Lasts too long in bed, get rid?

Been on a few of dates with a colleague. Not had sex yet, was internally planning on it.

When discussing sex a few days ago, he sort of pre warned me that he lasts notoriously long. Usually not far off an hour.

I know, men say this to show off. But he said it knowing that I was soon going to find out. Plus, it was prompted by me saying that sex over an hour is too long for me.

AIBU or is that a ridiculous amount of time? I don't want to be having sex for that long?! I feel like cutting it off already, before having to endure that.

I don't know. I've never been on that board. I've heard its inundated with pervy men pretending to be women and that would be annoying.

Yeah, must all be pervy men. Because feminist ladies don't like sex.

Him discussing sex only a few dates in, is a huge red flag

I brought up the topic of sex

Oh no! You've red-flagged yourself. Watch out!

What he means is that he broke his dick (and his brain) with porn. I'd get rid.

Yep been down this path. Eventually they can't be arsed either and it all goes to pot.

Could he do it from behind? That way you could get few emails sent and do an online shop?

LMAO!

Well if you're speaking for yourself as a 'feminist lady' I wouldn't presume to argue with you. I'm sure you have other interests.

And that's how you get unwanted items in the basket.

Made my day! 🤣

ijustneedtokeepbreathing · 16/12/2024 15:30

I think it depends how enjoyable that hour would be and what would happen during the 60 mins. Someone just grinding away for an hour . . . . Forget it. But if that includes changes in position, changes in tempo etc then if it was fun and I enjoyed it then an hour would be fine by me. I mean, there are worse ways to spend an hour, no?! 😂

Oioisavaloy27 · 16/12/2024 15:31

You could have several in that time why would you want to dump?

No, it was a reference to 'nice ladies don't like sex' in your post.

He may suffer from delayed ejaculation.

This is what I thought too - might be going quite hard too, if this is the case.

UniqueOP · 16/12/2024 15:38

I've been sex-starved for years, between being trapped in a sexless marriage and then single. SEND HIM MY WAY!!! 🤗

🤣

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 16/12/2024 15:38

My best friend told me her and her DH were having sex for five hours one night. Ali asked if they watched Gone with the Wind in the middle of it. Sounds dreadful to me, but I’m a bit of a bloke about sec, I don’t like foreplay, I find it boring and it takes too long. All that stroking eurgh

GoldsolesLugs · 16/12/2024 15:33

No, it was a reference to 'nice ladies don't like sex' in your post.

Which was a reference to old school thinking that it wasn't fitting for women to enjoy sex. It makes no sense when applied to feminist women who would obviously reject that type of mysogynist thinking.

UniqueOP · 16/12/2024 15:39

MounjaroOnMyMind · 16/12/2024 13:50

True, but I think someone who's taking meds that cause a problem is more likely to say that's why they take so long.

He might not want to tell her that he's on meds though.

He said that doesn't include foreplay.

So needs about an hour of PIV sex to finish.

Sod that....

Yes, you'd think so, but there's a distinct second-wavey smell of "all penetrative sex is rape" around here. People don't exactly say it but it's there in some attitudes. That's what I was getting at.

GiddyRobin · 16/12/2024 15:42

This is a difficult one! An hour every time of pure pumping away PIV? That could be dull, depending on how good he is. I can happily do up to two hours/hour and a half if some of that includes foreplay, and the sex itself is more than just hammering away frantically trying to finish. Change of positions, maybe toys, blah blah blah.

But every time? Nope. I like sex to be different! Sometimes a proper quickie, sometimes in between, sometimes a long shagathon. I've dated men who either finish in 5 seconds OR hammer away for hours every time, and that'd be a no for me. An hour every time would just feel like it had to be scheduled - what would happen to an early morning shag before work and school run?!

I'd try it out in your shoes, but if he's crap and just going at it like he's trying to break your insides then I'd be throwing him back! Usually a sign of too much porn when they can't control themselves enough to read the room.

Blueybingobanditchilli · 16/12/2024 12:36

I don’t think I could mentally psych myself up for this OP 😂 I’d bring it up again and say are you joking? I think I’d have to break if off with him.

After an hour, I’d be surprised if it didn’t break off tbh.

JustAboutMuddlingThrough · 16/12/2024 15:43

An hour?! I'd be bored shitless!!

BunnyLake · 16/12/2024 15:45

Does he mean he’ll be humping away for an hour? Sounds tedious.

WinterBones · 16/12/2024 15:46

JacquesHarlow · 16/12/2024 14:24

No @5128gap that is not what I meant by "having an imagination".

It's painfully clear what I meant (being a sexual being, without apology) but I can see I'm in the wrong side of the forum, and that as a British middle-aged woman, I should stick my head right back into the 1950s and just pray it doesn't take too long.

Thanks again.

i'd rather take My 'Takes an Hour' lover who spent that hour (and longer) blowing my mind and leaving me a happy, sweaty, mess, than a couple of my exes who were '2 pumps and done' who'd roll over and snore any day of the week.

But i get that isn't for everyone, and life would be boring if we were all the same.

He said that doesn't include foreplay.

So needs about an hour of PIV sex to finish.

Is he taking opiates? ( prescription?)
That can really interrupt orgasm in both sexes.

An hour of him pumping away?

Not for me, thanks.

Tedious.
