Sexual performance can vary for a multitude of reasons, both medical and psychological. Some variation is normal, but a significant and sudden change may warrant further investigation.

This is especially true if it's accompanied by other symptoms or behavioral changes. Here are a few reasons to consider.

Medical Factors

Medication: Certain medications, such as antidepressants or antihypertensives, can alter sexual performance.
Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly testosterone, can affect how long a man lasts in bed.
Health Conditions: Some medical conditions, like diabetes or cardiovascular issues, can also impact sexual performance.

Psychological Factors

Stress and Anxiety: Elevated stress levels can affect sexual performance in different ways, either hastening or delaying ejaculation.
Performance Anxiety: Sometimes, the pressure to perform can actually make a man last longer than usual. This is possibly due to fear of premature ejaculation.
Relationship Dynamics: Emotional factors within the relationship can also influence sexual performance.

What To Do Next?

Open Communication: The first step in understanding what's going on is to have an open and honest conversation about the issue.
Consult a Healthcare Provider: If the change is significant and persistent, it might be beneficial for the partner to consult a urologist for a more comprehensive evaluation.

Takeaways

While lasting longer in bed isn't necessarily a problem in itself, a sudden change in sexual performance can be a sign of an underlying issue.

The best approach would be to discuss the issue openly and consider seeking professional advice if needed.
