Causes? Various factors come into play. It is worth checking out your stress levels, diet, health, age.
Also, we are only human and sometimes our bodies or our state or mind at the time can just plain let us down.
However, in this one area of life we always expect to able to succeed because, after all, our past experiences since puberty lead us to think it will never let us down, so why should it this time? It's like breathing or eating.
And so, after it happens a couple of times, the fear of it happening again haunts your mind each time you do the deed, and that fear itself then becomes a factor also.
Solution?
I fixed my problem and it went away.
As well as working on my health, diet and exercise, I have found two things have helped the most:
Body - I take a very small regular dose of Cialis every day. I don't think I actually need it, but like a life jacket in a boat, it is always there if I do. It gives reassurance and confidence that my erection is not going to go floppy after 15 minutes of sex, even if my mind starts to get in the way of my body's pleasure. Stupid brain!
Mind - The other thing I found that helped was talking dirty to the lady while I am doing the deed. Saying things in soft tones into her ear, like how good she feels, and how much she is turning me, how deep inside her I am, etc. keeps MY mind focused on the present and its pleasures until I get across the finish line.
Another added benefit of talking dirty (in soft polite tones I might add) to my lady love during sex is that she also gets across the line 99% of the time, sometimes before me, sometimes together.
And no, I don't think they are all faking it. And no, I don't think there is anything especially sexy about me.
It is probably for the same reason it helps me - it makes her think about how good she feels with me inside her, and how special she is to me (at least in that moment), and for a woman it is all about the feels.
Hey, this has been therapeutic to me just typing these thoughts down, and I hope it helps my fellow punters out too.
Cheers, mates.

Check out the hilarious BBC version of the comedy Coupling (not the crappy US version).
The problem is so common amongst men that they made some episodes about it in a TV sitcom.
