Premature ejaculation (PE) affects many men, but they’re often too embarrassed to seek help. Jon decided to confront his PE with the help of Numan, transforming his confidence in the bedroom. Let’s see how he got on.

Can you describe the emotional or psychological effects of PE before you sought treatment?

I endured a great deal of frustration. It always made having sex a much more tense experience than it should be since I would be trying so hard for it not to be over too quickly. My wife is understanding but it definitely impacted our enjoyment of a natural part of married life. I did some research online and found some simple and effective options. It was a great relief.

What were some of the challenges or fears you faced in addressing PE, and how did you overcome them?

I suspect that I’m like many men and didn’t face up to the challenges I had. I didn’t feel able to talk to anyone about it. Then I found out I could get a discreet service and address my concerns without the direct face-to-face embarrassment. It made all the difference.

Were there any lifestyle changes you made that complemented your PE treatment?

I’ve switched to much healthier eating, lost weight, reduced my cholesterol and cut down on caffeine and alcohol. So everything that helps me live an improved lifestyle for a longer time.

How has successful treatment of PE altered your sexual confidence and intimacy?

The treatment has worked very well for me. I’m able to enjoy intimacy without worrying about ‘performance’ or ‘speed’. This has made me so much more confident and meant that we’re both fully satisfied during sex. We’ve had more sex as a result.

What advice would you give to someone feeling hesitant or embarrassed about seeking help for PE?

My advice is to bite the bullet and get help if you need it. Looking back, I’m frustrated that I left it so long to get help and get it sorted. My life is so much better now that it seems silly to have wasted so much time not being satisfied. The service is accessible and easily takes away the embarrassment factor.
