    Question

    My boyfriend and I are planning on having sex. He told me that sex lasts longer if a guy masturbates, gets a hand job or a blow job before sex. I would rather not give him a blow job, so I was wondering if this was true?

    Answer

    Please do not do anything you do not want to do! If he would like to masturbate before he has sex the first, by all means, encourage him to do so. You are not responsible for his performance! Any kind of sex puts you at risk for sexually transmitted infections, so a condom should be used, even for oral sex. Protect yourself and do not be pressured into having sex!
