Is it normal my boyfriend is having these issues?

I've been with my boyfriend for 4 months and he has never been one to last long in bed. I recently told him that it is upsetting me because sometimes it seem like he doesn't even try. Since then he has been having hard time keeping an erection. He says it isn't my fault, that it is in his head but I feel like it is my fault. What can I do? We have great foreplay but I'd like to actually be able to have sex with my boyfriend. We are young, I am 19 and he is 21.

    perhaps it's time to consider communication?

    First off, there's ways to help men last in bed - condoms, more foreplay so you get satisfaction first, different sexual positions.

    Second, perhaps he's not lying - it may not be anything to do with you and may be stress.

    but hey first try communication - listening to each other and what they want etc.

    Despite popular beleif, sex is very dependant on your mental state. It's very common for men to experience this when under pressur eot preform. If even if they made the pressure up in their own heads. Which isn't the case here. I'm assuming he's not going quickly by choice, he's just that way, so by you telling him oyu wan thim to go longer, he's getting preformance anxiety and having issues getting it up. The only cure is to make him feel good about himself, and let him know that sex isn't the only important thing to you and you will wait as long as it takes for him to feel comfortable. Unless sex really is the only important thing for you. In which case dump him.

    Good posts, just one thing to add, if you use condom, you might try one with prolonging lubrication.
    If you don't then perhaps a prolonging lube or spray:

    Talk with him regarding this and try reading about delayed ejaculations. ask him to read. He should fantasize about you and should take efforts. One secret to last in the game for a longer time is to do sex after first ejaculation. Do first ejaculation with masturbation i mean u give him a treat and then wash it off as soon as it comes out, and then do sex, it will help him last long in bed and u can also enjoy. Its my secret, and because of this after every sex she used to say, it was better than previous, sometimes she might be true, sometimes she might be faking it, but it used to motivate me in giving her more pleasure every next instance.. See if this can work in ur case.

    I think your mistake was to tell him that you feel like he's not even trying. Believe me, he is.

    I guess it's difficult for a woman to imagine, but it's really not like trying to hold back pee. It is WAY harder than that. A lot harder.

    I don't see a way out here either. His erection-problem is obviously of a psychological nature. Maybe seeing a professional sexologist would help.

    Your first mistake was telling him that you are upset.

    No man likes to be told he is no good in bed no matter how you sugar coat it all he will hear is: you're shit in bed.

    It's gonna take a lot to get his confidence back up and i mean a lot.

    If he's overthinking things and worrying now, that could easily explain the trouble keeping an erection. The best thing you can do if that's the case is help him relax, maybe find something fun to do in bed that gets him so distracted from worrying about performance he forgets it, and once he gets over that block it'll be fine.

    And definitely look up methods for helping him last longer, maybe if he's just really sensitive or something have some long foreplay or mutual masturbation sessions. I know guys who've said that by masturbating more frequently as practice so to speak they were able to make themselves last longer.

    If you guys have tried a lot of stuff (rings, condoms, creams, etc) then it might be advisable for him to see a doctor, because if he has some kind of problem down there he can get something to help.
