It's unclear why this happens, but scientists think it's a combination of psychological and biological factors. If you aren't able to have sex for as long as you would like, there are several strategies that can help.

The length of time a man spends having sex varies wildly based on the moment. At certain times, fast and furious is necessary, and sometimes, the longer it takes, the better it is. Of course, marathon sessions are a little less plausible for those with kids at home. So the question rears its head: How can you last longer in bed?

You could be suffering from performance anxiety, stress, premature ejaculation, or erectile dysfunction if you lose your erection during sex. The good news is that there are a variety of behavioural changes and prescription treatments which can help you last longer in bed. Practically every man will have experienced some form of performance anxiety. Normally it is nothing to worry about.

For a person with a penis, there a few things more frustrating and disappointing in life than premature ejaculation. It sucks for you, and it sucks for your partner. It's embarrassing, it's unexpected, and it turns what is supposed to be one life's greatest joys into one of life's greatest disappointments. No one wants to have to say I'm sorry at any point before, during, or after sex. But men should know that while yes, PE can be incredibly frustrating, it's also incredibly common.
