Ask a Question
Question:
Hi Dr. Birch, I am 23 years old, fairly healthy: I lift weights three times a week, eat well, drink lots of water (my only bad habit is smoking 10 cigarettes per day) I am concerned because I feel like my ejaculations takes too long (during intercourse 10-25 minutes), during intercourse and masturbation they don't exceed one time (I lose arousal to finish my second or sometimes I'm aroused but I get tired of it and it feels like work), and finally my quantity of semen is not too high.

Answer:
by Robert Birch: ()
The vast majority of men only ejaculate once during a session, and if most of your male friends are telling you that they are have three or four, be very very skeptical!
As you probably know, the complaint of most men when it comes to ejaculation is that they are reaching orgasm too fast. When sex becomes work or becomes irritating to the woman, it can certainly be a problem. If your frequency of intercourse is high, that could slow you down. If you are not getting enough stimulation during intercourse, that could cause a delay. There might not be much you can do, other than watch your frequency and try a variety of positions. If you are being slowed down by the use of condoms, do not stop using them, but put a little water-soluble lubrication INSIDE so that you slide a little (but not so much that the condom slides off)! If you are taking any medications (even over-the-counter) ask a pharmacist about possible sexual side effects.
A concern with the volume of ejaculate was mentioned. Why would this be a concern? I don't know that women are impressed by a quart of semen. Quantity of semen has nothing to do with virility or sperm count.
