Premature Ejaculation: How a Woman Can Talk to Her Partner About It

If your partner experiences premature ejaculation, he may feel embarrassed, frustrated, and desperate for a solution. Rapid ejaculation, as it’s otherwise known, can be very difficult for a man to endure and is more common than you may think. An estimated 30% of men experience from this premature ejaculation at some point in their lives.

On average, men who are diagnosed with premature ejaculation can endure about two minutes of sexual stimulation. At that point, ejaculation occurs rather unexpectedly, much to the surprise of the two partners. While some cases are chronic and go without explanation, there are a few known causes of the affliction. Stress and psychological issues can play a large role, even if a man is not aware of the strain lurking in the background.

When a man is forced to deal with premature ejaculation – especially on a regular basis – his partner may not know what to say or how to approach the issue. However, if you see the pain and disappointment that rapid ejaculation is causing your partner, you may find it hard to stay quiet. On the other hand, the circumstances are affecting you as well and you have every right to attempt to discuss the issue with your loved one.

As with many sensitive subjects, a gentle approach is crucial. Your partner may feel as though he’s letting you down by finishing so early, so it’s very important that you pay attention to his gestures and facial expressions as you speak. He may react in any number of ways and, no matter how well you think you know him, this could be more bothersome than you expect.

Choose the right time to talk about the issue. Don’t try to start a serious conversation as he gets ready for work, or through a text message. Using a face-to-face approach (with no distractions), tell him that you’re worried about him. Explain that you can see how the problem is hurting or frustrating him, and that you want him to know he has your support. Make it clear that the issue does not bother you – and if it does, be honest but subtle. There is no need of blurting out, “It bothers me,” but you can remind him that the two of you are tackling the issue as a team. Even if you don’t get the world’s greatest response, your partner will know that you’re there whenever he’s ready to talk or seek help.
