Question 5

i have premature ejaculations. even my gf has begun to complain now cause of which i run away from sex now. i avoid her and losing interest in sex. pl?

Accepted Answer

At your age this: is likely more about the relationship dynamics in general and anxiety, specifically.   Try non-demand sensual pleasuring (a la Master's and Johnson) and some relaxation (massage) without sexual expectation.   Try pleasuring your partner in non-intercourse ways until she has some satisfaction, and then think about intercourse.   Take the pressure off, talk about it, and see a sex therapist PRN.

Join others: Retired people sometimes have a hard time switching from working with a schedule, other people to talk to, and expectations to hobbies or more leisure activities that do not have a structure to guide them.  Explore interesting activities with other people.  Spend time with frinds or family. It may be depression. You may need to talk to a therapist.  See an md to see if it is a medical problem.
