Explanation
This comic is titled "Pick-Up Lines That Don't Work." A man at what appears to be a bar tells a woman: "I can orgasm on command, but only during the first two minutes of sex." The woman looks unimpressed.
The humor is in the man's attempt to frame what is clearly a significant sexual shortcoming -- premature ejaculation -- as though it were an impressive skill or superpower. By phrasing it as "on command," he tries to spin an embarrassing problem into a selling point, but the qualifier "only during the first two minutes" immediately undermines any appeal. The joke works on the gap between what the man thinks sounds impressive and what his statement actually communicates to his prospective partner.
The votey panel shows the same man lying in bed saying "Annnnd GO!" -- confirming that he does indeed treat the experience as a timed event and further emphasizing the absurdity of his "ability."
