| Keeping an erection
I've been in a long relationship, and am now married to a wonderful man.
We recently started having sex. He never seemed to have problems keeping an erection in the past, during foreplay and oral sex. It seems now that he has trouble keeping it hard, during foreplay. He is ok during the sex, (but I still don't think it's as hard as it used to be), it's good enough that he's able to perform and finish, but he goes soft very quickly if he's not being stimulated by intercourse. (He might still get hard during oral intercourse, but we haven't been doing that as much because intercourse is still novel)
I'm wondering if "normal" men are usually able to keep a "decent" erection during the foreplay, and throughout (let's say 1/2hr - 1hr average) or if it's normal to go flaccid throughout parts that aren't during intercourse.
I think he feels uncomfortable about it, and has seemed to notice he doesn't easily stay hard when we're fooling around. I don't want this to get worse to the point where he's unable to keep an erection during intercourse.
He is overweight... 6'2" 250lbs. I know stress can also play a part, I don't think he's particularly stressed out.
Men, or women, if you could give me any idea what's "normal" for a guy's erection time, if he should be able to stay hard for an extended time without intercourse.
Any response is appreciated. Thank you.
