What happens in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom. That’s why some couples would rather keep quite about issues that could affect their relationship Among the problems couples encounter is Premature Ejaculation or PE.
Menarini, the world’s largest Italian biopharmaceutical company in the world, has recently launched an advocacy that focuses on promoting awareness on premature ejaculation among Filipino couples. Among their projects is the first ever summit on Premature Ejaculation, and the website to guide a man and his partner about PE.
The summit on PE invited celebrity couples and industry experts to discuss about relationships and PE. The celebrity couples, Anthony Pangilinan and Maricel-Laxa Pangilinan, Paolo Abrera and wife Suzie Entrata, Regine Tolentino and husband Lander Vera-Perez, gave their thoughts on how important communication is in a relationship. They also shared some tips on how couples can openly discuss sensitive issues like PE.
Experts were there providing guidance and wisdom: Dr. Margie Holmes, noted and popular author and psychologist specializing in sex therapy, as well as urologist and men’s health expert Dr. Dennis Serrano.
According to Dr. Dennis Serrano, “Premature ejaculation (PE) occurs when a man is unable to control or delay ejaculation on his own wish after vaginal penetration, resulting in short latency time and decreased sexual satisfaction, as well as personal distress and interpersonal difficulty. Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common sexual dysfunction in men, even higher than Erectile Dysfunction.”
Dr. Margie Holmes further stressed that the issue on PE centers more on lack of control and should be measured not just by time but more on the ability to satisfy one’s partner.
PE can be treated by Behavioural Techniques, Psychological Counselling, Reducing Penile Sensation, and Drug Treatment.
During the summit on PE, Menarini also presented the drug Dapoxetine which is the first and only drug specifically developed for the treatment of premature ejaculation. Dapoxetine will be available in the Philippines by June 2014 in leading drugstores.
