Happy Wife, Happy Life: Commit to Control PE
Sexual
intimacy is a personal matter that couples need to be more open with their
partners about what satisfies them. Given that the two of you share a
special bond, there's no reason for you to not be comfortable about discussing
what you like - and don't like about sex. After all, an activity that is meant
to be enjoyed, should provide fulfillment for both parties.
As such,
Menarini Philippines together with the Philippine Urological Association,
boldly launched its Commit to Control PE Advocacy campaign last year to address
one of the more pressing issues regarding sexual intimacy - premature
ejaculation. The campaign is meant to make couples more comfortable about
discussing their intimacy concerns with each other, without it being a cause of
insecurity or dissatisfaction. This is because premature ejaculation can
gravely affect one's relationship when left undiscussed - and untreated.
Recently, I
was invited in Happy Wife, Happy Life Event, which was held at the Satin Room
of the Seda Hotels in BGC. It aimed to shed better insight about what premature
ejaculation is all about, and that it is not something to be embarrassed about
because it can be controlled. The event was hosted by popular celebrity
columnist RJ Ledesmaand featured a very insightful talk from sex and
relationship guru, Dr. Margie Holmes, concerning "the love that last
is better". Also present at the event was Dr. Dennis Serrano, who
talked about the “basics” of premature ejaculation to help the guests have a
better understanding of this condition.
What is premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation is when a man ejaculates with little
sexual stimulation and before the man wishes.This can lead to a decrease in
sexual satisfaction and quality of life for men and their partners. Premature
ejaculation can take two forms. Men can have premature ejaculation from the
first time they have sex (lifelong), or develop premature ejaculation later in
life, even after many years of normal ejaculatory experience (acquired).
Is there any difference between “normal” ejaculation and
premature ejaculation?
In men with premature ejaculation, the mechanism of
ejaculation is the same as in men without premature ejaculation, but it happens
with a diminished sense of control. Otherwise, ejaculation for a man with
premature ejaculation is the same for a man without premature
ejaculation. Normal ejaculation is a reflex action controlled by the brain
and the nervous system. Men with premature ejaculation have compared their
inability to control ejaculation to a sneeze. Think about sneezing as another
reflex and how hard it is to control. In some ways, premature ejaculation is
the same – men can feel that it is about to happen but they cannot do anything
to stop it. This is because, like a sneeze, ejaculation is a reflex action
that is controlled by the brain and nervous system. Once triggered, it
can’t be stopped.
Is there a treatment for premature ejaculation?
Dapoxetine is said to be the first and only drug
specifically developed for the treatment of premature ejaculation. For more
information on premature ejaculation, please refer to www.controlPE.ph
What is the side effects may be associated with Dapoxetine?
Based on robust trials involving over 16,000 men worldwide, Dapoxetine is
proven to be well-tolerated. Side effects due to dapoxetine are usually mild to
moderate and are more frequent in the first week of treatment. Such side
effects includes nausea, dizziness and headache.
Menarini Philippines strongly believes in this advocacy
which is often left untreated because it is a topic that is usually considered
taboo even in these modern times. The pharmaceutical giant hopes to make a
stronger impact among Filipino couples on their campaign this year with more
events like this.
