Does He Come Too Soon? It May Not Be His Fault.

Premature ejaculation is a genetic, not psychological, problem according to Dutch researchers.

Listen up, ladies. The next time you bag a boy and are unsatisfied with his, uh, stamina, keep in mind that his quick shooting style is genetic, not psychological. According to a recent Dutch study, neuropsychiatrist Marcel Waldinger and pharmacological researcher Paddy Janssen at Utrecht University, rounded up 89 subjects who suffer from premature ejaculation, and 92 men who can last for hours and did a little brain compare and contrast. In the time-challenged group a lack of serotonin was the culprit. Serotonin---known as the brain's regulator of mood and sexual appetite---seems to ward off coming when it's more active in the nerves controlling ejaculation. So, the more serotonin the longer the sex. Upon further investigation, the researches isolated the gene 5-HTTLPR, which is responsible for the amount and activity of serotonin, and pinpointed the three variations of the gene: LL, SL, and SS. If you're one of the unlucky guys born with the LL version, than chances are you're the brunch time butt of your past sexual conquests minute man jokes. Men with the SL version are the Ron Jeremy's of the group, having the natural ability to last the longest, where the SS group is average.

Wow. And us ladies curse the powers that be for our finicky orgasms. Turns out penises aren't as simple as we once thought!

Can you relate?

I wonder, can you increase your guy's serotonin levels by making him happier? or reducing stress? Win-win situation all around.

In fact, what if being in love/in a relationship/married increases you serotonin? Then guys would actually be better lovers with more committed partners. This might make some sense for evolution, too, since it would help a guy keep the sex partners he likes. Just thinking here.

I used to c*m fast and with practice, I can now go for a long period of time. I think it comes with maturity and experience. When first having sex, I was overwhelmed just with the thought of having sex. Then there were times I was overwhelmed with how hot I believed the woman to be. Now, I realize that hot women love sex as much as I do and to help them to reach multiple orgasms, I have to be in control of my thoughts and actions. It took some work and it wasn't easy, but it's been worth it. I think it's like anything to do with sex. No one is born a good lover. We learn from listening to what women want in bed and then doing it. A lot of guys think they know what women want, but they're afraid to actually put it to use. If a woman says she likes something, then she likes it. Period. Just do it. And so far as premature ejaculation, no woman likes that, so get some help and take control.

So, science, do something for us women and come up with a cure to this terrible LL gene. It might be a good idea to figure out a cure for SL too, because sometimes too long is even worse... "are you 'almost' done? Fine."
