Q. I have been suffering from premature ejaculation and it is drastically affecting my sex life. My marriage is going through a really rough time because I am unable to last longer in bed. How can I prolong sex and delay orgasms without pills naturally? I have heard of the side-effects of pills and injections and therefore want to stay away from them.
