Is it true that young people have a strong sex drive? Do they have greater stamina?
I have a question.
When I have intercourse with my boyfriend, he often remains erect and does not ejaculate.
I feel exhausted trying to satisfy him! We have an age difference of over ten years, as we are in a May-December relationship.
I'm unsure if there is an issue since I didn't have this problem with previous partners.
Could it be that his youth allows him to last longer, making it difficult for him to reach climax? Are there any methods to resolve this? It's quite troubling.

Ms.
Chen: What you refer to as a concern may be something that others dream of.
Indeed, sexual desire and stamina are the assets of young people in their 20s and 30s, as this is the period when male hormones are at their peak.
The intimacy between the sexes requires healthy communication between both parties; mere compliance can only increase the rift between them.
Perhaps considering the concept of "the power of both hands" might be worthwhile? Best wishes from the Sexual Wellness Center, Director Chen.

The question of whether youth is linked to stronger libido and endurance in bed is a complex one, influenced by various biological, psychological, and relational factors. It’s not uncommon for individuals in relationships with significant age differences to experience discrepancies in sexual stamina and satisfaction.
You mentioned that your boyfriend, who is younger, maintains an erection and does not ejaculate, while you find yourself feeling exhausted and wanting to satisfy him. This situation can stem from several factors, including hormonal differences, physical fitness, and psychological aspects.
Biological Factors:
Younger individuals often have higher levels of testosterone, which can contribute to increased libido and stamina. Testosterone plays a crucial role in sexual arousal and performance. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, which can lead to changes in libido and erectile function. However, it’s important to note that not all younger men will have the same level of endurance or libido, as individual health, fitness, and psychological factors also play significant roles.
Psychological Factors:
Mental health and emotional connection can significantly impact sexual performance and satisfaction. If your boyfriend feels pressure to perform or is anxious about sexual performance, it may affect his ability to climax. Similarly, if you feel stressed or pressured to meet his needs, it can lead to fatigue and dissatisfaction. Open communication about desires, expectations, and any concerns can help alleviate some of this pressure.
Physical Fitness:
Physical fitness can also play a role in sexual endurance. Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health, stamina, and overall energy levels, which can enhance sexual performance for both partners. If you or your boyfriend are not engaging in regular physical activity, it may be beneficial to incorporate exercise into your routines.
Potential Solutions:
1. Communication: Discuss your feelings and experiences openly with your boyfriend. Understanding each other’s needs and concerns can help both of you feel more comfortable and connected during intimacy.
2. Pacing: Consider varying the pace of sexual activity. Slowing down can help both partners enjoy the experience more and may lead to a more satisfying climax for both.
3. Focus on Foreplay: Engaging in extended foreplay can enhance arousal and intimacy, making the experience more enjoyable for both partners. This can also help your boyfriend feel more relaxed and connected, potentially leading to a more fulfilling climax.
4. Explore Different Techniques: Experimenting with different sexual positions or techniques may help both of you find what works best for your bodies and enhances pleasure.
5. Consult a Professional: If concerns persist, consider consulting a healthcare professional or a sex therapist. They can provide personalized advice and strategies to improve sexual satisfaction and address any underlying issues.
In conclusion, while youth can contribute to stronger libido and endurance, it is not the sole factor determining sexual satisfaction. Open communication, understanding, and a willingness to explore different approaches can significantly enhance your sexual experiences together. Remember that every relationship is unique, and finding what works best for both of you is key to a fulfilling sexual relationship.
