I never played football so I do not have much experience in getting over this plateau that I have hit.

I know we got a lot of ex college football players and work out fanatics on this website. Do any of you guys have any advice?

It is important to know that I do not take any proteins or supplements, so those are out of the question. I also do not have a partner.

Any advice?
I am not sure what your sexual orientation has to do with bench pressing?

Go down in weight for a couple of days. You may have muscle fatigue. I find that mixing it up for a couple days gets me a little more stamina while lifting more weight than always going heavy.
