How do women feel about PE (Premature Ejaculation)?

Discussion in 'Dating during a Reboot' started by +TenPercent, May 19, 2018.

  1. We guys seem to feel that PE is the worst thing ever, but is it really?

    I have heard that some women might actually like it, and many probably accept it.

    Why would they like it? My thoughts are this:
    1. Because it shows that they guy is really really into them, and that feels good.
    2. Some women really don't get much out of penetrative sex. Getting that over with means more time for other ways of love making.
    Does anyone else have any input into this? I would be interested in hearing from anyone with thoughts on this matter.

    I know that this is a big concern for a lot of guys on NoFap. Personally, I have only experienced PE once in my life. I had the opposite problem due to excessive masturbation and desensitisation. But now, after not masturbating for a long period of time, I am pretty much convinced that PE was probably there for me the whole time and that I will have this challenge when I eventually do have intimate encounters with a woman.

    I think it mostly depends on how you handle it, pretty much like everything. I am pretty sure most women won't like it if you break down and cry because of it, but if you handle it smoothly, heck even make fun of the situation a little bit, they will get over it. If it keeps happening then professional help may be needed.

    Exactly what danhk said!

    If afterwards you cry like a little bitch, women aren’t gonna like that. If however you can make light of the situation and add humour to it, I’m sure she wouldn’t mind, women love men that can make fun of themselves. It takes the pressure off of them a little. If it does happen then make sure you make up for it in other ways, use your hands, mouth, etc...

    If it keeps on happening then there are other steps that can be taken. Like a Kegel/reverse Kegel routine. Numbing creams, thicker condoms... and so on.

    I think the first question is when you say PE, how long are you talking? Often guys say they have PE, but then say they have lasted around 5-7 minutes, which is the average time from penetration that a man O’s, so if that’s you that’s not PE. Porn teaches guys that women want sex for hours and love it, it’s a warped view. Of course every woman is different and some do like long sessions, but the average woman is starting to count the ceiling tiles, and get bored after about 15 minutes, certainly after 30 and at an hour she’s starting to think you are not attracted to her. Not to mention, it starts to hurt. Plus in a long term relationshp I have things to do. When you have work, and kids you don’t have time for all that. I expect that all men are going to have PE the first time you have sex with them. And as a 40 yea old woman I can tell with limited exceptions that is true. And as someone who dated a man with DE, who took an hour to O and had to use his own hand, I would pick PE anyday over that. It was miserable and made me feel unattractive.
     
  5. I believe that the clinical definition is within two minutes of initial penetration. Many guys with PE struggle to last even a minute and some struggle with ejaculating before things even get started.

    Thank you. That is really helpful, practical and realistic feedback! I used to have DE thanks to excessive PMO and it rarely felt like a good thing. Most of the time I couldn't get off and convinced myself that I was more into her pleasure and generously didn't need to orgasm myself, when deep down I was frustrated and knew that my partners weren't that happy either. So, from that perspective, I'm grateful to be on the PE side of the spectrum as that seems to be a lot more natural. How odd is it that I spent years fantasising about sex and yet couldn't enjoy the real thing? Now I'm worried that I won't be able to handle the real thing but I think I will enjoy it more and it sounds like maybe my (future) partner will, too!

    Hey TenPerent - Do NOT worry about PE! Make your girl feel safe and loved, then bring her to org&8zm however she likes best. After that, she's all yours to do what you want as quick as you want. Then hold her close and make her breakfast in the morning. :) First you must fix the DE thing! When the guy fails to org&8zm PIV, he will end up feeling unfulfilled and discouraged. The girl can end up feeling diminished as well. Believe me. The girl wants to be the reason you org&8zm!

  7. Thank you, that does sound lovely and yes, I must fix the DE. PE would be much better.

    Personally I would love to have a relationship like that, even if there was no PIV sex at all. I would be happy to give her pleasure and then do all those other things that make relationships so wonderful (i.e. doing things together, sleeping together, cuddling . . .) If I could some how not O and retain my semen that would be even better. :cool:

    Part of the reason I started this thread, was to see how women would feel about a long term relationship with a guy who has PE. Would they be unfulfilled not having PIV intercourse? Would they be willing to accept it? How would they respond to dating a guy if the PE becomes apparent very early on?

    Currently I don't have a gf . . . :( (the positive side of that being that I am single and could be dating)

    But I have been getting nervous about some of the accidental O's that I have had already (I've had O's from exercise, from fantasies, from having a massage therapist touch my thigh . . . sometimes without even getting erect) and fear that PE will be an issue. My fear is that I'll start dating someone and O in my pants long before we get to sex. It's hard to think of PE when you are with a girl for the first time not making a bad first impression, but I really worry how a girl will react if I spontaneously O before the clothes even start coming off :oops:

    As a female I only had one guy ever who had an O before his clothes came off and he was a virgin so I understood and it did not keep happening. I also dated a guy that had PE for the entire 6 months we dated, it never improved. But the issue with him was he refused to discuss it. For me I think if he were open to at least working on the issue I would be okay with that, but his refusal to even discuss it was a huge red flag not just for sex but communication overall. Being that my most recent ex had DE induced by porn I will tell you that I really tried to be okay with him never being able to reach O from PIV sex, but I just could not get past it. That was something I wanted to experience with the person I would spend my life with. I am just one woman though plenty of others could be okay with what you are describing if it was truly an issue outside of your control or if you refused to do what you needed to to stop it, meaning if your PE or DE or ED are caused by your PMO or MO and you won’t stop I think you will find less understanding then say if you were in a an accident and could not fix it. I don’t think anyone would ideally choose to be in a relationship with someone with a sexual dysfunction but many people can deal with it or get past it if you are open and upfront and I think that’s the key communication early on in the relationship about these things. I think it’s better that you bring it up before you have sex. In my personal opinion if I had to state the order of male sexual dysfunction I would most prefer PE then DE then ED.
     
  9. Thank you so much for your personal response and for helping me to see this from a woman's perspective.

    Wow! Sad to admit, but I am only now starting to see how potentially hurtful and unsatisfying my DE was :oops:

    To be honest, I was kind of proud of it, thinking that it was great that I could last a long time. How warped is that? I fancied myself as a man who is more interested in giving his partner pleasure - as I always made sure that she had at least one O (usually from oral before PIV), I could engage in PIV for a very long time and I wouldn't mind if I didn't have an O during sex myself. I just knew that I would have an O soon enough from M, not really thinking how maybe my partner would have really appreciated it if I had that O with her instead!

    The sad truth is that I rarely had an O from PIV, and if I did, it was because I fantasied about something else, or had my partner engage in some role-play to indulge a fantasy of mine. And that was always just to "get the job done" as the PIV had been going on for far too long. :(

    Another sad truth is that I would often felt like I was about to O as soon as I entered (perhaps a hint of my PE) but, probably thanks to excessive PMO, I was always able to hold back . . . and now that I think about it, I think I would mentally check out in order to not O and from that moment forward it was another round of DE, not being present and not being able to O with my partner. :(:(

    And, one more thing that I am now seeing is in regards to oral. I always fancied myself as someone who would much rather give than receive. Gee, how generous of me. The truth is, receiving oral did nothing for me and I rarely felt much compared to M. Never once did I have an O from receiving oral, but oh, how much I enjoyed giving my partners an O by giving them oral! How sad is that that I never let them have the satisfaction of giving me an O.

    How warped was my thinking??!! Kind of feeling like a real jerk right now :oops:

    But the future is looking a lot better :cool:

    I am now seeing how PE is sooo much better than DE!

    You are not alone in the sense that you thought lasting longer was desirable by women I would say the majority of men think that and that’s from porn. It’s funny guys brag to each other about their stamina while their female partners are telling their friends that they don’t think their partner finds them attractive because they can’t make them o. We wonder if it’s because we are doing something wrong or is it the five pounds we just gained or are you thinking about that 20 year old that we saw earlier today. And people generally derive pleasure from pleasuring their partner so just like you enjoy pleasuring her she wants to pleasure you and when she can’t she feels incompetent. It’s like a man who can’t make his female partner O no matter what he does but worse because women are known for struggling with O whereas men are supposed to be ready to go at all times. The shame that a woman feels here is vast. And women are blamed too. Maybe you need to dress up more, be more submissive fix your hair. And using my hand or mouth is fun once in awhile but when you can only O that way it’s no longer fun. But the good news is now to do know and you’ve got time to change it.

    I suspect you suffer from death grip as well as pmo addiction. Remember a vagina is never going to give you the friction and grip of your hand. One think I asked my ex was to grip my arm as hard as he would when moing and it was painful. I then gripped his as hard as I pass possibly could and he could not feel it. So recognize that a woman’s touch is much gentler than yours. Plus as I watched him moing because that was the only way he could O early on I saw how rapidly he moved his hand and knew there was no way that sex even with a spry 18 year old could replicate that. So consider this as well.

    The point is you are one step ahead of most guys in that you know this is an issue and you want to change it. In my case the motivation to change was just not there for my ex. He was also 46 and preferred to be able to continue to PMO and not O in bed, than to having a fulfilling sex life.

    Hey TenPercent - How could you not feel this way when all a guy hears is women blaming men for their inability to give women a proper org$$m. Just take a look at what women write about men. Besides PE is about the only known medical condition that is diagnosed by what someone else can't do. Sick!

    Hi GG - I'm personally going on 900 days of NoFap. Needless to say, I'm about as anti- porn as they get. But I believe the primary cause guys think they don't last isn't porn. Rather it's because that's all they hear and that's all they read. Females and journalists have squarely placed the blame on men for the failure of women to orga$$m. In my way of thinking, guys like TenPercent need to reclaim their ability to be sexually heathy and women need to person up as well. Stop blaming men for the failure of women to own her own thing.

    Where do you read that women squarely place the blame on men for their failure to orgasm? I’m not saying that some women don’t do that but it’s certainly not “all you read.” The single biggest reason a man cannot make a woman O (presuming it’s his fault as it often has nothing to do with him) is not PE, or any failure of anything the man is failing to do in the bedroom, nope it has to do with his failure to listen. The only men who could not make me O refused to listen when I told them what I needed. Instead they continued to do what they did to their exes, what felt good to them or what they saw in porn. If a man is willing to listen to a woman then he can almost always make her O. It’s men who place the emphasis on their penises not us, we don’t need them to O. What does “person up” mean what are you asking women to do?

    Hey GG – As you can tell given my nearly 900 days with no PMO, I am a big proponent of NoFap. Seriously. You asked - where do I read that women squarely place the blame on men for their failure to orga$$m??? For starters, your very reply proves my point by blaming men. So, men just don’t listen well according to you, and this explains it. What a simplification.

    But the topic was TenPercent’s rationalization that his DE was at least partially tolerable because ‘lasting longer’ was so massively desirable by women. After searching a couple of the top internet medical sites and even some of the more popular women mags, the drum beat is that PE is one of most (if not the top) male sexual dysfunction. DE is often completely ignored!

    How many men belittle NoFap.Com and fail to research PMO, because they rationalize a man with DE is ALWAYS better than a man with that wretched PE. Men deserve some understanding, too, and they don’t need all the criticism in the form of psuedo-science-articles and magazines authored by pop culture journalists masquerading as experts. You can agree or not. I don't really care which.
     
  15. I'm not sure that I understand this. Is PE defined as not being able to give a woman an O through PIV intercourse? Everything I have read is that PE is defined as ejaculating within 2 minutes of commencing PIV intercourse. It's hard to place the blame on the women for that, unless they have the responsibility to keep us from having an O too quickly.

    I have never had a woman blame me for not being able to give her an orgasm. Never has a woman given me a hard time about finishing too quickly, nor has one congratulated me for lasting a long time. I have been told by a few partners that my penis is too small, but that was usually only after I had pressed the issue. Most never complained about the size however and, perhaps because I was insecure about that, I almost always gave them an O with oral before having sex.

    As far as women writing about men not being able to give them a proper orgasm, I can't say that I recall having read anything of the sort. Maybe I have been reading the wrong things (like P-mags). I think most of the stuff I have read that makes me feel like I need to last a long time or take pills to get a better erection has been in advertising.

    This has been my experience as well. Unlike what I've seen in porn, I've rarely been able to give a woman an O with PIV. I have had a few partners who would have an O from PIV sex almost every time, but it wasn't what I was doing, it seemed more that they were using my body to grind against (perhaps because my penis is not that big) and I would be sore after from them grinding against my pubic bone. So, even with those partners, it wasn't the penis so much as having something to grind against.

    Most of the times that I have been able to give a woman an O has been from oral and giving the O has always been the most gratifying part of having sex. To bring it back to what GG2002 has been saying, giving the women an O isn't really the problem. Nor is PE as long as the man is willing to communicate about it. And there are other ways to give a woman an O, or to give her pleasure and show affection. The problem is being so desensitised from excessive PMO that the man can't achieve a proper orgasm and the woman never feels like she can give him the O that he seem to so easily get from P and M.

  16. @Andrew14, I don't see how GG2002 is blaming men for their sexual dysfunctions. If anything, she may be blaming some men for failing to communicate, failure to look at their issues and perhaps being overly focused on their sexual dysfunction. If you read earlier posts, you'll see that she wrote that PE is not the worst male sexual dysfunction and that she would be willing to work with a partner who has PE or DE or ED even, as long as they can communicate.

    She has just been sharing her experience and her perspective which is what I asked for in this thread. For me it has been very helpful, if not downright enlightening.

    There may be women out there who blame men for not being able to have a proper orgasm, but I don't see that in anything that has been written in this thread.

    I think that you are right. Men do deserve some understanding for having PE. I don't think I have gotten anything but understanding from the men and women who have responded here. But it has been particularly helpful to hear a woman's perspective on this issue.

    Btw, totally off topic, your avatar - is that a Renoir?

    Oh your post said 500 days with no PMO, but 900 or 500 are both still amazing so congrats, but for all your success you seem very angry and bitter towards women. I never said “men just don’t listen.” I said that the circumstances that I have experienced where men could not bring me to O as well as those of most of my female friends is where the man did not listen to what the woman wants, meaning in bed. My belief is that communication as at @+TenPercent says is the key and that if communication is present in a sexual relationship, that most things can be overcome in bed. Did you see the part where I said “presuming it’s his fault as it often has nothing to do with him?” How is that blaming all men? Other women may have other explanations for why a man cannot make them O, I do not know. I am just telling you the experiences that I personally had, and they were rare, most guys DID listen to what I wanted and needed as I listened when they told me they same. I agree with you that PE is the number one condition and DE is often ignored. If you do further research you will learn then when it comes to men seeking treatment for DE it is almost always precipitated by their female partner. Men rarely seek help for it on their own, becuase they don’t think it’s an issue. It is also very understudied in the research as opposed to PE. It could be that its less common, or just that men don’t come forward with it unless a partner forces them to. Personally I would take PE anyday over DE. I think a lot of men rationalize DE is not an issue, but I don’t think they get it from reading cosmopolitan magazine, I mean after all how many men read that? I don’t read that crap or if I do it is for pure entertainment. But PE based on actual legitimate research studies is a lot more common. And I furthermore don’t think that women base their sexual pleasure on what cosmo says. If more men have PE then more women discuss PE. I actually think DE will be more researched going forward due to the increase of PMO addiction.

    Hi TenPercent - Speaking for me, my path to recovery was not littered with concerns about diagnostic codes. Not everyone needs a clinical diagnosis or DSM manual to know if PE is a concern. Most just know it’s something that’s negatively affecting a relationship with someone important. I focused solely on stopping all PMO and building a relationship with a woman who I loved and loved me enough to patiently help me in my struggle against DE. The last thing we worried about was PE. It was a tactic that worked wonderfully!

    Not so. In my view, your post plainly linked a woman's failure to orga$$m with the man's failure to listen. It was very clear. See above. But that's not my point. I just think all this discussion about PE does not serve men very much. It just helps them rationalize why DE is an acceptable condition and reason to discount NoFap. Let's get off the drumbeat of PE as exemplified by all the popular literature, blogs, forums and magazines. I don't follow this NoFap.Com site to hear sad stories about PE. It's better to focus rightfully on the dangers of PMO and give hope to all the many, many young (and old) men with ED and DE. BTW the NoFap calculator below says 500+ not 500. I presume it's because it maxes out when a person like me reaches 500 days. As of the time of this post, my actual count is 991 days. I have an app on my phone. I just checked. :)

    No it does not. You are picking and choosing parts of my post rather than reading it as a whole or reading app of my comments together. Are you bitter and angry towards women or am I misreading that? Because there is some clear anger in your post.

    Many men develop PE as a result of pmo addiction so I think it’s totally relevant to discuss it on NoFap. You can of course choose to not read those stories if you don’t find them helpful and I do agree that the literature needs to address DE more.
