DH has trouble............finishing

I am new to post here and not sure what all is acceptable to say.  I am really going crazy about this.  I feel like a bad wife and women in general.  We have sex just fine but DH can't ever finish.  This is even true if I do a BJ.  He says its not me but of course that doesn't make me feel any better.  This is a new problem and has not always been the case.  I do kegels, have read a ton of articles on new things to try....ways to make hot...etc.  I'm getting worried that he has something negative to say to me but is too nice to say it.

 Has anyone ever been in this situation?  Thanks for listening.

Re: DH has trouble............finishing

  • Yep, we've had this same issue. I don't really have any advice because I've never really found a solution. It seems like it's gotten somewhat better, but it still happend occassionally. While I'd never let him know, it's killed my self- esteem. I can't help but think that it must be me.

    Good luck and I hope you find some resolution!

  • Tell him to try to stop jerking off for a few days and then have sex with him.  If this doesn't work send him to the doctor - could be a circulatory problem!
  • Is he on antidepressants?  This is a VERY common side effect of several antidepressants.

  • Thanks - good to hear that I'm not the only one.  Glad its gotten a little better on your end : )
  • No antidepressants.  I was thinking stress or something but I don't think he is really that stressed out
  • How is his digestion?  For some reason, I've noticed that this happens a lot when people are having digestive problems, too.

  • Been there, done that.  While there are many medical reasons for this (mentioned in prior posts) make sure he's not masturbating.  DH would jerk off daily after I left for work and then wonder why he could never get off later in the day.. He'd deny it over and over but it really was the problem. He quit masturbating regularly and  we've had no problems since.
  • If he's not excessively masturbating, (se above pp post) he needs to see a doc. 

    Complete physical -- he also needs to see a urologist.

    Rulingout anything organically wrong  it is probably psychological. See a sex therapist in his case.

  • Thanks for the replies.  Lets hope I can bring up this problem without him getting overly upset or hyper sensitive about it. 
  • Is it every time, or just occasionally? My husband has issues with delayed ejaculation; he always has, but it's an occasional thing. Just like sometimes I can't orgasm, neither can he.

    I second the posters who suggested he see a doctor to rule out any physical issues, and yes, not masturbating will help a great deal. But this might just be something that happens, and has nothing to do with you. I wouldn't let it affect you like it does. Is he still interested in sex? In foreplay? In pleasing you? If so, it isn't you.

  •   First and foremost. Do not panic, worry, blame yourself or become anxious.

      Has this problem always occured, gradually appeared or suddenly arisen ?

      Do you have big O's ?    

      DH's age?   A 35 yr old man has only a mere shadow of the drive he had at age 15. 

  • I have a lot of my married friends who are complaining about this.  For most of them, it is purely psychological.  It is really creating a lot of problems for them.
  • My DH had an issue with that and still sorta does. We found that building anticipation really works well. So we don't have sex as often as either of us would like, but it helps a lot. It still hurts my confidence, but I can only try and be understanding (which can suck sometimes).

     

  • Well, if he has a good erection and seems to have a good time while doing it, he is probably atracted to you as usual. So stop feeling guilty or loosing your self esteem!! About WHAT is causing it, there are tons of reasons, phisical and psichological. So I think the best way to fix it is to consult a prefessional.
  • We ran into this problem when we started trying to have a baby.  The stress of babymaking was getting to my husband but he declined to actually say anything about it!  He went to the doctor and was cleared of health problems and once we sat down and talked it out, he's back to normal, better most times!  Maybe there is something he's not telling you.  It's hard to bring it up, but our relationship is better now because I brought it up.
