Welcome to Episode 440 of the Sexology Podcast! Today, I'm excited to be joined by Jeff Abraham, CEO of Absorption Pharmaceuticals, whose lead product is Promescent. Jeff speaks to me about the deeply misunderstood topic of premature ejaculation (PE) and the emotional, relational, and physiological dimensions behind it.

In this enlightening conversation, Jeff and I unpack the complex web of stigma, shame, and misinformation that surrounds early ejaculation. We discuss the difference between perceived and clinically defined PE, the real physiological roots beyond just anxiety or lack of willpower, and the often-overlooked arousal gap between partners.

Once retired, Jeff found his encore career in the sexual wellness space, bringing sharp business instincts, integrity, and a bold sense of mission to Promescent.

Originally from a struggling town in Pennsylvania, Jeff built a successful recruiting career in Silicon Valley, placing top engineers at tech giants like AMD, Motorola, and Lam Research. During his career, he was instructed by a major car manufacturer to discriminate against women and people of color in the hiring process, an order he refused to follow. Instead, Jeff took a stand and filed an anti-discrimination lawsuit against the company. Against the odds, he won, driven by a core belief in doing the right thing.

In this episode, you will hear:

· Understanding The Root Causes Of Premature Ejaculation

· Why Most PE Cases Are Physiological, Not Psychological
