Q: Premature Problem...but It Doesn't Happen All the Time

My girlfriend and I have been dating for 2 months now. She had wanted to have sex on the second date (she had thought all guys wanted that, but I didn't), but I said no at the last second, and told her that I wanted to get to know her, and actually form a relationship.

3 weeks later we had sex for the first time together. It was incredible. I'd say minus foreplay (I usually give her a massage to get her started up), it lasted about 15 minutes. Since then it was fine, we even went 3 times in one night. She told me she really enjoyed it, and even brought it up the next day how great it was. A couple of times there were times I never even had the desire to ejaculate, but just kept going until she was worn out. I felt like a machine!

A few nights ago we did it again. 5 seconds after I entered her I felt that I was about to come, so I stopped, then started again slowly, repeating this process once or twice. It lasted long enough for her to climax, but just barely.

Today we did it and I almost came right away again. We changed positions and it helped a little, but again - it lasted just long enough for her. Just after she climaxed, I did.

I'm starting to wonder what's going wrong - before, I was doing great, now I seem to be falling apart. I talked to her about it, and she told me I was doing just fine, and that I shouldn't worry about it.

I had this problem with my last girlfriend, as well. Sex was great for a while, then I came early a couple of times and she would ridicule me, get mad and go to sleep. But then again, it would come and go (no pun intended), sometimes I'd be able to go for what seemed like all night, sometimes not even a minute. Is this normal?

Also, when I masturbate, I can make it last as long as I want, pretty much. Sometimes a half-hour, sometimes 5 minutes, so the problem doesn't present itself there.

My guess is that you were so happy about the first time you set a really high standard for yourself and now you're afraid you won't live up to it.

It will take the pressure off of you if you spend lots of time stimulating her before sex, with oral sex or with your hands, give her an orgasm or two, and then try to have intercourse. Since she's already been satisfied, it won't really matter how long you last, and you won't feel pressure to live up to anything, and you can just enjoy yourself.

It is fairly normal though, guys psych themselves out a lot. Smile

Wow, that's pretty insightful. I never would've thought of that, but it does make sense. I'm also going to try different condoms - the ones I have are a tad small and tight, so the sensitivity level is very high. But I will take your idea into strong consideration too. Thanks!

So I tried it out and no luck, but still made some progress. We did it and again we both came at the same time (after about 5 minutes). I was ready to go again another 5 minutes later but she got tired and asked me to stop after another 10 minutes. I said to her "I think we're making progress" and she got upset and told me to stop analyzing sex with her and promised me that she was more than satisfied. She came, I came, and she didn't think twice about the performance. So I will take her word for it (but that won't keep me from doing what I can to make it even better for her). I'm learning to focus more on other things, like the sound of the fan in her room, things like that - things that will help me not focus so much on how great it feels.

That sounds good!

Like I said, as long as she gets hers, she won't be concerned about your "performance" because she'll be satisfied. And I agree with her, don't try analyze every time and turn it into a science. Just find ways to satisfy both of you and enjoy yourself.
