Menarini launches “Commit to Control PE”

Menarini has recently launched its advocacy to “Commit to Control PE” that focuses in promoting awareness on PE or premature ejaculation. Menarini is the world’s largest Italian biopharmaceutical company in the world who developed Dapoxetine, the first and only drug specifically developed for the treatment of premature ejaculation.

The summit was attended by experts such as Dr. Margie Holmes, noted and popular author and psychologist specializing in love making therapy as well as Dr. Dennis Serrano, a urologist and men’s health expert. 

Celebrity couples such as Anthony Pangilinan and Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan, Paolo Abrera and Suzie Entrata, Lander Vera-Perez and Regine Tolentino was also invited to share what they know about PE, or do they know this exist and take on their views and opinion on this issue.

So what is PE?

Dr. Dennis Serrano explains the condition: Premature ejaculation (PE) occurs when a man is unable to control or delay ejaculation on his own wish after vaginal penetration, resulting in short latency time and decreased sexual satisfaction, as well as personal distress and interpersonal difficulty. Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common sexual dysfunction in men, even higher than Erectile Dysfunction.

Dr. Margie Holmes stressed that the issue centers more on lack of control and should be measured not just by time but more on the ability to satisfy one’s partner.

RJ Ledesma, the summit host established early on: “Men with PE often report emotional and relationship distress and some avoid pursuing sexual relationships altogether because of PE-related embarrassment. But the issue is not isolated to men as female partners also experience emotional and psychological distress which often leads to unwanted stress in the relationship.”

During the summit, necessary actions that should be taken by a sufferer surfaced and were confirmed: begin by facing up to the issue... work with your partner --- be supportive of each other's needs and lack, discuss with your partner and the most crucial step, consult with your doctor.

Menarini developed a drug called Dapoxetine to help address the issue. And not only that, they had set up a website – www.controlPE.ph that help guide a man and his partner in determining if he suffers from this condition and find the doctor for him.

Menarini is determined to bring to the forefront of our consciousness the issue of PE so let’s be open minded about it.
