Struggling with PE?

Premature ejaculation is prevalent between 15-25% of men.* It is the most often reported sexual complaint in those with a penis who are under 60 years. In penis owners with PE, the ejaculation occurs before they wish it to.
Some people complain of PE although they last 5–10 minutes and some others consider their ejaculation time normal even if it is between only 1–2 minutes. So really it’s about you and your feeling towards it and whether it’s causing you upset.

There are LOTS of ways to get help with PE.
Some medications, for example SSRIs (antidepressants) can be used off the label and often help. Please attend your doctor and have a conversation with them about your options.

Numbing creams and condoms may help to reduce sensations.

Kegal and pelvic floor exercises can be done daily to help.

I recommend mindfulness too: @calm and @headspace are great apps.

If you have been struggling for a while and find it distressing or having an impact on your sex life then maybe sitting down with a Psychosexual Therapist and getting support could be a good idea.
There can be exercises given (Stop/start technique or Squeeze technique Self-sensate is a great tool also). Working alongside some CBT and gaining an understanding as to what may be happening for you.
Alongside this, couple therapy can be of great benefit with Sensate Focus being used to take the pressure off ejaculation, decreasing anxiety and cultivating intimacy alongside helping with communication.
