I totally understand the frustration, especially when you know you're capable of more but just can’t seem to last long enough. I’ve been in that same position, and it really got to me for a while. One thing I found useful was working on my mental game. There’s this concept I came across about “desensitizing” yourself gradually—basically, not putting so much emphasis on holding back, which paradoxically makes it easier. I also found that breathing exercises really helped me stay calm. Deep, slow breaths can keep your arousal levels from escalating too quickly.
Along with mental strategies, I also practiced more frequent solo sessions. I know it sounds kind of simple, but really focusing on lasting longer during solo play without the pressure of a partner helped me fine-tune my self-control. Over time, I noticed that the more I practiced, the more aware I became of my body's signals and what I could do to hold back. It also reduced the “rush” that came from just being too eager.
Another thing worth considering is having open communication with your partner. It’s awesome that your girlfriend is supportive, and I found that talking about the issue with my partner made a huge difference. Being transparent about it removes a lot of the mental pressure and lets both of you focus on enjoying the moment instead of worrying about timing. You can also experiment with different techniques together, like taking more breaks or shifting focus, which can make the experience more enjoyable for both.
Finally, be patient with yourself. It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress. Every time you work on this, you’re building a better understanding of your body and mind, and that will pay off in the long run.
