It’s obviously important if you’re here for information that you know what we mean when we say “sex,” so we thought we’d make it clear.

Your boyfriend sounds awesome. And how quickly he ejaculates right now really doesn’t have to present any problems if neither of you treat it like a problem. Just so you know, a lot of sex educators and therapists have big problems with the term and concept of “premature ejaculation” (PE) as it’s…
