While you might both orgasm at the same time, it's more likely that one of you will be first. Keep this in mind when it comes to dealing with premature ejaculation. If that's you, don't sweat it. Keep her in the window: It will take about 90 seconds to lose your erection, so she should still be able to climax if you're providing consistent clitoral stimulation with your pelvis.

And if she climaxes first? Enjoy her orgasm, and congratulate yourself on a job well done. Most women have an innate capacity to achieve multiple orgasms, so get to work on that second one.
