DEAR DEIDRE: I’VE gone without sex for six years because I don’t want the humiliation.
My problem is premature ejaculation. Each time, I last just seconds.

This has put me off sex in a big way. I even decided to give up on relationships with women.
If I happen to meet a nice-looking lady who shows interest in me, I make excuses and leave.
I am 27, starved of sex, lonely and depressed. What can I do? Please help.
DEIDRE SAYS: Please don’t despair. Premature ejaculation is a very common problem for young men, usually caused by a combination of nerves and lack of opportunity to have regular sex.
The feeling of failure can lead to ongoing anxiety, which in turn makes everything worse.
It is generally easy to put right but will work best when you have a caring partner.
So get out there and meet people.
My e-leaflet Want To Last Longer? explains self-help sex therapy – some you can practise alone, to start with.
