Erection and endurance
I need help! Been married nine years. I am EXTREMELY attracted to my wife. I LOVE having sex with her. Two months ago, she told me that she has noticed lately that I don't last as long in bed and that it bothered her. I was destroyed, but determined.
I went to see five doctors. Nothing abnormal. Blood was fine. Urine was fine. Testosterone was fine. They all agree this is psychological. They recommended some natural remedies - maca, ginkoloba, larginine, etc...
I have taken them all. I have also used Promescent.
We are also going to marriage therapy - we have many other issues outside the bedroom to address.
At first, some of the remedies worked... But things have gone waaaaay downhill since then.
Foreplay usually goes well. But when I try to enter her, I go limp. Thank goodness she has been patient and understanding. As of late, we have been having plenty of "high school sex." Oral, manual, kissing, touching, rubbing, etc...
It is very important to me that she climaxes. I will do what I must to satisfy her. But I shutter to think that her patience will wear thin. What the hell do I do?

You should talk in therapy about the power dynamics in your relationship, though. You don't have to talk to a therapist about what is happening in the bed, but if you want the relationship to continue, you have to talk about all this passive-aggressive (or just plain aggressive) behavior.
I find it interesting that the first two responses were from women. Ladies, thank you both for your response. It doesn't repair the situation... But it is nice to hear. I won't talk about this situation with anyone. It's too painful and embarrassing.
Not a very good way for her to handle this. She should state it as lately she has been wanting stimulation to last longer, as if the change is for her, not you. That would be tactful and you would take an interest in spending longer on her, rather than feeling hurt and worried. I think you are fine and just lost your confidence. Generally if you give a woman attention and spend time on her, it makes her feel good. Sex may change over the years, but kindness and respect and cooperation should not.
