Q7. Should I talk about my premature ejaculation with my partner?

A7. Yes. It is a good idea to discuss any sexual problem such as this with your partner as it tends to affect both of you. A condition such as premature ejaculation affects your ability to ejaculate when ready which means that sexual intercourse is rushed and unsatisfactory for both of you. This is upsetting for your partner especially if she wants to get pregnant and start a family. Talking to your partner means that you can get any problems out into the open and find a way of resolving any underlying issues. It is better to share these issues as not doing so often results in relationship problems in the long term. Your partner is the best person to offer help and support. Another option is to discuss your problem with a professional such as a sex therapist. They will encourage both of you to talk through any problems you may have and to try out several sexual activities at home. Find out more in our treating premature ejaculation section.
