Foods To Cure Premature Ejaculation
Medically reviewed by Kanusha YK
When relationships feel strained, intimacy becomes difficult, or emotions feel hard to manage, it can be challenging to know where to start. As a Clinical Psychologist, Couple & Family Therapist, and Psychosexologist with nearly a decade of experience across hospital, corporate, and healthcare settings, I help individuals and couples rebuild connection, communication, and self-understanding. I support clients struggling with sexual disorders, relationship conflicts, anxiety, emotional regulation, and adolescent concerns. In therapy, we take a practical, step-by-step approach, understanding what’s really behind your struggles, learning new tools to manage emotions, and creating meaningful change that lasts. My work combines evidence-based techniques with warmth and collaboration. In simple terms, I adapt therapy to what works best for you. Clients often tell me that therapy helps them feel calmer, more connected, and more confident in both life and relationships. Outside of sessions, I find joy in gardening, evening walks, and relaxing movie nights, small rituals that keep me grounded and refreshed.

Our experts continually monitor the health and wellness space, and we update our articles when new information becomes available.
Yes, surprise, your daily diet matters when it comes to your sexual performance and ejaculatory function - even erectile dysfunction.
Nutritional food is not only a source of strength but also enables your bodily functions to be smooth. For example did you know that the right food can help your testosterone levels? Or that it can improve blood flow? Or that good food can increase your serotonin levels and magnesium levels? Or that it can improve hormonal level fluctuations? You've heard it a million times, junk food is not the answer, but can a healthy diet really positively impact sexual function?
We'll give you a quick glimpse. Here's a list of foods that our experts suggest you include in your everyday diet!
Vitamin A & C-Containing foods
Vitamin A is one of the essentials when it comes to controlling the hormone testosterone. Vitamin C helps increase sperm count and can help raise your blood pressure. For example, Asparagus is great to include in your diet - it’s rich in both vitamins.
Citrulline-containing foods
Watermelons, for example, are abundant with the phytonutrient called Citrulline. It is said to help improve libido. Additionally, Citrulline converts to Arginine, an essential amino acid that helps in the relaxation and dilation of the penis blood vessels. This will help in increasing penis blood flow.
Potassium-containing foods
Foods such as bananas are rich in Potassium, which helps aid in blood flow - an essential part of controlling muscles during intercourse and an erection. Bananas additionally have bromelain, an enzyme extract derived from the stems of pineapples, which is also said to help improve PE and increase libido.
Other foods you should consider adding to your diet if you have PE, and why:
Okra
A deficiency in vitamins A, K, and Zinc is one of the causes behind PE. Okra is one of the vegetables that have these vitamins in abundance, which can help improve sexual health.
Carrots
These veggies help in increasing blood flow to the genital area during sex. Rich in beta-carotene and antioxidants, it helps with PE and in increasing libido.
Garlic
This very popular seasoning is considered to have high levels of allicin, thereby it is an aphrodisiac - a substance that increases sexual pleasure, or behaviour. Besides increasing libido or sexual drive, garlic cloves are also anti- inflammatory and anti-bacterial. They help in enhancing blood circulation as well.
Avocado
This fruit has Vitamins C and K which can help regulate blood flow.
Make a healthy diet part of your daily routine - your sex drive will thank you.
