Episode 54: How To Have Better Sex And Deal With Sexual Difficulties

Sexual difficulties are common, but people tend to have a really hard time talking about them. In fact, people often find it easier to avoid the subject entirely, which can lead sex to disappear in a relationship. So how can people start healthy and productive conversations about sexual difficulties? What can they do to address them? And whether sexual difficulties are present or not, how can you have better sex? For insight into these topics and more, I spoke with Jeff Abraham, CEO of the company Absorption Pharmaceuticals. Jeff built a successful tech company that allowed him to retire early—but he later emerged from retirement to run a sexual health company founded by urologist Dr. Ronald Gilbert, who developed a product called Promescent designed to help men last longer in bed. Some of the topics we explore in this episode include: We’ve all heard that “sex sells,” but does it really? What are some of the challenges of running a sexual health and wellness company? How long does it usually take men and women to orgasm? What is the size of the orgasm gap? What counts as “premature ejaculation” anyway? Why is it that premature ejaculation sometimes gets misdiagnosed as erectile dysfunction? How do you bring up the topic of sexual difficulties with a partner, whether you’re the one experiencing a difficulty or your partner is? Is there anything that men can do to last longer in bed? What do both men and women need to know about having better sex? To learn more about Jeff and his company, visit promescent.com This podcast was made on Zencastr.
