You've been given good advice, MadCat, but I'm going to throw my experience and perspective in the mix.
My husband and I have a fantastic sex life, but he's never lasted very long during PiV. Condoms and having an orgasm first help some, but he still gets extremely excited by sex, as he very well should.
When I was younger it used to bother me a bit, but then I started thinking, 'Wow, after so many years, he still finds sex with me so attractive that he can barely contain his excitement!'
Often he's tried to hold out through distracting thoughts, sheer will, and stopping periodically. While I greatly appreciate his thoughtfulness and love feeling him inside me, knowing he's putting thought into anything other than fully enjoying it bothers me immensely. In general, I've already had at least one orgasm, I get great pleasure out of knowing he's enjoying himself, and most of PiV at this stage is about connecting, bonding, and expressing our love. So, it takes away from our physical and emotional pleasure when he tries to hold off; being fully engaged in the act for five minutes and letting himself go and savor that release is FAR better for both of us than when he tries to hold off for another few.
I've told him all of this, and while he still tries to wait once in awhile, he usually just goes with the flow and allows both of us to enjoy it as much as possible. Like I said, my pleasure isn't lacking at all since there's plenty of touching, kissing, oral, manual, and toys. We usually have sex right after I've had an orgasm or ten
, so the combined physical and psychological pleasure of sex and knowing he's enjoying it fully is enough to make me come in those few minutes of PiV. If it's not, no big deal, as we can always go again later, use other means, masturbate or just wait until next time.
Evaluating and changing our perspectives has made all the difference, turning a 'problem' into an opportunity to explore and grow.

. Lol, one thing I did find out.. he loves to get oral, he likes it a lot, he hasnt given oral to me yet, but he keeps gesturing to do it, I'll give it a go next time it comes up even though Im really nervous about it.
