BURKI’S
MANEUVRE FOR DELAYING EJACULATION
MOHAMMAD HARIS BURKI (M.B.B.S., Ph.D.)
ABSTRACT
BACKG ROUND :
Orgasmic dysfunctions are the commonest sexual problems
encountered. Before the introduction of SSRIs, behavioral techniques
were the mainstay for the management of premature ejaculation.
Pause method, pubococcygeal muscle training, cognitive and behavior
pacing strategies and squeeze technique figure prominently amongst
them. But the popularity of behavioral technique declined sharply
after the dawn of SSRI era. However, SSRIs have certain side effects
especially anorgasmia and erectile dysfunction. A strong need
was felt to develop a more effective and self administrable technique.
METHOD :
An extensive electronic search was made regarding techniques for
delaying premature ejaculation on various database websites. Manual
search for such material from various journals and books was also
made. Orgasm was studied in detail; anatomically and physiologically.
RESULTS:
In the first stage the basis of emission was understood to be
as follows:
First is the contraction of vasa efferentia of testis. Secondary
contraction travel along epididymis to vas deferense and finally
these pulsate in close conjunction with seminal vesicles. Regular
prostatic contractions are recorded during the process. Prostatic
fluid is poured into urethra. Later secretion stored in ampullae
and seminal vesicle is discharged into prostatic urethra. Spermatic
cords appear to be most strategic point as nerve impulse for initiating
orgasm passes down and emission reflex passes upward through them.
CONCLUSION:
Considering the anatomy and physiology of orgasm, a simple
method to block orgasm has been developed. Sympathetic impulses
for orgasm and sub threshold orgasmic impulses prior to emission
can be blocked by compressing two spermatic cords simultaneously
at upper half of right and left folds or margin of scrotum close
to deeper part of penis. These spots can be pressed firmly by
middle and ring finger with penis in the cleft between index and
middle finger. If penis is thicker, cleft between middle and index
finger can be used. That is what has been termed as Burki’s maneuver.
