Question:
Hello, My problem with erectile dysfunction is not the typical (from what i'v read) I have no problem getting an erection, my problem is, after sexual release. It takes me hours to be able to be erect again. Cuple that with the fact I ejaculate releitivly fast (1-5 minutes) makes me a pretty crappy lover.. I have listend to friends speak, and they say they are able to "Get it up" right after sex, if not with in 15 minutes. it doesnt seam to matter how good looking my partner is, or how much I think bout stimulation (fantasize etc) It just wont respond even if she plays with it... I have never asked help, but I want to be a better lover for her...

After a man climaxes, its natural to temporarily lose desire for sex not to get a second erection because of the 'refractory period'. This can vary from a few minutes to a couple of days depending on the age, degree of fitness and inherent sexual desire. In your case the best option is to learn to overcome premature ejaculation (read an earlier answer in the archives) so that you can 'last' longer. It's important for you to focus on breathing. This will ensure that your partner is satisfied before you …after which you can climax and not worry about 'getting it up' for the second time. It's better if you do not compare yourself with your friends, as it doesn't help you. Besides who knows how many of your friends are braggers?
