honey...that isn;t right.
Welcome to the board, browneyedmomma22.
Your guy could be selfish, or perhaps he's never had a lover show him or tell him what they need. Even at that, each person is different. Sex and orgasms for women are different than for men, and as Laura said, you should both be enjoying yourself.
Communication is very important, as is learning what works for you. There's a great website, www.the-clitoris.com, that really has a lot of detail. You should visit it -- and encourage him to visit it too.
We try not to be routine in our sex life. Because of that, foreplay, sex, all of it varies depending on our moods. Sometimes it's about both of us, sometimes it's just about one of us, and sometimes, we enjoy touching so much, neither of us even tries to have an orgasm.
Most men are going to be as much into their partners pleasure as they are their own. I would say the exceptions to that are men who are selfish, men who have partners that don't communicate well or are overly shy, or men who just don't know what they need to do. It's a huge turn on for them to help bring you that much pleasure!
When you talk to him, make sure you use "I" language, not "you" language. If you say "you get off too quick" it places blame on him .... if you say, "I need more time to orgasm", then he can look forward to helping you find ways. Both of you can enjoy experimenting with what works for you -- but you need to be really open with him by communicating your wants and needs. As far as him finishing too quickly, that is something that may bother him too, but it should be dealt with in a positive way if you want that to improve.

Playing an active role in improving your sex life is something that both of you will benefit from. For a lot of guys, sex can be a lot of work, and face it, that can take some of the fun out of it. Make sure you do your part to keep your sex life exciting and fun. If you start taking some of the control there, then there's no way he'll be able to skip foreplay either.

HI browney
hmmm I must say I totally agree with Laura's reply...this is not right!
it's nice to have a 'quickie' once in a while when you are both really turned on, but this is different;
with my present bf the foreplay is not that long as we are always so turned on by kissing and touching each other, but the actual IC lasts for ages, we mix fast and slow sex, have little breaks for more kissing, looking into each others eyes, stroking etc; we also change positions a lot and sometimes have some oral and manual stimulation too. normally the IC last about 1 hour or more, but on a couple of occasions we went for over 2 slow hours - it was wonderful. we also caress and stroke each other after we both come just to show a little tenderness to one another.
with my ex-husband was

I know.
ok, so you just gotta just do it. I actually would use DH's hand and masturbate myself with it to show him how to do it. I often give "commands" while intimate, things like, "touch me." "rub my nipples." "grab them hard." "rub softer." "rub harder." "faster" "slower". etc etc etc.
I've been married to DH for 5 years now and we still do this.
Maybe he knows how but doesn't know how important it is to you.
When we make love, dh ALWAYS makes sure that I have "mine" first.
