Patient information
About premature ejaculation
Premature ejaculation (PE) is when you ejaculate sooner than you or your partner would like during sex, most of the time you have sex. It's one of the most common sexual problems men have, and it's nothing to be embarrassed about.
It can be caused by psychological factors such as anxiety, stress or relationship worries, by physical factors, or by a mix of both. Some men have always had PE, while for others it starts after years of no problems.
Options include self-help techniques, desensitising sprays and creams you can buy without a prescription, and prescription tablets taken a few hours before sex. Our pharmacist checks your answers to make sure an option is safe and suitable for you.

This clinic could be right for you if
- You're a man aged 18 to 64
- You ejaculate sooner than you'd like during most sexual encounters
- It's been happening for some time and is causing you or your partner distress

- PE started suddenly after a long time without problems

- You have a heart condition, or a history of fainting
- You have a mental health condition such as depression or bipolar disorder (some treatments aren't suitable)
Common questions
Are there things I can try myself?
Yes. The "stop-start" and "squeeze" techniques, pelvic floor exercises and thicker condoms help some men. Masturbating an hour or two before sex can also help. These work best when practised regularly, and they can be used alongside treatment.
How do desensitising sprays work?
They contain a local anaesthetic that slightly reduces sensitivity in the penis, so you can last longer. You apply them shortly before sex. Read the leaflet for how long to wait and how to avoid numbing your partner, for example by using a condom.
How is prescription treatment taken?
Prescription tablets for PE are taken a few hours before you expect to have sex, not every day. Our pharmacist will explain how to take your treatment if it's approved, and the leaflet has full details.
Can I drink alcohol with PE treatment?
It's best to avoid alcohol with prescription PE tablets. Together they can make you more likely to feel dizzy or faint.
Will anyone know what I've ordered?
No. Orders are sent in plain packaging, and your consultation is only seen by our pharmacy team.
