Can I take Duralast 30mg twice in one day if I want to use it once in the morning and again at night? And is there a stronger pill out there that can help with delaying ejaculation just for one-time use?

For delaying ejaculation, there are other options like **Priligy (dapoxetine)**, which is specifically designed for on-demand use.

Hey there, I'm having a bit of an uncomfortable issue that's popped up over the last couple of weeks. During sex, I'm finding myself finishing way too quickly, and it's got me a bit worried. I've been married for 9 years and we have 2 kids, and this is something totally new for me. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and what I could do about it?

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.
