Most men have Death Grip and don't even know it
It’s not just you
You might be one of them.
Death Grip Syndrome affects millions of men worldwide, yet most don't realize they have it. In fact, many think their symptoms are actually advantages.
Here's why you might be suffering in silence without knowing it.
Death grip and the performance illusion
When you can't climax during sex, society tells you that's a good thing.
Premature ejaculation gets all the media attention. Every magazine article, every Reddit thread, every conversation among friends focuses on lasting longer in bed.

A lotttttt of books on premature ejaculation
So when you find yourself unable to finish during intercourse, your first thought isn't "I have a problem." It's "Thank god I don't come too fast like other guys."
You wear your inability to climax like a badge of honor. You think you're sexually superior because you can go for hours without finishing.
But you're not performing better. You're performing worse.
Death grip and the sensation denial
Here's what nobody talks about: penetration should feel incredible.
When you have Death Grip Syndrome, penetration feels dull, muted, or even numb. But admitting sex doesn't feel amazing is social suicide.
Every guy pretends intercourse is mind-blowing. Movies, porn, and locker room talk all reinforce this narrative. So when sex feels disappointing compared to your solo sessions, you keep quiet.
You fake enthusiasm with your partner. You make the right sounds, say the right things, but deep down you know your hand feels better than her pussy.
This isn't normal. Sex should feel better than masturbation, not worse.
You probably have Death Grip Syndrome if:
You can masturbate to orgasm easily but struggle to finish during sex
Penetration feels less intense than you expected
You need to use your hand to come with your partner
Your erections are weaker during intercourse than during masturbation
Sound familiar? You can also do a test here.
Why Death Grip flies under the radar
It's the opposite of what men expect sexual problems to look like
Most sexual dysfunction involves coming too quickly or not getting hard. Death Grip is different, you get erections, you can maintain them, but you can't finish naturally.
Since it doesn't fit the typical erectile dysfunction model, many men don't recognize it as a real problem.
There's no cultural awareness
Unlike premature ejaculation, Death Grip Syndrome isn't discussed openly. There are no commercials for DGS treatments. Doctors rarely bring it up during checkups.
You're left to figure out on your own that your masturbation habits are destroying your sex life.
The relationship impact you're missing
Your partner notices, even if you think you're hiding it well.
When you can't climax naturally, she assumes:
You're not attracted to her anymore
She's doing something wrong
She wants to see you climax, it's how she knows she's satisfying you sexually.
Breaking the silence
Death Grip Syndrome is incredibly common and completely treatable.
Most men see significant improvement within 30-90 days of changing their masturbation habits. The key is recognizing you have a problem in the first place.
Stop pretending your sexual difficulties are advantages. Start treating them like the fixable condition they actually are.
Your girlfriend deserves to see you climax during sex. You deserve to feel the full pleasure that intercourse should provide.
The first step is admitting you might have Death Grip Syndrome.
The second step is doing something about it.
