I'm not sure if this is a big issue or not, but I can't really control how long I last before ejaculating. It's like, I finish in about two to three minutes, and it's kind of embarrassing when I'm with my partner. Do you have any tips or exercises, maybe even some kind of lotion or technique, that could help me last longer so I can enjoy the experience more fully?
