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.
