathing exercises experienced reduced symptoms of premature ejaculation.
The researchers explained that during HIIT training, attention needs to be paid to both physical movement and performance, as well as breathing regulation.
“Repeated practice may improve men’s ability to regulate their attention to internal and external sensations,” the study found, which could help men control ejaculation.
However, further analysis revealed that attention regulation scores improved in all three groups.
If you want to spend more time in bed, try doing some HIIT training or practicing some breathing exercises.
