Maybe not, but...: "Delayed," "fast," and "quick" are all relative descriptors, meaning those words mean different things to different people. Even for the two people involved, one person may have a much different perception of what each of these words mean than the other person has. One's primary care doctor can discuss all the details and offer help.

Don't rush things, and learn to control your climax. This will help you prevent premature ejaculation when you eventually do have a wife. I'm also glad you're thinking ahead. Best wishes.
