Question:
Me and my girlfriend have been having sex for more than a year now, but i cant seem to build my sexual endurance. I can recall a couple of times when we had sex in a rush, like a quickie, and my endurance was much longer. I have come to assume that i grow very excited before we have normal intercourse. I dont know what i can do to keep this excitement down, and lengthen my sexual endurance. My girlfriend can get me off orally before we have sex, and i can go for a long time, but it often becomes a hassle to go through that process. And because i cannot go for a very long time, my girlfriend has yet to have a vaginal orgasm. Do you know of anything that i can do to enhance my endurance?

Premature ejaculation is a very common disorder that can improve or resolve by certain techniques e.g. the start –stop technique and other techniques prescribed by sex therapists. In the start stop technique, stimulation is stopped before ejaculation is inevitable & then resumed once more. The cycle is repeated over & over again. Certain prescription medications may also be used. Best wishes, Hussein Ghanem, MD
