Don't rush things. Learn these tricks to prolong your bed time and make your evenings long and satisfying, for you and her
1. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail
You never thought we'd advocate a marathon solo wrist recital but there is nothing like a bit of solo sex to get you well prepared for the real thing. "The key is to control your orgasm and keep yourself at the point of hardness and excitement for at least 15 minutes," says Michael Castleman, author of Great Sex: A Man's Guide to the Principles of Total-Body Sex.
2. Set the scene
You can magic your Johnson by changing your environment, according to Emily Dubberley, editor of Scarlet, a sex magazine for women. "Men respond primarily to visual stimuli, like a change of location, a porn film or her outfit." But she's more likely to respond to you stimulating her imagination. Buy any book of erotic literature (try anything by Kerri Sharp) to read together and uncage her inner nympho.
3. Massage your figure
It's seconds out for the second round, but your jab has lost its potency. Get her to give you a rub-down with some massage oils. "Relieving tension in your muscles helps decrease anxiety, a factor in secondary erections," says Dubberley.
4. Pop up
Before you search for Viagra, have some shellfish. Oyster powder is zinc-rich, which helps your body produce the hard-on hormone testosterone.
5. Get hands on
"Some men find that holding their testicles down helps them last for longer," says Castleman. Ask your missus to do it. Gently.
6. Get fruity
Reach for the strawberries, peaches and mangoes - they're all rich in boron, "which will help your body turn the calcium in your diet into rampant, Hefner-esque lust", according to Fiona Marshall, author of Natural Aphrodisiacs.
