  • Climax Control for Men with Jeff Bennett of Morari Medical
    Oct 25 2024

    Millions of men suffer from premature (early) ejaculation, the most common sexual disorder in men younger than 40 years, with 30-70% of males in the United States affected to some degree at one time or another. This can be a major relationship issue for both partners and is often viewed as a challenging matter to discuss. Coupled with this, existing treatments like sprays, creams, and antidepressants have side effects or are found to be not very effective.

    Morari Medical’s CEO and Founder, Jeff Bennett, joins this episode to share how they are developing a wearable patch that uses neurostimulation to delay ejaculation. The patch is placed on the perineum, the area between the scrotum and the anus, and users can control the settings through an app to find what works best for them.

    As Morari gears up for FDA approval and aims to be on the market in early 2025, Jeff discusses how he has transitioned from working at Boston Scientific to leading not just a startup, but a movement to make premature ejaculation no longer a taboo topic. From being spotlighted on Jimmy Kimmel, to winning numerous accolades, Jeff’s story will be sure to leave you informed and inspired.
