I'm really struggling with lasting longer during sex and it's been affecting my relationship. I've heard that some medications might help with controlling or delaying ejaculation, but I'm worried about whether this can actually solve the issue permanently. Can anyone give advice on how to increase the time, or if medication is a good route to take? Would appreciate any insights on this topic.

To increase sexual endurance, techniques like squeeze method, start-stop method, and practicing mindfulness can help control ejaculation. Medications like SSRIs or topical anesthetics may temporarily improve control, but they don't offer permanent solutions. Consulting a healthcare provider can help identify underlying causes and create a tailored approach.

I'm wondering if I might be dealing with premature ejaculation because I tend to ejaculate within 3 to 4 minutes when I masturbate. Is this something to be concerned about, and what can I do to manage it better? Any advice would be really appreciated.

If ur unmarried & ejaculate early during masturbation , nothing to worry. It is not required any treatment. If ur married & ejaculate early then only u need sex counselling treatment.

I'm feeling really dissatisfied with my sex life. My wife and I only manage to have sex once at night, and unfortunately, it's very shortonly around 45 minutes. I really need some advice on how to have more sex and maybe even make it last longer. I'd also love some tips on making my penis longer. Can you help?

It's important to address concerns about sexual health with a balanced approach. Focus on communication with your wife, as emotional connection can improve intimacy. You can consider techniques like the "start-stop" method to extend intercourse time, and consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice on stamina, any underlying conditions, or safe options for enhancing sexual health.
