Short (text version):
If you want to dive deeper into the theory:
You have the parasympathetic nervous system. It's a complementary system that stimulates the "rest-and-digest" or "feed and breed" responses that occur when the body is at rest. One of its primary functions is initiating arousal at the beginning of intercourse and engorging the penis.
Parasympathetic system is activated in the beginning of sex, but as your arousal grows your sympathetic system takes over: heart rate goes up, you breath more often. By the time you orgasm, sympathetic is fully activated, while parasympathetic system is completely de-activated
The longer you keep your parasympathetic system activated, the longer you will last and control your orgasm.
With this in mind, how do you keep your parasympathetic system activated for as long as possible?
The simple answer is: you need to relax.
