Morari Medical's New Bandage for Your Perineum Supposedly Fixes Prematures Ejaculation

The International Society for Sexual Medicine defines premature ejaculation as routinely ejaculating within about a minute of having sex, and having no ability to prevent it from happening. An emerging sexual health company called Morari Medical is hoping to cure PEand maybe even make the average guy last a little longerwith a first-of-its-kind wearable device. The company debuted the early-stage prototype at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) last week, and, well, we had some questions. For starters...

How does it work?

The Morari concept is a transdermal-based patch that uses neuromodulation as a means of inhibiting the nerves of the penis, thereby delaying an ejaculation. The Band-Aid-like device has very small gel electrodes, a micro-computer, and a battery. It is placed on the perineum and disposed after each use.

In case that sounded like gibberish: Basically, you put this patch on the area between your scrotum and anus, and it shoots electrical pulses that sort of feel like internal vibrations. They don't hurt, but they "confuse" the nervous system, reducing feelings of stimulationand (ideally) making you last longer.

When the time is right, the device is activated by touching a spot on the 'Band-Aid,' or by clicking an app button on your phone," says Jeff Bennett , founder and CEO of Morari Medical. "A light sensation is felt that doesnt interfere with sex but that confuses nerves responsible for carrying the signals from the penis to the spinal cord and brain, and those from the spinal cord to the prostatic urethral muscles that cause contraction and ejaculation.

Bennett continues: Our product uses the basic principles of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) which uses electrical energy to inhibit nerve activity. We are not shocking the penis or balls, rather providing electrical stimulation, which is not painful.

But will it really work?

The early stages of the device have been promising, but theyre not ready to mass produce or sell it to the public just yet. Morari Medical is teaming up with San Diego Sexual Medicine to conduct a study testing the efficacy of the product. According to a press release, the device is anticipated to come out in 2021 following the trials.

So what do outside experts think of the product?

I think the basic principles behind TENS has shown to be successful for treating many issues, not just PE," Dr. Evan Goldstein , D.O., a proctologist who specializes in men's sexual health at Bespoke Surgical tells Men's Health. "In this case, the use of distractionshowever youre creating them, whether its thinking about something unsexy or using technology like Morarishould help diminish the effects of PE, with varying degrees of success."

Goldstein notes that the product is clearly in its infant stages, so it's tough to gauge now how effective it will eventually be. However, he does have a few concerns about wearable technology on the perineum. "The skin on the perineum is quite sensitive, not to mention potentially extremely hairy, so any adhesive can cause significant irritation," Goldstein says. "Considering the devices adhesive has to withstand sweat, lube, and excrement, I can only imagine its quite a strong adhesive." Urologist Dr. Matthew Lemeralso of Bespoke Surgicaladds, Until we see it widely used, more research needs to be done on its adoption rate and true efficacy."

Until then, Jamin Brahmbhatt, MD, urologist and sexual health expert at Orlando Health, pointed out there are plenty of clinically-proven methods for treating PE. These include numbing medicines, edging techniques, antidepressants, Viagra, and condoms to reduce sensation.
