How's your health? What is your stress level? Are you staying properly hydrated? How's your diet? Are you exercizing? Are you getting adequate rest? Are you thinking too much about yourself during sexual congress?

As you grow more comfortable and the first rush wears off, your relationship calms down; sometimes men forget to take care of themselves. You are NOT a machine. Stop expecting to be a machine.

Look at how you're living and make changes, one at a time, to see which gives you a positive outcome.

Erections come and erections go. Frequently, we receive a post from guys, and sometimes their girlfriend, stating that his erection waned all too soon and that brought the proceedings to a premature end. My reply is "WHY"?

What does every red blooded boy do to maintain an erection? Stroke it. Well, when there is a partner in the proceedings, there are additional options. My question is what are one or the other of you doing to reestablish an erection when it begins to go away?

If the two of you are engaging in long extended make out sessions then it is unrealistic to presume that an erection will last and last. If more stimulation direct and indirect fail, just fall back, recoup and regroup so to speak, by continuing the necking and petting giving your body time to bounce back. See, things do not have to end, just continue at a different pace with some different tactics.

Pheromones were flying in the early stages of the relationship, your emotions were on high and as the relationship matures, so does our "chemistry". I recommend devoting lots of time to making out before ever getting to the Foreplay stage and when ready for intercourse, make certain you have been brought to the brink of loosing control by all the Foreplay stuff. If you are not having intercourse and stopping with Foreplay, then all that activity should keep you erect. Still, as mentioned, they do seemingly have a mind of their own so just rebuild it or give your body some time, first, while continuing to make love.
