I’m a male member. I can get and maintain an erection and have sex normally, but when it’s time to finish inside, unrelated thoughts start popping into my head and I can’t climax that way (I don’t lose my erection). I think age may have something to do with it, but I’d appreciate any advice on how to deal with this. (Of course, I always use a condom.)

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. Thanks for your question. Is finishing inside while wearing a condom just the way things are these days? Even so, it can get tricky when confirming what was agreed upon. I think it’s best to stick with the conventional way of using one. “Is this okay?” “Yes, that’s fine.” But then there’s always the possibility that you both understood things differently, the woman gets angry, and says, “I never agreed to that. I’m going to report you for rape.” As for the main issue—being unable to finish—unfortunately, it may simply be a matter of age. Perhaps it would help to change your perspective and think, “As long as I feel emotionally satisfied, I don’t necessarily have to finish.” P.S. Please don’t think about it at all. I mean it. (笑) It’s just like the “Don’t push me, seriously, don’t push me” routine in the hot-water-bath skit. (笑)

I’m Tetsu, a male member. When I saw you mention finishing inside, I thought, “Wow, that’s pretty bold”—only to read at the end, “Oh, you mean with a condom.” You got me there, lol. I think it may be a matter of concentration. Maybe you’re not fully immersed in the moment and still have room to think. It’s not exactly the “total concentration” everyone talks about these days, but I think all you can do is find a way to build up the desire to finish—like closing your eyes and continuing to move without thinking when you feel you’re getting close.

I’m Kazu, a male member. These days, does ejaculating while wearing a condom count as “finishing inside” too? I think concentration is important. Try clearing your mind of distractions and focusing on the rising sensation of ejaculation.
