The most important thing is to talk openly and honestly with your partner about the trouble you are having.

Experts agree that the most important thing for a man’s partner to do is to remember that it’s not your problem and that you are not the cause.

The best thing to do is to openly discuss issues of P.E. or performance anxiety outside of the bedroom. The more matter of fact a partner can be in approaching this conversation, the more likely the partner is going to get through to her man.

If a partner puts the Premature Ejaculation (P.E) issue in the context of a physical problem and not a sexual performance problem, most men will be less likely to shut down or shut the partner out. The one thing sex therapists recommend is that women do not do, is tell their male partners that the P.E. doesn’t matter.

In reality, it does matter to men and by making this comment, women can push a man even further away. While some men would rather seek treatment for their P.E. alone, others might welcome the support of their partner, so a partner should open the lines of emotional communication. If a man is not open to communicating with their partner, then the partner should recommend he seek counseling from a sex therapist.
