The truth is, most of my clients are women, and I've

mostly been writing about women's issues. But this time I am shifting the focus to men’s health to open up a conversation around creating intimacy.

This is a topic that most couples don’t like to talk about, but over time, sexual issues such as communication breakdown over premature ejaculation (PE) can slowly and gradually weaken the foundation of a relationship. It can be difficult for to discuss PE, but not talking to your partner about what happened will make this intimate time together something you don’t look forward to.

Many men think admitting that they have a problem controlling their arousal means that they are 'less of a man', adding to the shame, guilt, and stress associated with performance. Not so.

Misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and anger can quickly escalate, all of which can make PE even more frustrating. But sex was never meant to be like this. The physical impact is clear: sex promotes “pair bonding” and is crucial for a healthy relationship. During sex, and particularly during orgasm, chemicals such as oxytocin and dopamine are released. These strengthen the bond between partners. This “pair bonding” increases the feeling of security and trust, as well as an increase in emotional intimacy.

or troublesome decline of 3-minutes or less, an inability to delay ejaculation during all or almost all penetrations, and lastly, unpleasant or negative personal sexual experiences (i.e. anxiety, emotional distress, concern, and frustration) leading to an avoidance of sexual intimacy.

When you are not able to perform the way you want to, both you and your partner not only miss out on healthy bonding chemicals, but are left feeling embarrassed, stressed, inadequate and disappointed. This can actually feed to the problem and make PE even worse. Eventually, sexual intimacy becomes something to avoid for fear of rejection or embarrassment. It's important to take action to better understand your body and the cause of premature ejaculation.

The truth is for anyone suffering with on-going premature ejaculation, pills, creams and sprays aren’t going to cut it. Whether it's a subconscious fear, not feeling safe or good enough, stress and anxiety, or limiting beliefs about sex due to age, or genetics, the fact is these thoughts and outdated beliefs are not serving you.

So, where to begin to heal? It is time to remove limiting beliefs and old habits once and for all. You have the power to regain control over your body. The good news is you will prevail and you will take back your power. The better news is with hypnotherapy you can rapidly reprogram your powerful subconscious mind in all aspects of your life. The first step is turning off the internal anxiety- based alarms that start ringing when you start to think about engaging in sex. This transformation alone will drastically improve your success to the best sex ever for both you and your partner.

Stepping into your power is why Hypnosis will work when nothing else has. You are worthy and deserving of a wonderful sex life, your time is now, the very fact that you have read this far means you are hungry to start and get going on a program that really, really works. I am excited to help you experience just that. When your sex life gets better, everything gets better! Your mood, your relationship with your partner, better health, confidence, self esteem, communication, productivity, sleep—sex even boosts your immune system.

Imagine for just a moment: you have the control and desire to have sex at any time and be able to control the timing and the pleasure… imagine and visualize the feeling of sharing an intense intimate connection and a newly discovered desire with your partner. It only gets better.

It’s time that you experience the sexual intimacy you desire with your partner. With the power of Hypnotherapy, you will discover and enjoy a new world of pleasure— and the best part is, it's natural and drug-free. Create a new chapter in your relationship with true intimacy and a deeper connection.
