Why does my boyfriend “tire out” in sex a lot faster than usual?

let me explain...

when we have sex, we can usually go for about I don't know 25 minutes before we’re both tired. Yes this does include foreplay as well, not just the actual sex

moving on, I notice that the past few times me and my boyfriend have had sex, we’ve only been able to last about 10 - 15 minutes before he gets tired. This isn’t normal since we’ve been involved sexually with each other for the last 1.5 to 2 years

it’s also like my boyfriend runs out of energy faster than usual OR it’s like he ran a marathon before we have sex

any ideas? Please leave the comments mature and realistic, I am not looking for immaturity, sarcasm, or harsh answers

Guys, my boyfriend is NOT out of shape. He’s very fit and athletic so there’s no possibility of him being out of shape

  • It could be due to stress lack of sleep, is he masterbating during the day, is he taking new medication or stopped one, has he become a pothead? It could also be diet change alcohol or a true medical issue like depression or blood presdure. Does it happen only during sex or does he get tired earlier in the day every day. There is always the least favorable answer and that is he is having sex with someone else. And again to you i say ignore the troll basement dwelling fucktards that just want to tear you down.

    • I haven’t noticed stress or anxiety in him, maybe because I haven’t paid attention to that. But, I’m sure I’d notice because I’m very “observing” subconsciously I guess you could say. He hasn’t taken any medications ever in his life and he doesn’t smoke or drink either. And he only seems to get tired fast during sex. He could stay up till the middle of the night and be wide awake, but during sex, he can only last a very short amount of time. Also, know he’s not cheating because he’s very uneasy about me doing it since his last girlfriend did it a few years ago

    • Has there been a change in diet? And a more personal question is there variety in your sex life or is it pretty much the same every time? If he is concerned about you cheating that could cause him stress and that could affect him here is a link to a good article

  • Is he in good health? Do you two ever go fro round two or three in an evening?

    Are you two living together... if so how often are you having sex? Maybe he is masturbating a lot when you are not around?

    Remember sex is not a race, take it slow, try sex at different times of the day. Have you tried some different positions to see if any are less strenuous?

    • He is in very good health, and we sometimes go for round 2 or 3 if possible (we don’t do it often though as we don’t have lots of free time) We do live together and have sex 1 - 2 times per week. 3 times if we got extra time... say on holidays. And I don't know if he masturbates often. He said he prefers not to because he prefers to have sex with me instead And I know it’s not a race cuz we don’t go violently fast. We go slow - moderate but lately it’s goig reallyyy slow for some reason with him. As for positions, we don’t do many that are strenuous because, at least for us, it’s less enjoyable if they are

  • As others have said, anything that affects his body (exhaustion, lack of sleep, medications, illness, stress, poor eating habits, depression, hormone levels, etc.) can cause this.

    We obviously don't know what exactly the problem is, but it's likely to be on that list.

    Talk about it with him and hopefully you can figure out what it is, then find ways to work on it.

  • Sex is a vigorous physical activity. Let me put it this way, Michael Phelps probably hasn't had this issue do to his lifestyle. So maybe a few dunbells and a good pair of running shoes can solve your problem.

    • He’s very fit and in shape already from sports and working out, his fitness level wouldn’t be affected or affecting this

  • It's just a fitness thing, he also no longer needs to impress you seeing as you've been together for a while now.

    • Ok if it’s that, which I don't know if it is, sex isn’t as enjoyable for us anymore since he can’t go as long as usual. I doubt any guy would try to make sex less enjoyable, or any person tbh

    • It's not a one way street you know? Maybe he's getting tired of being the one that needs to put in the effort all the time.

    • You know girls don’t just sit there and let the guy do all the work right? I’m not a blowup doll, I actually do things in sex

  • diet... e. g. alcohol not good, carrot juice better:)
    impending heart issue
    weight gain?
    when you do this... e. g. late in day, energy down.
    less exercise?

  • Maybe it has nothing to do with energy, maybe he is trying to get it over with sooner.

    • I doubt it. What guy would wanna get sex over with like it’s something they don’t want? All guys want sex...

    • Just an idea, and believe me, there are guys that don't want it. For him to say he only gets tired during sex but nothing else is bullshit.

    • Since you claim he is fantastic physical shape then it isn't a medical issue. That means it's something in his head. Have you tried just asking him?

  • Maybe he's out of shape.

    • No, he’s really fit from sports and working out so often

  • He's getting older. That's really all there is to that

    • I don’t think a year or two of age will affect it this much. This isn’t something that gradually came up. Awhile back he was good with it, now he has less energy for some reason. No he’s not out of shape, he’s really fit because of sports and working out often

  • Sex alone doesn't just naturally make you fit if you have sex every like 3 days or something it would do nothing futness wise he could have got to a point where his level of fitness is slowly decreasing so he should partake in cardio vascular training and it should help

    • He is very fit already from sports and work outs

    • I dont know then he could be ill

  • Out of shape? Maybe just spent that energy doing something else? Maybe let him know that you've noticed that change and see if he can tell you why?

    • He’s very fit from sports and working out, so it can’t be that

  • Something is really weird here. I can't understand how someone fit and athletic is worn out from 15 minutes of sex and foreplay

  • Possible issues are the wrong time of the day, digestion in full action (up to 1-2 hours after eating), health issues like low blood pressure or low sugar level. Maybe drugs he is taking? Medication or something. Is he vegan?

  • Is he outa shape, maybe you should try being on top so it's less work for him

    • No he’s not

    • And he isn’t always on the top

  • Change the place and positions... try new things...

    • We do every time

    • Talk during sex?

    • what kind of "talk" are you meaning? like, actual conversation, or expressing feelings which happen to show verbally?

  • Damn girl you must be the bomb and he can't handle your loven

  • 25 minutes? He's gotta work on that cardio!

  • What sex position do you guys do most often.

    • We don’t have a specific one, it’s different every time

    • Maybe you should do it cowgirl style. That way after foreplay you can be on top of him while he lays down.

  • Did he gain weight?

    • No he didn’t

    • Weird than that leaves one. His cheating.

    • No, just no

  • Health issue perhaps? Anemia? That'll definitely tire him.

  • Age?

    • He’s 25 like me, he’s also very fit so it can’t be an age thing

    • It's age.

    • How?

  • Needs more cardio or you guys need to spice things up. Could be getting boring try throwing whip cream at each other then get at it.

    • He’s already fit, he doesn’t need no cardio
