435: GirlTalk: What's she really thinking (and feeling) when he cums too fast?

Ever lie there afterward wondering what she’s really thinking? The romantic night is all set up -- the hotel, the champagne, the view -- and your d*ck doesn’t cooperate. Or it’s over in three minutes. Again.

Here, we back the curtain on what it’s actually like from HER side of the sheets. What have women internalized about how their sex appeal relates to his "performance"? My guest share about her 13-year past relationship where PE was never really discussed, as well as a deeply attuned current partner who did one simple thing early on that changed everything for her.

Premature ejaculation (PE), erectile dysfunction (ED), and delayed ejaculation (DE) are some of the most common sexual struggles men face -- yet they're rarely discussed, even in men's groups. And for many, the go-to fix doesn't even work: according to a meta-analysis in Andrology, almost 50% of men who start on ED meds stop taking them within a year. A pill isn’t the whole story.

But don’t worry -- there’s way more possible here than you’ve been led to believe.

Whether you lose your erection halfway through, you finish before things have really gotten going, you avoid initiating because you’re scared of what’ll happen, or you’ve just stopped bringing it up at all, trouble in the bedroom is common. But with the right guidance, it can change.

If you’ve been quietly white-knuckling your way through sex, or avoiding it altogether, this one’s for you.
