Hmm, I had wondered if there is something wrong with me at many points in my life. I don’t know if I can call it “control” or something else. All I know is that about 3/4 of the times I have had sex (estimation), I have not had a noticeable orgasm (if I had it, I didn’t notice it). The other times, she usually has to stop after an hour. You would think this is a good thing, but it goes true for felaltio as well. I don’t know how many times I had to come up with some reason why I didn’t come. It isn’t the girls fault, I think I get nervous with her down there or something. One even cried and said she apparently wasn’ t that good at it. Sorry, it isn’t you, I can’t ejaculate! (it’s rare anyway) _sob_ Is there a medical term for this? ---

More anecdotal evidence: Successful use for three years. (now she’s on a BC patch, and incidentally married to me =P) ---

I think that would be some kind of “retarded ejaculation.” Sorry about the cringeworthy name–I sure as hell didn’t choose it. It can occur with different acts with different guys. I’ve known some who wouldn’t come from blow jobs ever, but barely last any time at all with intercourse. And vice versa. The thing is, from what I have read, it isn’t that pre-come contains sperm itself. It’s that some sperm left over from the last ejaculation might still be hanging around in the urethra, and the pre-come washes them out of there, so to speak. ---

A friend of mine had this problem. He had a hydrocele, though. I’m pretty sure you’d know if you did.
