There was a time when your bedroom romps involved multiple steps, plenty of giggling, and passion. You felt as though you really could explore each other in the bedroom, and that it ultimately brought you closer together as a couple.
But as of late, it almost feels as though your partner is sticking to a script. No foreplay, little kissing, in and out, and all done. What used to take an hour now takes minutes. It’s made one of your favorite activities downright boring. Could this be a sign that your partner is losing interest in you?
Not quite. If your partner is struggling with premature ejaculation, do not take it as a personal affront.
Often times when a man is afflicted with premature ejaculation, he may try to find a way to hide the problem. His “straight to business” approach in the sheets isn’t because he’s no longer attracted to you; it’s simply to get it over with and hide his embarrassing problem.
Premature ejaculation is a deeply personal issue for a man, and can lead to feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy. When you’re robbed of being able to pleasure your partner, it can be embarrassing.
So if you find your partner is rushing through sex, talk to him about his problem. Don’t point fingers, and be open to conversation. Let your partner know that he’s not alone, and that you can address this problem as a team.
There are plenty of workarounds to this problem, and a doctor could help you to get to the root of the issue. Your partner is going to need you during this difficult time. Be strong together and, after a while, your sex life should be back to normal.
