What to do if you CAN'T FINISH?! | Delayed Ejaculation ft. Dr. Alex Tatem

Medical Options

Medical treatments for delayed ejaculation often involve off-label use of medications, as there are no FDA-approved drugs specifically for this condition. Alex Tatem emphasizes the importance of consulting a urologist who specializes in sexual medicine to explore these options. He notes, "Although not treating delayed ejaculation itself is unlikely to cause any major medical issues, we do know that men and couples that are experiencing delayed ejaculation can have significant friction in their relationships" 1. Rena Malik adds that social media has enhanced communication among experts, improving treatment visibility and reducing stigma 1.

   

Therapy & Counseling

Therapy and counseling play a crucial role in addressing delayed ejaculation, focusing on both individual and couple dynamics. Alex Tatem recommends sex therapy as a valuable tool, noting that it can help couples adopt strategies to make their sex life more enjoyable and less stressful 2. He highlights the benefits of open communication, stating, "What couples can really do to help achieve orgasm easier is just use communication, talk to each other, say, this feels good for me, this doesn't feel good for me, and just be honest about it" 3. Rena Malik supports this approach, suggesting telemedicine as a convenient option for accessing therapy 3.
