Re: What do you think about during sex?

1) Clenching. The same muscles that you use to hold other urine in can help. Pause, clench, and it can subside.
Without pausing it can bring it all to a screeching stop, so um practice this. This is a tricky one.
2) Breathe deeply. Holding your breath hastens orgasm. Lamaze breathing works for both pleasure and pain BTW. No need to Lamaze right in the middle of it but understand the principles. Breathing regularly helps distract from sensations.
Hold your breath and it's over much faster.
For this reason I think being vocal helps.
3) Relax. Seriously, it's not the end of the world if it ends in 10 seconds. After a minute you can try again and it'll last longer. In a way I think "thinking" hurts.
This can even be worked into the routine, it doesn't have to be over just because it didn't "last". Move to oral sex till it's ready again or something.
4) Work with positions and techniques more suited for female orgasm. The trick isn't to "last long" but to bring the woman to orgasm. To do so you might try positions and movements that are best suited for her orgasm. Clitoral stimulation by grinding against the pelvis is an idea. Pumping away is more of a thing for the male orgasm. So save that type of thing (e.g. doggy style) for the end.
5) STOP CARING ABOUT WHETHER YOU "LAST". Seriously. The idea isn't to "last". iI is to have both people achieve orgasm. Since there are other ways to do it "lasting" doesn't have to be a killjoy. Oral sex and other techniques are available.
This isn't a "stop caring about teh problem" answer, really. I'm saying that realizing that lasting isn't the be-all end-all will actually help you last.
Other random stuff.
Condoms can help you "last".
In the right quantities alcohol can help you "last".
Relaxed foreplay can help you "last".
Seguing into different positions/ techniques can help you "last".
