> [@nashiitashii](#): > > RE: Chafing-- I’ve had that happen on several occasions, and most of the time it’s a matter of the other party having something distracting them from their goal. Whether it be “I need some water” or “my knees/back/legs/etc. hurt” or “I think I need the lights to be brighter/dimmer”, it’s enough of a distraction to make finishing tougher. It doesn’t mean I don’t whine about being chafed and uncomfortable the next day, though, as it really hurts when it happens and very little seems to help. Yep. Have experienced same, unfortunately, mostly with selfish or impatient lovers who think foreplay is a waste of time. There are physical reasons for the delay, too, such as drinking alcohol or using or abusing drugs. Here’s a link to an interesting article on delayed ejaculation: [Delayed ejaculation: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia](http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001954.htm) and there are lots more out there by googling. For those of you who are still chafing and bored, most of those articles suggest that a round of sex therapy is in order for both partners. I’m just saying… :rolleyes: ---

As a bloke heres my two pennorth. Sex is in the mind, its not the pumping away that achieves orgasm but what is going through your minds. So if its purely an ignorant oaf pounding away then obviously the woman wants to get it over with as quickly as possible, if however she’s actually enjoying it; then endurance, as it were, can be a good thing. Most men have an incredible ability to rationalise their own profficiency in sex. They all think that they may not last long but its the most incredible experience that the woman they’re with has ever experienced. They may not perform very often but their woman is waiting in breathless anticipation when they do their once a week duty fresh from the pub on friday night. A hell of a lot of them couldn’t find a clitoris, if they were given an Ato Z street map, that foreplay is something footballers do before a tackle and that if a woman starts moaning and gasping then she’s having an orgasm rather then trying desperately to get it over with. Little tip here, both sexes when they orgasm get a red flush on their chests, no flush no orgasm. And then they’re gobsmacked when their wives either have affairs or leave them. Boo hoo my heart bleeds purple piss for them. As an aside my ex missus told me that her mum used to think about her shopping list when her dad was doing his duty,we were never very formal or serious, quite often when making love; and often laughed alot (LOOK it wasn’t about the size of my penis OK!) She would half way through our lovemaking say"tin of peas, large". But she also picked up on my listening to news on the radio because of my job, while on the job and would say you’re listening to that. Well thats my take,feel free to disagree with me I’m always willing to learn. If you’re wondering why I split up with my missus it was because she couldn’t stand the job. That and my being incredibly ugly and having a very small penis…and no dress sense…and the warts I suppose , and the gay lover might have contributed to the problem. ---

I have only once wished for a finish, and it was because he was so big it was painful (note: this was about my fourth time of having sex, age 32) but other times and partners, its never been more than 5 minutes so; no. ---

My first time, I was watching the clock pretty much the whole time. ---

That’s only happened to me once or twice, and alcohol almost certainly was to blame. Yeah, I got bored (and sore.) Suggesting that he stop, however, was met with the same derision as suggesting that he ask someone for directions. Utter disbelief, as if I’d suggested that he didn’t know what he was doing. There’s more than one reason he’s my ex. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/women-do-you-ever-get-bored-during-intercourse/538338.md?page=2)
