I am 42. I suffer from premature ejaculation so badly, that I cannot have intercourse at all. I have always been this way and now I don't try to find a partner. I have tried stop start masturbation (more stop than start) with some success, but intercourse is impossible. Every few strokes I have to stop and can never build up a rhythm, not even a slow one. I have tried a Psycho sexual therapist who was very little help. Now I am trying kegel exercises, but this is not helping me to build a rhythm without stopping couple of seconds, if anything It seems to be getting worse. I feel totally hopeless and cheated. I have put so much work into trying to improve. Anyone ever been this bad with premature ejaculation? (and I don't just mean short term when you were a teenager). Anyone got any suggestions?
