I've been lurking on this site for a while but the subject of this poll was enough to get me to register.
I am a #1 (quick cummer) trying to become a #3 (hold it), but I am finding it a challenge.
I can testify that girls are sometimes turned when their efforts get an explosive reaction (immediate gratification), but when I quickly go limp after that, it's a total mood killer. It's not the early arrival of semen, it's the quickly shrinking penis that gives premature ejaculation a bad name.
I've decided that "detachment" is not in the cards for me. I go from limp, to semi-hard, to hard, to really-fucking-hard, and then it's like this "sleeper wave" hits at random, like a muscle cramp, and the spurts are shooting very fast.
The "muscle control" thing is a lot easier said than done. It is easier if she is driving the action and I just focus on clamping down when the impulse hits. But my mind can't thrust and stay clamped at the same time -- once the urge hits, if I thrust after that I'll spurt until empty and can't get hard for the rest of the night.
