OVER SO SOON

I only last a couple of minutes during sex with my girlfriend and don’t know why

DEAR DEIDRE: I HAVE a great relationship with my girlfriend apart from when it comes to sex.

I can only last for a couple of minutes and I don’t know why.

I’m 26 and my girlfriend is 24. We’ve been together for a year.

It's been amazing, and we used to have brilliant romps.

She’s told me that sex is really disappointing for her.

I took it badly, and the pressure now makes it worse.

I worry she might leave me if I can’t sort this out.

How do we get back to how things were before?

DEIDRE SAYS: Try to stop worrying for a start – there could be a simple reason for this.

Maybe you didn’t have sex for a while and then, when you did, the sexual tension meant you climaxed quickly.

Putting pressure on yourself is only going to make it worse.

My e-leaflet Want To Last Longer? explains self-help sex therapy you and your girlfriend can use to break this pattern.
