I’ve tried everything to make sex last longer – even numbing my penis
DEAR DEIDRE: I HAVE tried everything to make sex last longer – even numbing my manhood with anaesthetic cream.
It was never a problem in my previous relationships, but I can barely last five minutes with my current girl.
I’ve tried everything – the start-stop technique, special condoms and even herbal medicines
Once, I climaxed before we were even fully undressed. She is 25 and I am 27.
I’ve tried everything – the start-stop technique, special condoms and even herbal medicines that claim to help.

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.
I’ve pleasured myself a lot and even tried a ban to see if that would make a difference.
My girlfriend is incredibly reassuring, always telling me that it makes no difference to her whether it lasts five or 50 minutes. But I’m worried I will lose her.
DEIDRE SAYS: The average man lasts for just five minutes of intercourse. But if you’re noticing a sudden change, there may be a hidden cause.
Our sexual responses are strongly linked to our minds, so anxious thoughts about wanting to impress your partner won’t be helping.
It’s important you communicate with your girlfriend. She may need reassurance, too.
But talk to your GP to see if there is an underlying issue. And ask about the safety of any creams you are using.
