PE in a long term relationship

So I downloaded this app with hopes to tackle my PE issues. For context, I’m an active 28 y/o in a long term relationship with a woman. In my early 20s I rarely had PE issues. I could last as long as I wanted or even control my orgasms so much that I could cum on command. It was never a problem with hook up’s or when first having sex with my long term gf. As the years have gone by, my PE got worse to where it’s usually always under a minute and I can tell it’s disappointing to my partner and impacting our sexual relationship. We’ve talked about it and she’s supportive which I’m thankful for. I’ve never experienced erection issues, so I’m pretty good there. I usually don’t have any PE issues with masturbating or with oral or hand stuff, pretty much only when it comes to intercourse/penetration. Another component is that I’m treating general anxiety disorder with an SSRI. My Dr said we should try treating the anxiety/depression with the SSRI and that the medication could also help with PE. Delayed ejaculation is often an unwanted side effect of SSRIs but for me it seems to have no impact on my ejaculation. Any tips or suggestions?

I have the same issue with penetration. Oral or touch has always been fine, I am pretty much in total control. But penetration can sometimes be a big issue. I’m suffering the same thing right now, in fact, it’s got so bad I can’t even be touched or anything without going off too soon.

Unfortunately, I can’t offer any advice, but hopefully, some moral support can help remind you that it happens to the best of us.
