Menarini launches ‘Commit to Control PE’ advocacy for Filipino couples

Menarini, the world’s largest Italian biopharmaceutical company in the world, launched the “Commit to Control PE” advocacy for couples recently at the Marquee Hall of Edsa Shangri-La Manila. With the aim to educate Filipino couples on the issue of premature ejaculation (PE), Menarini invited celebrity couples and medical practitioners to discuss the issue and provide significant insights and suggestions on how to deal and overcome the disorder.

According to Dr. Cai de Quiroz, medical director of Menarini, one in three men suffer from PE and that 20% of relationships and marriages break down because of it. Perceived causes of PE among Filipino men include stress (47%), unhealthy lifestyle (40%), fatigue (38%), and anxiety (38%).

Because the issue has always been kept under the sheets, so to speak, Menarini believes that there is a need to discuss the topic of PE especially that 83% of Filipino men and 82% of Filipino women agree that mutual sexual satisfaction plays a very important role in a successful relationship.

Top celebrity couples Anthony and Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan, Paolo and Suzi Entrata-Abrera, and Lander and Regine Tolentino-Vera Perez shared valuable insights and experiences on how to ensure that relationships are satisfying for both partners. Popular psychologist on sex therapy Dr. Margie Holmes and Dr. Dennis Serrano of the UP-PGH also provided a scientific perspective on the issue.

“Men with PE often report emotional and relationship distress and some avoid pursuing sexual relationships altogether because of PE-related embarrassment. But the issue is not isolated to men as female partners also experience emotional and psychological distress which often leads to unwanted stress in the relationship,” says RJ Ledesma, who hosted the launch.

The good news is that couples do not need to suffer from the effects of the disorder to their relationship. “An effective solution is coming soon. You may consult your doctor or visit the website we built to help sufferers find the doctor for him so he gets the proper treatment,” says Dr. de Quiroz.
