For most of my life - premature ejaculation was more of an issue that delayed ejaculation. But as I've gotten older I sometimes experience the issue with delay.

For me this issue is can I maintain an erection long enough?

For my wife she frets about being too lose or too wet from natural or applied lubrication. I reassure her that it's not about her - its about me, so she's a little less anxious about it when it happens.

We're dealing - sometimes persistence pays off, others I just give up, give her a hug and reassure her that I very much enjoyed our time together. less

We experienced this for several (5+) years. Most of the time it just meant longer sex and more thrusting, which is the best part anyways! (at least to me, it allowed me to orgasm several times before he could finish ) Then again, there were certainly times when it started to get irritating, both physically for my vaginal opening, and often emotionally. One of us would get frustrated that it was taking so long, which of course made it even harder for him to orgasm, or we would run out of energy and give up before he could finish. We both dealt with it emotionally, I wondered if it was my fault, and he often felt like a failure. Thankfully, a combination of weight loss and testosterone gel has made a huge difference. less
