What is the problem? Your sex life is great. She's happy. Why fix what isn't broken? There's no pill to make you last. You can jerk off before hand, or just make her cum several times before you start having sex. A lot of women actually start to grow uncomfortable after 10 to 15 minutes of penetration. And more isn't always better.

If you don't want to believe your wifes opinion that its fine, read the sticky called "The Program". Its under the Married and LTR sub forum

As a female around your age:

**As long as she's getting off, assume she only cares how long you last to the extent that it bothers you. In other words, she wants you to have everything you need, but as long as she gets everything she needs too, your duration really doesn't matter. To repurpose a line from a movie, "she didn't marry your penis....okay, she didn't ONLY marry your penis".
**If you can describe your sex life as great, Ducy's right, why fix what ain't broken.
**I never have gotten this concept of pounding for hours. What's the point? So neither of us can walk the next morning because of jelly-leg?

As Ducy said, if you really feel you need to change something, find The Program and Body Worship threads. But you sound pretty normal and pretty healthy to me.

You mean you don't like jelly legs? Rofl

Marathon sessions are what turn into the most interesting and experimental times! I remember I couldn't finish and so we tried standing with me holding her up, her on top with me doing a bridge (basically lifting her up with my hips and holding her up while bouncing her) standing 69, handstand (me doing a handstand while 69'ing and a variation of doggy style where she wraps her legs around me and I held her hips while standing.

Greatest workout I ever had, and when I finally came security got called from the noise haha

Welcome to the SI101 Board an its Forums. I hope you will enjoy participating.

This topic has been discussed quite a bit over the years and always with the same recommendations. Here is a link to thread from just over a week ago that you should read.

Here is a link to a similar thread from January.

The common theme is that many women report that if intercourse lasts longer than about ten minutes, they become SORE, bored, and, tired. If the two of you want to prolong your love making, we recommend taking periodic breaks, returning to making out a bit, then continuing with intercourse. You can do this while still engaged and/or pulling out and reinserting, later.

The stop and start technique that you have been using works well, as does the squeeze technique. Let me suggest that instead of actually stopping your stroking, that you slow down the action. The psychological benefit is that you are not stopping what you are doing, rather, that you are changing pace in order to let your sense of urgency subside. Once you have slid down your arousal curve a bit, you can then pick up the pace, repeating as necessary.

A third method to try is described in this article and is an exercise the two of you can work on, together.

> perhaps some sort of pill? or do i need to wack it ten times a day so i can last for my wife.

No, once is enough, whether your early climax comes from masturbating an hour or so before making love, or as a part of your foreplay. Keep in mind that good etiquette dictates that we help our partner achieve an orgasm, first, before us--and last, if she desires. In between the two of you can enjoy as many as you want.

As you probably know by now, very few sexual positions place a woman's pieces-parts in constant contact with her man's pubic mound sufficient to bring about her climax(es) without some help. What a skilled, knowledgeable, caring, lover will do is to reach around and finger her while stroking. So, if you are stroking and stroking in order to build her arousal and not making much progress, try fingering her in addition, or use a different position. (Please refer to the site's Home Page for more on this. You will find many animated illustrations!)

I am surprised that you are experiencing what you perceive as a reduction in your staying power. Generally this happens with teens and fellas in their early twenties. By the time you get to the other end of the decade and into your thirties, your staying power should be extending itself naturally. Interesting. NOTE: there are no pills that you can take to slow you down. Condoms work, so too does the cream that deadens the nerves in your penis; however, I do not recommend the latter when you have all these other tried and true methods.

Please begin your participation with us on the site by reading the articles listed in the Index. It contains helpful informative insightful, as well as how-to articles that discuss the most common questions and concerns people ask about. The two of you might find value in reading all of them, discussing what you have learned, and then adding the information to what each of you already knows. Making love is not what we do to each other; rather, what we do with and for each other in partnership. Explore and learn, together.

I hope this and the other replies have been helpful. Got questions?

No, Ducy, with the number of stairs that are in my life, I don't like jelly legs.
