Very broad question: I deally sex should should be thought of as a very close, romantic & personal relationship.Should begin with two people who are strongly attracted to each other. Start by holding hands, later kiss if both pertners are so moved. Then partners can stroke & touch each other starting in safe areas & then possibly to more intimate areas if both are comfortable & then 1 of you will know what comes next.

Not sure.: That depends on why you weren't having it to start with. And of course, "can" and " should" aren't the same thing.

Premature Ejaculator: This is a very frustrating situation for both the man and his partner.
There are two common approaches. One is to actually start the man on a low dose medication that has a side effect of prolonging ejaculation.
And there are plenty of sex therapists and other experts that can work with your partner on practicing how to prolong the time it takes to ejaculate...To learn some techniques....

Decline or decay: Technically, the word decadent means declining or decaying. In "adult literature" decadent sex usually describes sex that is more desirable due to being excessively "dirty". Either way, it's not a medical term.

How to have great sex?

Dr. Robert Killiananswered
General Practice 30 years experience
Sexual activity: Great sex comes with experience and a deep and intense relationship with a partner.
Good sexual relations can come with safe experimentation and communication with a partner ready to connect with you.
Do not be afraid to talk with your partner about what works best; what is a fantasy; or what would bring your great pleasure.
