I wanted to talk briefly about premature ejaculation because we are going to be speaking to a guy called Jeff Bennett from Morori Medical shortly for our podcast, who specifically has invented a device to support men who struggle with premature ejaculation. And I know that over the years I have been— especially when I was younger, I was with a guy that had that issue. I and I didn't know anything back then, and it was embarrassing, disappointing, and I didn't really understand enough to know what was really going on. And Peter and I are curious to know, with premature ejaculation, how much of it is psychological and how much of it is medical, because I know that there have been times where just the very thought of having sex is exciting enough for a man that he just shoots his load before anything's really even happened. And of course, we place so much emphasis on ejaculation just generally in sex. You know, women especially feel that it's our responsibility, I think, to, you know, for a man to come. And if they don't come, sometimes we may feel a little bit disappointed, like maybe we've done something wrong, or maybe there's, you know, there's something going on that is preventing them and it's somehow to do with us. And similarly with premature ejaculation, one can wonder the same thing, you know, what's going on there. So of course there are some things that I've been seeing for years and I don't really know enough about, I'll be really honest. Things like, you know, delay sprays, condoms that have got some some kind of delay substance inside them, pinching the head of the penis when a man is closer to ejaculation to stop him from coming, some sort of flicking technique, all sorts of things that can stop that from happening. But of course, it's always about communication, about finding out and getting information that can support people with all sorts of sexual health issues, and premature ejaculation is just one of many. So if it's something that you are struggling with, we are going to be speaking to this guy called Jeff Bennett from Morori Medical. I'm looking forward to that. Of course, you can see your doctor, um, go to a sexual health clinic, get the support that you need, speak to a sexual therapist, but we don't need to suffer in silence.
