Slow down orgasm

I am 21 and in a relationship with another woman. We have been together for a year and our sex life is great. However, I reach my orgasm very quickly, generally within five minutes of clitoral stimulation. Is this normal? This does not only occur with her; it even happens when I masturbate.

Everyone wants great sex. There's no denying the mental and physical benefits of a sweet sack session. But what is it about sex that men and women crave the most? But the one thing that couples always seem to agree upon makes a sex life above average? Although it's a common debate nowadays on whether or not you need to have an orgasm to have great sex, one thing everyone can agree on is the existence of the all-too-real orgasm gap. In fact, premature ejaculation is one of the factors that worry men the most besides penis size. Women who are able to orgasm through intercourse aka with penetration alone can take up to 18 minutes.

They had an orgasm and you missed out? Unfortunately, women find themselves in this position more often than not. The orgasm gap is getting in the way of us ladies coming -- and that's just not fair. It takes women an average of 13 minutes longer than men to have an orgasm. That is one hell of a jump.
