Ejaculation

Hey I've been seeing my new boyfriend for about 3 months, I'm starting to fall for him. The only one issue is he does not ejaculate when we have sex, I have asked him about this and he says, he doesn't always and h3 think he could be mentally blocking it out,

A man who can't ejaculate now 100% will become a dead bedroom in the future.

I'd say he has a porn fetish if he says he can come alone but not with you. He's basically admitted it.

This is a huge red flag.

Interesting take, a man who can't orgasm with his new partner is a red flag? Can you say a bit more about what a red flag means to you and why this might be one?

Sex is weird and humans are complicated and this doesn't mean a thing other than right now he's not reaching orgasm when you have sex and that doesn't need to be a problem if it's not a problem. As people get older sex changes, this is a fact and none of us are immune to it. If you're binning perfectly decent relationships because of things like this it's a lonely old life you'll be looking at.

Well yes, that's probably true... if they were with someone with your attitude and prejudices!

Moier · 16/01/2024 11:26

His age.. probably ED..
Could be prostate too.. he needs to see his GP.
For people saying " she's picked a winner" etc.. don't be cruel.
It's definitely medical.

A man dates a woman who struggles to orgasm, 100% dead bedroom in the future ?

Would dump her and run be the given advice?

northernlight20 · 16/01/2024 12:31

Op, probably nerves. My dh was the same the first few months of being together. No issues now and lasts longer. We’re on our 40s

ManHereSorry · 16/01/2024 13:00

Poor bloke. Not only can he not have an orgasm he also has loads of women who don’t know him accusing him of being addicted to porn and trying to get him dumped.

OP does he ever get close to an orgasm during sex or is there just nothing?

harerunner · 16/01/2024 13:26

I think there's a view that if sex isn't totally amazing and without any complications from the get go - along with everything else in the relationship being blissful and perfect - then the relationship should be binned.

The problem with that is that these relationships develop and mature without any need for real communication, discussion or need to show patience or kindness.... But there comes a point in every relationship where these things are needed - the honeymoon never lasts forever - and if you haven't established whether you can navigate these kind of things successfully in the early stages of a relationship, then it can all go wrong, and often very painfully because bonds have been established and love has grown.

There's something to be said for things not being too perfect in the early days... you learn far more about real long term compatibility through managing these things than you do living in a dreamy honeymoon perfection, and yes, often it doesn't work and the issues are too big, but at least you're not in too deep by that point....

And anyone who insists on such "Disney" perfection risks a lot of disappointment, either at the start of relationship, when good men are binned, or a few months/years in when that "perfect" relationship unravelled as you actually face some real life difficulties that you can't resolve between you.

Mine usually didn't- similar age. His erections lasted ages, and it's the best sex I've ever had. He obviously had at some point, as he has two teenage children from his marriage. He was so much better than men who came quickly, and men with ED, who couldn't keep it up. He said it was mostly psychological, about trust, and the first time he did ejaculate inside me, he was cock-a-hoop about it. It happened other times, too, but not often (and we practised a lot!) I didn't see it as a problem, and he was definitely enjoying himself, even when he didn't cum.

If he doesn't have a problem with it, carry on and enjoy.

That’s so positive and a great attitude to have, it’s not a problem unless people make it a problem. He knew what was causing it too. Is it still the same now?

EBearhug · 16/01/2024 18:35

It's not the same, because he dumped me, but gor reasons unconnected to sex, so I assume he's much the same.

MiddleagedBeachbum · 16/01/2024 18:38

Two of my exes learnt how NOT to ejaculate - it’s makes sex fab and based far more around the journey and woman than men who focus on cumming

EBearhug · 16/01/2024 19:37

Oh yes, I've had a couple of guys who practise edging.

PossumintheHouse · 16/01/2024 19:41

The boyfriend I had that this issue admitted that he watched a huge amount of porn. He’d basically gotten used to finishing in his own way.

I think that can happen with any guy who doesn't have sex for a while, irrespective of whether they use porn, as practically all men masturbate. It's not really any different from getting used to cumming using a vibrator during sex famines... PIV is a different experience!

However, porn will make matters worse, possibly much worse... Not only is there the different physical sensation, but constantly filling your head with porn must make the whole visual sensation different too, not to mention focussing on stuff like group sex or anal, which distances the mind even further from normal sexual experience.

EBearhug · 16/01/2024 23:40

Don't think I can add to what's been said in this thread. I don't have a problem with no ejaculation. Others might.

dorisdaydidnitdodirtydeeds · 16/01/2024 23:41

Long time not in a relationship leads to
masturbation and massive porn habit leads to
early relationship problems with ejaculation leads to
viagra leads to
stiff for hours leads to
no ejaculation leads to
sexless marriage
i would bet.

EBearhug · 17/01/2024 00:18

Rather Viagra than ED or PE.

Yes, that's so true for some posters! I know men can be shit and women are best off without them.... but the same is true the other way round too in some cases. There seem some women (perhaps for understandable reasons based on their past) that are so cynical and automatically negative about men that men are best off steering well clear.

The attitude of some seems to be unless a man routinely and reliably
a) gets it up
b) keeps it up
c) doesn't cum too quickly
d) doesn't cum too slowly
e) is responsible for making me cum every time,
... then he's a pathetic inadequate and should be unceremoniously binned...

There's also the posters who just make stuff up and completely exaggerate about what other posters say 😉

Some of the replies on here are shocking. Of course you shouldn't leave him because of this - would you encourage a man to leave a woman who had vaginismus?

OP it couple be nerves but that usually gets better after they get used to a new partner and develop more confidence.

Does he drink much? This can be a big issue. My husband used to experience this sometimes, but now he is 100% sober, if anything he has to focus to avoid the opposite issue! Honestly, amazing the change it makes.

I'd encourage anyone, male or female to consider a relationship very carefully with someone who had vaginismus or ED etc from the start especially if sex was important to them. They have to consider the possibility that things may not improve and may even get worse and they may never have a 'normal' sex life.

Why can't you ask about it in the thread? It's anonymous after all. And you'll get the benefit of more than one response. Given that I can't see any need for a PM, it feels quite creepy for a random man to try and initiate a private conversation with a woman he doesn't know about a sensitive sexual topic.

Interesting, but I'm struggling with the logic of "stiff for hours" leads to "sexless marriage". If a guy is stiff for hours I'm pretty sure he'll genuinely want to use it, irrespective of how easily he ejaculates! 😂

harerunner · 17/01/2024 07:11

100% this ^^ so what if he cannot finish, no fuss & no mess, enjoy the sex

Imagine a man saying that! He'd be called selfish for not caring.
