Be Brave Campaign - Which Inner Hero Are You?

Just recently I was introduced to the Be Brave campaign, bringing forth a topic which has always been 'kept in the closet', so to speak. What am I refering to? Premature ejaculation (PE), a condition more common than even the dreaded erectile dysfunction. Studies show it affects up to 1 in 3 men across Asia Pacific!

The notion that only teenagers or sexually inexperienced men have PE is FALSE – men of any age can get PE. Another myth, that PE is ‘all in the mind’ is found to be FALSE as well – PE is a real medical condition involving the central nervous system. Ejaculation is a complex mechanism that involves neurotransmitters, not just a ‘mind thing’.

All right then, some education is in order, which I plan to share below.

What is PE?

PE occurs when a man has difficulty controlling ejaculation and often ejaculates with little sexual stimulation. For both men and their partners, coping with PE is both emotional and physical , PE may be associated with low self-confidence, anxiety, feelings of shame and avoidance of sexual intimacy. 

I would think it is a rather embarrassing situation to be in, which can lead to avoidance of sex by man or his partner. There is a real need to address this problem, before it leads to more problems, affecting the relationship of both parties. 

 

How to cope with PE?

Though PE might be perceived to be a man’s own personal problem, it is actually better approached as a couple. 40 percent of women mentioned that they do not discuss about PEas they fear it would hurt their partner’s feelings , however a whopping 62 percent of men reported that they would likely visit the doctor if their partner advises them to. Therefore, with a healthy push and motivation from their partners, men are more likely to be inclined to discuss the matter and seek help. If this condition persists, it may eventually lead to separation. So folks, this is serious!

This is where A.Menarini (Malaysia) came up with this really bright idea and campaign, aptly named the Be Brave Campaign to create awareness among couples that PE is a treatable condition. BE BRAVE is a source of motivation and is designed to break down taboos and ultimately drive action to seek treatment. It acts as a key communicator to engage consumers through digital and on-ground initiatives that will spark conversations on PE.
