Premature Ejaculation (PE)

Premature Ejaculation is a condition where ejaculation occurs too quickly during sexual activity, often before or shortly after penetration. This can be distressing and may impact intimacy and relationships.

At Pleasure Heals, we use a range of techniques such as sensate focus exercises, mindfulness, somatic body work, and Sexological Bodywork to help you develop greater control over your response.

These therapies help to reduce performance anxiety and increase awareness of your body’s sensations, allowing for a more fulfilling and confident sexual experience. We work with you to establish a deeper connection with your partner, improving intimacy and sexual satisfaction.

Understanding Premature Ejaculation

Premature Ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual concern that many men face, characterised by the involuntary ejaculation that occurs sooner than desired during sexual intercourse, often before or shortly after penetration. While it can occur occasionally, it is considered a disorder if it consistently happens, causing distress, frustration, or anxiety.

There are several potential causes of premature ejaculation, including psychological factors like anxiety, stress, or past sexual trauma, as well as physical factors such as hormonal imbalances, nerve sensitivity, or underlying medical conditions.

Performance anxiety, fear of not satisfying a partner, and unresolved emotional issues may further exacerbate the condition, creating a cycle of pressure and worry that worsens the experience.

At Pleasure Heals, we believe that addressing premature ejaculation requires a holistic approach that targets both the mind and the body. By understanding the emotional and physical contributors to PE, we help our clients regain control over their sexual health and experience greater satisfaction in their intimate relationships.

How Therapy Can Help

At Pleasure Heals, our approach to treating premature ejaculation is built on a combination of sexological bodywork, sex coaching , and mindfulness techniques. These therapeutic modalities aim to reduce anxiety, increase body awareness, and help you gain more control over your sexual responses.

Sexological Bodywork: Sexological Bodywork includes principles of Conscious Sensuality, supporting us to turn our focus inwards, to the sensations we experience in our bodies, including information sourcing from our tissues, structures, trapped emotions and even the stories we hold in our nervous system which contribute to our habits and help shape how we experience ourselves and what is possible.We incorporate hands-on techniques that help you reconnect with your body’s sensations. This can involve pelvic floor exercises, breathing techniques, and relaxation methods that help you stay present during intimate moments. By building awareness of physical sensations and tension points, you can increase your ability to control the timing of ejaculation.

Sex Coaching and Communication: Open communication with your partner is vital in overcoming premature ejaculation. Our sex therapy sessions encourage discussions around intimacy, expectations, and emotional needs. These conversations can help reduce pressure, increase emotional closeness, and allow both partners to feel more supported during sexual experiences.

Mindfulness and Relaxation: Stress and anxiety often play a key role in premature ejaculation. We teach mindfulness practices that help reduce anxiety and bring you into the present moment. Techniques such as deep breathing and focused relaxation help you release performance anxiety and cultivate a sense of calm and confidence during sexual activity.

By combining our therapeutic techniques, Pleasure Heals creates a comprehensive, individualised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Whether your premature ejaculation is triggered by psychological factors or physical causes, we address both aspects to create lasting solutions that improve your sexual health and enhance your relationship.
