Well if you can do it for that long, there is nothing wrong with your body.

One thing that happens to some men over 35 if that the way their erections work changes. When you were 18 it went up at the slightest stimulation and stayed up for a long time, even if the stimulus was removed. As you get older, the erections tend to wilt faster when the stimulus is gone. But you can soon get hard again with renewed stimulus.

In the ESO book (extended sexual orgasm), the authors who are both doctors recommend an exercise for older men with your problem. They get their wives to stimulate them to erection manually. Then stop - wait for it to wilt... then start again, carrying on until erection returns. After several cycles of this, the man gets used to the fact that erections can easily be regained with fresh stimulation.

It makes little difference if the stimulation is physical or tactile. Which is why it helps to focus on sex when you are having it The fact you are not cumming every time does not matter - the urge will build up and you will cum whenever your body wants to get rid of semen.

It's just performance anxiety. Keep going. Performance anxiety hits older men more than younger becuase in young men, the hormones are raging like a forest fire - almost nothing will dampen the erection reflex. As you get older and the hormones subside, the doubts in the back of ones mind get more "air time", and this can cause a contraction in the smooth muscle of the penis. This hampers erection, becuase this muscle needs to be relaxed to led the blood flow in.

Tension...

But semen retention can allow the hormones to build up again, and a more youthful response is possible. The optimum gap between ejaculations varies from male to male, depending on age, diet and body type.

It might help you to do the exact exercise described in the book, not during sex, but on it's own, if she is willing to participate. It will boost your confidence.
