Be Brave - Find Out Your Inner Hero

Last week while having coffee with my girlfriends at one of the cozy café, we over heard the lady that sat next to our table discuss about this topic hmmm… Well, I believe not many Asian would be so open to talk about Premature Ejaculation (PE) problems especially guys because it is a very sensitive topic. I get to know about PE during my biology class in high school years back.

Well, I decided to Be Brave and discuss something more intimate issues… something that a lot of couples suffer in silent and so called The Bedroom Problem. Initially I feel a bit shy and uneasy to discuss about this topic too. However, I’m going to make it as casual and as simple as possible to share some information to you all. Have you ever heard of the condition, premature ejaculation (PE)?

Premature ejaculation problems either it could be a temporary and can resolve by themselves without too much trouble. But some can be more serious and have a long-term, damaging effect on relationships. Recently, I received some information about PE and found out that while male impotence (or erectile dysfunction) is the more discussed topic, the “other” problem, PE is actually more common, affecting up to 1 in 3 men across Asia Pacific. 

So what is PE? This bedroom problem happens when a man experiences lack of control over ejaculation such that it happens sooner than a man or his partner would want, and causing distress for either one of them. To maintain a healthy relationship, satisfaction is quite important – so a condition like PE can indeed affect relationships and sometimes end up in separation!

Not only that! For both men and their partners, coping with PE is both emotional and physical – so it is better to approach this together as a couple. PE may be associated with low self-confidence, anxiety, feelings of shame and avoidance of sexual intimacy. I heard that PE can happen to men at any point in their maturity.

So to prevent such distress, it is important that men determine if they have this condition or should they suspect they may have PE.

Guys, if you are suffering from PE that is not the end of the world you can seek help. And gals if your man has this condition, I hope that both of you could break the stigma and be open to discuss and get help. A. Menarini (Malaysia) recently launched the digital and on-ground BE BRAVE campaign to create awareness among couples that PE is a treatable condition.

Created to lift the fog and stigma that surrounds the subject matter, the campaign brings people to BE BRAVE and break free from the silence and focus on what is more important – the solution. Finally, a campaign which reaches out to PE patients!

And how does this campaign do it you may ask?

As part of the campaign, an online quiz was designed to lessen the taboo surrounding PE by letting players go on a fun journey to find out who their “inner hero” is. Subsequently, players will be motivated to seek more info about PE.
