Latin declensions. This has actually gotten better as I slowly forget all the latin I learned 5 years ago. One can not reach the big o when trying to determine what the plural dative of nomen is. Fortunatly most of the time I’m having sex I’m thinking of having sex rather than latin. But every once in a while I need to be distracted for 15 seconds. After that I’m good to go. ---

Yeah, it’s not an every time kind of need… but sometimes she makes it clear that she isn’t quite _ready_ right now but might be in a little bit. I pick a large number and subtract sequentially increasing prime numbers from it. ---

I know I’m not speaking for all women, but as one for whom actual intercourse feels damn good but doesn’t get me anywhere at all, I honestly don’t care if it’s really short. Foreplay, however, is required. Lots of it. Mmmmm. ---

Count me as another one who thinks that thinking about other things is defeating the purpose. If you’re coming too fast, try masturbating more often. ---

Foreplay, however, is required. Lots of it. Mmmmm. Amen, sisters! This has really been a problem with the guy I am seeing now. It goes on and on and on and on forever, and I start getting sore and stiff and tired… and I am just ready for it to be over. Finally, one time I had to say “I can’t go anymore,” and I rolled over and passed out. I felt bad for doing it, but dammit, I just couldn’t go anymore. Honestly, a good 10-15 minutes of actual intercourse is perfect. Anything more is a bit too much. ---

Some suggestions that might be helpful: Concentrate on pleasing your partner rather than what is going on with you and how good it feels. Have lots of foreplay with your partner…if your partner is female, please realize that many women don’t orgasm from penetration, but rather from other stimulation (clitoral, etc) Most women don’t want hours of pounding away. Some do, however. YMVV. Once your partner is “satisfied”, then go for it…with gusto! If you have premature ejaculation, there are techniques to help. Do a little research and you will find ways to help this, especially if your partner is willing to help. Masterbating before the main event is definitely helpful, especially if you are in the full bloom of youth. Hope this helps…and BTW, I think you will find that most women are very understanding and are willing to help, so talk to your parter. Best wishes. ---

All right, wait a sec guys, I think I’m giving myself a bad rap here. (MY fault) I’m a 34yo male. Usually when I go at it with my partner it’s not a problem because nine times out of ten it’s normaly after dinner and maybe a couple of drinks. So after a couple of drinks my stability really isn’t a problem. My deal is like those times when you wake up in the morning roll over to your partner, start making out then actually go at it for a “quickie” before work. -And although I do use the vernacular “quickie” I still try to be courteous and let her get satisfied before I do. It’s times like that when its REALLY hard. (no pun intended heh, heh,) to hold out. Still I appreciate the advice given. ---
