Marathon lovemaking is a great way to break up a couple’s bedroom routine. Sometimes, the busy nature of life and the fatigue it causes end up confining lovemaking to quickies, during which partners tick off their favorite sensual boxes and then wrap it up. Though this may be fun and satisfying for a while, many people dream of a day or night when their escapade leisurely spans several hours. Along with practicing proper manhood care, there are several things men can do to facilitate a successful marathon lovemaking session they and their partners are sure to appreciate. Below, men can find steps to prepare for and last during a marathon session, along with aftercare advice.

Before:

• Self-pleasure daily. Frequent solo play can help a man build stamina in the sack. This is especially true if he implements the technique of edging – bringing himself to the brink of release, backing off, then repeating three or four times before allowing release.
• Exercise. Muscular and cardiovascular strength are important for bedroom endurance. Strong muscles allow a man to hold positions longer, and cardio strength promotes ample blood flow to the male organ, which is necessary for getting and maintaining a wicked hard-on.
• Stock up on lube. Even if one’s partner produces plenty of natural lubrication, it’s bound to run low when a couple is going at it for hours. Have a quality product on hand to make sure lovemaking remains appropriately slick.
• Consider desensitizing barriers. For men who have a hard time lasting, barriers with numbing agents can promote lasting longer without completely deadening pleasure.
• Don’t drink heavily. A drink or two can get one nice and relaxed, but more than that may inhibit tumescence.

During:

• Choose positions wisely. For men with long refractory periods – the amount of time it takes for them to get hard again after releasing – it’s important to choose positions that don’t cause a tremendous amount of stimulation. What positions those are may vary from one man to the next. Also, switching positions regularly can both keep things fresh and allow a guy to last longer.
• Incorporate sensual breaks. It’s not realistic for most people to go at it for hours without any kind of break. Breaks may include a quick snack and hydration, but couples can also incorporate sensual elements to keep both parties fired up and ready for more. This is a great time for a man to orally and manually stimulate his partner, perhaps breaking out some of his partner’s favorite toys.
• Experiment with kinks. Couples with kinks such as bondage can prevent monotony during a marathon session by switching from regular lovemaking to kinky lovemaking. Handcuffs, whips, blindfolds, restraints – the possibilities are endless.

After:

• Wash and moisturize. Once both partners have attained satisfaction from their marathon lovemaking session, it’s time to focus on hygiene and recovery. Washing the naughty bits is a good idea, as is urinating to clear the urethra of any bacteria that may have worked its way in. This is especially important for women to do, since urinary tract infections are more likely to occur if they don’t urinate after lovemaking.

Men may notice that their male organs are sore from the prolonged friction of marathon lovemaking – not to mention the chafing of daily self-gratification. They can care for their skin by making use of a quality male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) after washing their equipment. A product that contains both Shea butter and vitamin E will moisturize the delicate member skin without causing irritation. Vitamin A is another great ingredient, since it can help fight bacteria that causes unwanted odors. Taking proper care of his male organ will allow a man to recover faster and be ready for his next session, whether with hand or partner.
