Why do some males last longer before ejaculating than others?

Asked by jca (36062points) November 5th, 2009

why are some men “minute men” and others last longer? if it cannot be helped, then why does it seem somewhat shameful or embarassing for men if they come quickly?

Stamina, as well experience and frequency of sexual activity.

If you’re used to stimulation “down there”, you won’t pop quite as easily.

It isn’t even that. You have to learn how to control it. Everyone is different, you have to figure out the things that make you last longer. For example, I go a lot more quickly if I am laying down… any other position it gets progressively longer. Standing up, I can last forever.

Everyone is indeed different… there are certain things you can do to train yourself… but I’m not going to get into that here. It just takes a lot of self control.

Thats as far as I can go without getting too graphic.

There is some speculation that premature ejaculation was in fact adaptive at one time in our history, as fast copulations left one less vulnerable to predation.

That having been said, it is a phenomenon that is easy to control and to change if it it causing someone distress. There are several techniques in the literature which can be self-administered, or administered by one’s sexual partner.

Practice makes perfect.

That’s right @pdworkin. The reason that we are here is because our ancestors ran faster, ate faster, and f’d faster than the competition. McDonald’s drive through window is actually promoting our bloodline with every chicken mcnugget served.

Im pretty sure it can be helped. In my experience, which is vast and knowledgable in the ways of men, if you want to last longer you should practice. I can go in 30 seconds or last for three hours. What crumby science book told you it cant be helped?

this should be a course taught at about 16!

I can last several hours, but sometimes, this is a curse. Anyone can be trained to be better than a minute man, and all it takes is the desire to do so. There have been countless books written on the subject, and I would write my own, but it’d be more fun to take a hands-on approach.

Most men can train themselves to last longer. There are even special Fleshlights to help in this endeavor. I think it may be “shameful” because quick ejaculation conjures up the image of an inexperienced, bumbling teenager… so the men feel embarrassed at the lack of control and the women may look negatively on it, as well (notice I said “may”.. I have a feeling men are harder on themselves about this kind of sexual performance than are women).

In my opinion, there is a happy medium and definitely the ends of the spectrum are “lasts too short” and “lasts too long”. A girl gets sore after a while, ya know? I don’t think I could deal with someone going for like an hour or two straight with no breaks. Owie.

masturbating is the cause i would say.

you start around 13 or 14 years old, while living with your parents. the idea is to not get caught. so you try to get the job done as soon as possible. after several years this habbit will lead to premature ejaculation.

for me personally it varies quit a bit, i have no idea what my deal is. sometimes it takes me all of 5 minutes, others it takes a good 40 to an hour.

but without getting too graphical, what i have learned to do is wait 5 minutes for the poor old bugger to have a rest and then go at it again. if the first one was only a 5 minute job, the next one will take 30 or 40 at least for sure.

There are also exercises you can do to help you control it a little more, kind of like how women have kegels. Well guys have it too and it helps prolong it, and make it stronger and more intense when you do pop one off.

I don’t know, but I… ugh… nmf

I’m afraid to click on that at work… but I want to know what is there haha

it’s relatively tame

More to the point. Why don’t women come much more quickly? XD I’ve learned over the years to control myself so that we can both have.. some fun.. and for the most part I don’t mind the extra time.. it’s more enjoyable when the “grand finale” is postponed. Sometimes, however, I admit that it feels like a chore and I wish she was able to go faster. Quickies are awesome at times too.

So I guess the bottom line is that men should train to last longer and it wouldn’t hurt for women to train to be faster (not always.. just sometimes).

Is there a “Game” on TV?

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

@boffin Well if I was having sex with the tv on and the Cubs happened to win the pennant.. I would probably push her off and start cheering at the tv…. ejaculation or no. xD
