Did he use the technique of edging? Did he douse his member in men's climax delay spray?
While all those are great ways to last longer in the sack, the answer is no - he actually listened to classical music to hit my, ahem, high notes.
In my new no holds barred series, I'll be answering YOUR biggest

Got a sex dilemma of your own? Pop your question in the form above and I'll answer it.
Q. I'm a 23 year old man and I've never lasted longer than a minute in bed. As I'm sporty and fit, women always expect me to have tons of stamina and in reality I'm a total flop.
I recently made the mistake of confiding in my mates and they now call me 'One Minute Dan'.
I laugh it off in the pub but it's actually destroying every aspect of my life. Is there anything I can do to last longer between the sheets? It's ruined every relationship I've had.
Georgie says:
It's no surprise this is causing you huge distress, in and out of the bedroom.
Georgie answers your sex questions - Tips for tiny Peckers
You're fit, sporty, and women are expecting you to be a stallion between the sheets. The pressure can be immense.
That "One Minute Dan" nickname? Not helpful. Banter aside, it's chipped away at your confidence, and that kind of
Don't panic. PE is very common in younger men and often caused by psychological issues and performance anxiety.
It doesn't define your worth or what you can offer in a relationship but I understand you want to last longer.
Here are some steps you can take to tackle the issue...
Rule out any medical issues
If you're experiencing any problems in the bedroom then it's always a good idea to consult a GP first and just rule out any underlying medical issues.
Sometimes erectile dysfunction can be caused by an underlying condition, or
Focus on foreplay
I've said it before and I'll say it again: good sex isn't just about penetrative sex. We need to forget that outdated notion.
If you ask most women what makes them orgasm, it isn't intercourse.
Most women need clitoral stimulation to climax, so spend about 15 minutes on foreplay, as most women need about 14 minutes of sexual stimulation to orgasm.
Sex toys aren't cheating
Some men get a little offended when women bring sex toys into the bedroom - but it's time to ditch the ridiculous idea that toys equal a "cheating orgasm".
They don't. What they do offer is a brilliant way to help women reach climax.
Think of them as a helping hand during foreplay or sex - not a replacement, but a teammate.
Ditch boozing

It's no secret that too much booze can wreak havoc between the sheets - especially when it comes to lift off.
Men who are dependent on alcohol have a 60 to 70 per cent chance of suffering from erectile dysfunction, with premature ejaculation and a
To stay harder than a Sunday Times crossword, ditch drinking before getting busy in the bedroom.
Edging
This is a brilliant technique to help guys suffering from PE and help them last longer than a Bridgerton boxset.
During masturbation or sex, stop stimulation just before ejaculation. Wait until the urge to climax fades, then start again.
Repeat this three to four times before orgasm and it will help you last longer after time.
Without the pressure to climax quickly, edging can remove performance anxiety, creating a more relaxed and enjoyable experience in the bedroom.
Top tip: edging isn't just for men — women can seriously benefit from it, too. By getting close to orgasm, then backing off before going all the way, you can build up even more intense pleasure.
Personally, if I'm after a longer, stronger climax, I'll use edging during sex as well.
Use the squeezing technique

This technique is simple but seriously effective.
When close to climax, gently squeeze the base of the penis for a few seconds. This can delay ejaculation by reducing arousal.
It works better with a partner's cooperation, so don't be afraid to talk about what you're going to do beforehand to stop any awkward moments later. After all, communication is the key to great sex.
Wear desensitising condoms
Not only are condoms great for practising safe sex but if you're suffering from PE they're a great way to reduce sensation.
Opt for thicker ones and ones with numbing agents (benzocaine or lidocaine) to help you last longer.
Try Boots Ultra Endurance Condoms - a 12-pack costs £8.99.
Try a delay spray
These days there's a sex aid for just about everything in the bedroom - and I'm all for using them.
One of my ex-lovers swore by delay spray and had zero shame about it.
Around 10 minutes before sex he'd get me to spray him down, and we actually made it part of our foreplay routine, usually after a sensual massage.
It became less of a performance tool and more of a turn-on for both of us.
Try Lovehoney's Tauro Extra Strong Delay Spray for Men (£16.99).
Make a sex playlist
While music can't directly stop PE, it can help distract from performance anxiety.
Listening to your favourite tunes can boost mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and potentially increase endurance.
One of my exes - who could last for hours between the sheets - used to swear by a bit of Beethoven.
He said it helped him last longer than one of his symphonies,
and he didn't just help me hit the high notes - he composed a masterpiece.

Meet our sexpert
In her eight years at The Sun, there's not much our Georgie hasn't seen - or done - and she's loved every outrageous minute.
"People often ask how I became a sexpert," she says. "Well, I've been fascinated by sex and relationships for as long as I can remember.
"As a teen, I devoured women's mags full of scandalous confessions and steamy tips - and I was obsessed with
Sex and the City
.
"Maybe I was manifesting my inner Carrie Bradshaw from day one.
"I'd always dreamed of working at The Sun - and when I finally landed the job, I found my niche fast: going to sex parties and oversharing about my frequently chaotic love life.
"Over the years, I've built real trust within the kink and swinging community and I've interviewed hundreds of people about their sex lives.
"Add to that my own, um, 'field research,' and let's just say I know what makes good sex great."
Georgie says being a sexpert is about having life experience, curiosity, a sense of humour - and plenty of adventures along the way.
"There's not much that shocks me these days," she continues. "Except maybe a man who doesn't believe in foreplay.
"But nothing makes me happier than hearing a reader say my advice helped them feel more confident (and satisfied) in bed.
"Now I'll be answering your burning sex questions - and dishing out practical advice to help get you back in the saddle."

Love Island is like Hunger Games…I'm 30 & still never had boyfriend – here's reason I blame show, says Olivia Hawkins

LOVE Island 'villain' Olivia Hawkins has compared her two stints on the show to The Hunger Games – and admits they led to her 'losing herself'. 6 Olivia Hawkins, who now stars on Celebs Go Dating, has compared her two stints on Love Island to The Hunger Games Credit: ©Nic Serpell-Rand 2024 6 The reality star, above with Maxwell Samuda, says she lost herself after appearing on Love Island Credit: Rex 6 Olivia, 30, says fellas never ask her out after she was first painted as a troublemaker in the villa Credit: Rex In fact, the beauty, who has been an actress and a ring girl, claims she has never had a proper 'boyfriend'. In an exclusive chat with the Sun on Sunday, Olivia said the telly dating contest reminds her of the brutal fight for survival in dystopian movie series The Hunger Games because 'you never know when you're going to be dumped'. She explains: 'It can feel competitive with everyone the same age, feeling like you're at risk of being dumped. "I find dating hard because the majority of people I meet have watched Love Island, or know of my character on the show. It's hard not to be prejudged. 'I was the villain of the villa. They just saw me as a fiery character. Now I get told I'm quite intimidating. Men don't approach me because they think I won't be responsive. 'But that's a misconception. I'm the most approachable person ever. Men think I'll be hard work, and of course I like the finer things in life, but I ­provide that for myself.' Recalling how the programme affected her, Olivia adds: 'After Love Island, I got to a point where maybe I just lost myself a bit. "You've been painted as this one person, and then it's almost like a persona that you think, 'Oh, that's obviously not me, but do I have to keep that up?'.' The Brighton-born beauty, who starred in James Bond film No Time To Die with Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas, is now taking part in another TV show, Celebs Go Dating, in search of romance. During her first Love Island appearance, she coupled up with Will Young, Olivia Hawkins' Bold New Chapter in Reality TV "She slated the boys who kissed new women behind their original partner's back, despite female friends also doing that. And when she took part in Despite dating a string of hunks — including EastEnders star She says: 'All I want is a partner to be there for me and be my soulmate, and to have a shoulder to lean on. I'd just love someone to take me for being me and get to know the person away from the screen. 'I felt like I really had to try and prove everyone wrong or show a different side to me. 'But really, I needed to just put myself first, and as long as I'm happy with myself, that's all that matters. 6 Olivia with Luca Bish on the show 6 The beauty says she has never had a proper 'boyfriend' Credit: Rex 6 She feels her reputation on Love Island has put men off committing to her Credit: Getty 'My romantic life has been a real journey, a rollercoaster. I've never been in a relationship. Throughout my twenties, I really settled for the bare minimum and I didn't, I guess, realise my worth. 'I'm now finally at that place where I just don't want to settle for any less. I don't need to put up with a d**khead. 'I know what I bring to the table, so if someone else can't match that, then my time is so precious, as is theirs . . . I don't want to waste my time on anyone.' All I want is a partner to be there for me and be my soulmate, and just to have a shoulder to lean on Olivia Hawkins Olivia will put her romantic fate in the hands of matchmakers She will be joined on the show by singletons Kerry Katona, Christine McGuinness, S Club 7's They will be paired with non-celebrity strangers the TV experts believe could be perfect for them — and fans will see the couples then go on a string of dates. After the brutality of Love Island, Olivia says she is enjoying the process. She explains: 'On Celebs, you're never dumped unless you do something really bad! 'Sod the haters' 'That is the nicest part about it. I have full control and I'm not competing with anyone. 'But also, it's in my hands to make sure I'm making the right decision for myself. And I really do feel like I put myself first on this series.' Olivia insists she knows what she wants in a man, revealing. 'At this stage in my life, looks only go so far. 'I've met some absolutely gorgeous men and it just hasn't been there because the personality wasn't there to match. Sometimes, guys can be so attractive and that's all they rely on, and that makes them unattractive. 'I definitely wouldn't say looks are the be all and end all. I don't want to get to 90 and think, 'Oh, the only reason I went for him was because he was 6ft 5ins and so good-looking'. 'I want to be like, 'Haven't we had the best life? We've laughed so much'. 'I need banter. I can't have someone super-sensitive, because I am quite sarcastic. So someone that can give it back to me — that's playful — and I really wanted someone ­communicative and considerate.' Revealing her dating priorities, Olivia says: 'I need someone that's family orientated. I can't compromise on that.' The Celebs Go Dating stars got a baptism of fire on the new series with a singles night straight away, where they had to pick a match to take on a sun-kissed trip to Ibiza. On Celebs, you're never dumped unless you do something really bad! And despite spending weeks on national TV wearing just a bikini, Olivia says she was more nervous walking into that party — or a 'mixer', as it is called on the show — than she was entering the villa. 'I've never been so nervous,' she admits. 'I know it's ridiculous, but because this was more focused on me and my journey, it's different.' Olivia hopes that by showing her vulnerability, fans will finally see a different side to her. And if they don't, she is past caring. She says with a laugh: 'Sod the haters. They're always going to be there. I don't worry about other people's opinions. I just live life and be happy.'

I saw real side of Dog the Bounty Hunter who howled with grief over late daughter – why grandson's death will haunt him

HOWLING towards the sky, Dog the Bounty Hunter's tough guy exterior melted away before my eyes as he recalled the tragic death of his late daughter, Barbara Katy. The unimaginable agony was etched on his face. I was witnessing a rare glimpse of the soft and tender side to Dog that very few people will ever see. Advertisement 12 Sun reporter Jessica says Dog the Bounty Hunter's tough guy exterior melted away before her eyes as he recalled the tragic death of his late daughter, Barbara Katy Credit: John Chapple 12 Jessica spoke to Dog in an exclusive interview in Florida on October 7, 2021 Credit: John Chapple 12 Dog's 13-year-old step-grandson Anthony, centre, has been shot and killed by his father Gregory Zecca, pictured right alongside his mum Francie Credit: Instagram 12 Greg Zecca shot and killed his 13-year-old son Anthony in what is believed to be a tragic accident Credit: Instagram And my heart broke too as the father-of-12 choked back tears, reliving the terrible day Barbara was killed, and sharing the grief no parent should ever have to endure. Advertisement Despite his gruff appearance, what quickly became clear to me that day was that the iconic 72-year-old reality star is actually a tenderhearted family man - a secret he keeps well hidden beneath his hard-as-nails exterior. I saw that nothing is more important to him than the people he loves. That is why I know that Dog, whose real name is Duane Chapman, will be utterly devastated beyond words about the horrific death of his beloved step-grandson in a tragic gun accident last weekend. His entire family was left reeling when Dog's stepson, Gregory Zecca, shot and killed his own son, Anthony, 13, in a tragic accident at their Florida apartment - near the home where I had visited Dog and his wife Francie, who is Gregory's mother, four years ago. At that time America was gripped by the bizarre disappearance of Brian Laundrie, who had returned from a road trip without his girlfriend Advertisement It was a chilling reminder for Dog how his daughter had died at the same age in a devastating car crash in Alaska in 2006 - the day before her dad's wedding to his fifth wife Beth Smith - when the stolen SUV she was travelling in rolled and smashed into a tree. Dog quietly confided to me during our hours' long emotionally charged chat how Barbara's early death inspired him to join the nationwide manhunt for the missing murder suspect. He has snared more than 6,000 criminals in his dangerous but lucrative job as a bondsman - tracking down wanted criminals for cash. Dog is a familiar face on American TV, his public persona is hugely entertaining, and he knows how to put on a great show when the cameras are on him. Heartbreaking videos show Dog the Bounty Hunter dancing with grandson, 13, just months before dad 'shot dead teen' And yet behind the scenes, Dog wept as he told me how fans reached out to him four years ago, urging him to join the Advertisement "They are Dog buddies in the sky," the bounty hunter sobbed. After Gabby's body was discovered in Coincidentally Dog and Francie also happened to be in Florida at the same time, as his new wife had told him she wanted to go back to her home state to "put her feet in the sand, and put her feet in the ocean". Again I watched as Dog's hard man act melted further away as he told me fondly how Francie had reignited his passion for bringing wanted fugitives to justice following his late wife Beth's death. He told me softly: "I had lost my bounty hunting enthusiasm after Beth, and then I looked at Francine and she said 'I'll love you forever,' and I said I'll love you too. Advertisement "I knew in my heart there was someone that was going to pray for me and say, 'Be good, Dog.' "And all of a sudden, I felt like Dog again."

By the time I met them Dog had already grown very close to Francie's family in Florida, especially her son Greg and grandson Anthony. Which is why today I can imagine him howling at the sky in sorrow once again. Throughout his life Dog has been blighted by a Advertisement As a child growing up in Denver, Colorado, Dog endured regular beatings with a wooden paddle from his dad - a deeply religious and battle-hardened US army officer. If the idea was to toughen the boy up, it worked. I had lost my bounty hunting enthusiasm after Beth, and then I looked at Francine and she said 'I'll love you forever,' and I said I'll love you too. I knew in my heart there was someone that was going to pray for me and say, 'Be good, Dog.' And all of a sudden, I felt like Dog again Dog the Bounty Hunter By the time he was 13, Dog had dropped out of school and joined a dangerous motorbike gang called the Disciples. He spent years in and out of jail for a string of offences including armed robbery, and fathered a child with his girlfriend Debbie White while they were still in their teens. But she hid her pregnancy from Dog and later took her own life. Advertisement Looking back years later he wrote: "Because of my religious upbringing, I thought my dad was punishing me for being a terrible sinner. "Until very recently, I never understood that none of his abuse was my fault. Just thinking of the abuse I endured can make me cry.' 'I spent the first 23 years of my life on the wrong side of the law. The only thing I knew about the law was a thousand ways to break it,' he added in his 2007 book, You Can Run But You Can't Hide. Murder charge 12 In 1976, Dog was convicted of murder and was sentenced to five years in prison Credit: Getty When he was 19, Dog married first wife LaFonda Honeycutt and the couple had two sons, Duane Lee and Leland. Advertisement But in 1976, Dog was convicted of first degree murder - he was in a car when his friend accidentally shot an alleged drug dealer in a fight over a cannabis deal. His criminal record has caused ongoing problems for Dog. LaFonda left and married his best friend, and as a result of his conviction, he cannot own a gun and uses a Taser for his bounty hunting instead. He was also barred from entering the UK to appear as a Celebrity Big Brother housemate in 2012. Soon after he left jail and started his new career as a bounty hunter, Dog had a short-lived marriage to second wife Anne Tegnell. They had three children - one died shortly after birth and the other two were raised by their mother. Advertisement In 1982, Dog wed wife number three, Lyssa Britain, and had three more children - Barbara, Tucker and Lyssa. But he had an affair with Beth - a blonde bombshell with a 38F chest - after they met at a local police station, where she had been arrested for shoplifting. Shock allegation 12 Dog's daughter Lyssa said she accused him of rape so she could escape his rows with Beth Credit: Instagram His marriage to Beth was stormy from the start, and Lyssa - who was living with her dad - claims she hated their rows so much she made up a horrendous allegation. 'I [falsely] accused my father of raping me when I was 11,' Lyssa admitted later. Advertisement 'It was a horrible life that I never wanted to go back to, living with him and Beth and the fighting and the drugs. 'When I got to my mother's, although she drank, it was much more peaceful. I was willing to do anything to not go back.' Dog was devastated when Beth left and married his childhood best friend, Keith Barmore, in 1991, and had a daughter, Cecily. "He was a thief with a heroin habit," Dog wrote later. "It just about broke my heart when I heard Beth was dating him. 'When I heard they got married, I got physically sick… Friends told me he was abusing her something awful." Advertisement I [falsely] accused my father of raping me when I was 11 Lyssa Dog wed Tawny Marie in 1992 – but he and Beth continued seeing each other behind their new partners' backs. Beth and Dog got back together in 1995 and she became the youngest licensed bondsman in Colorado at 29. They couple had two more children, Bonnie and Garry, and Dog adopted Cecily. In 2004 he landed his own TV show, Dog The Bounty Hunter, and they planned to remarry. But the night before their dream Hawaiian wedding, Dog received the horrific news that Barbara had been killed. Advertisement Incredibly, he went ahead with the wedding as planned, breaking the terrible news to his friends and family at the reception. 12 Dog went ahead with the wedding to Beth and broke the news to friends and family at the reception Credit: Getty 12 Beth suffered from throat cancer before her death Credit: Instagram After Barbara's death, her son went to live with his biological father, Travis Mimms. But in 2011, Dog and Beth took temporary custody after hearing a recording of Travis allegedly physically abusing the nine-year-old. Advertisement Perhaps remembering his own brutal childhood, Dog said: 'To hear the audiotape of my grandson being abused was torture.' Beth lost her battle with throat cancer in 2019 and two years after she died he tied the knot for the sixth time with Francie. An investigation into the horrific accident involving his step-grandson remains ongoing. A spokesperson for Dog and Francie told TMZ: "We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony."
