Long story short me and OH have DTD every 2nd day since last monday because i was due to ovulate this week and the past 2 times we have DTD hes struggled to finish and ended up having to w**k and then finish inside me, has anybody elses partner perhaps maybe felt alot of pressure? Im putting it down to him not having the highest of sex drives and being tired from work. I can see in his face he feels like hes let me down and i feel guilty for it, he already has a DD and we have been trying for 7 months so i feel like its starting to get to him just as much as me

My DH has a lower sex drive too, trying to DTD as much as is needed is quite hard on him. I’m tracking my cycle as much as possible with OPKs and temping so we can try and aim more for the days just before ovulation as much as possible, rather than trying to go every other day for two weeks. I’ve also ‘prepared myself’ a few times to speed things up. We have lovely sex but when there’s a need to be more in control of it some creativity is necessary!

Our sex is lovely aswell and i try to relax him as much as possible. We have took the approach sex every other day throughout my cycle as im trying to not do opks ect as i felt it was putting us both on edge with doing it when was needed rather than doing it when we wanted too. Hes never had a problem finishing except these last 2 times

Yep! He's convinced it's work stress and he's on medication which can make you last longer anyway. I'm convinced it's actually cause he knows I'm ovulating and I've said I'm just not gonna tell him anymore. He has no issues finishing any other time throughout my cycle so it's deffo performance anxiety. Honestly I've tried everything and it's just not happening. Like I said, not telling him next cycle so we'll see if it works!
