Men: Which tricks make you last longer?

It was in California, 2009 near San Diego. We met at the beach while surfing and we clicked instantly. She was fully aware of her impression and I enjoyed it. The conversation around the campfire, the light dancing on her freckles when she laughed, the second and third beer, the sound of the waves, and the surrounding darkness of the night - it was one of those nights that should never end. When we fled into her condo, this night was only supposed to get even hotter.

But it wasn't meant to happen.

Hot bodies, hot words, hot breathing ... hot air. As we rolled through the bed, I had my climax after only a few minutes, thanks to long foreplay and the pictures in my mind. The first act was over as quickly as it had begun.

I would have liked to be able to ask somebody at that time. So I'm making up for this now, for all those who have been in a similar situation before, who wanted to experience the perfect night and then almost failed because of their own endurance.

• How can you last longer in bed?
  
• What are your tips during sex?
  
• How do you prepare yourself, if at all?
  

PS: In the end the night did not fail. We simply added two more acts and slept through the dawn together.
