A New Perineum Patch Could Make You Last Longer and Finish … MOR?

Have you ever ejaculated before you intended to? While it is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions men deal with, I doubt many of you would answer “yes” if I asked you face-to-face.

Why would you? It’s hard to admit that you were getting down and dirty with your partner and couldn’t make it more than two minutes before you came. It can be embarrassing, and the options to help you are limited. There are no FDA-approved drugs targeted toward premature ejaculation, and SSRIs, which are often prescribed to people struggling with premature ejaculation, have a laundry list of potential side effects. 

Enter the MOR patch, an FDA-cleared adhesive patch from Minnesota sexual health company Morari meant to help you last longer through electronic pulses. The basic idea is this: place the MOR patch between your balls and butthole — the gooch, as some call it, or the perineum, as nerds call it — and control the pulses through Bluetooth with the MOR app. If you’re worried about the electrical impulses, it is important to note that MOR patches don’t electrocute your taint. They are transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation units, or TENS units, that use electrical pulses to stimulate your nerves. 

Everyone is different, and so are their MOR settings (which can be modified and saved in the app), so don’t just throw it on and expect it to work perfectly for you immediately. Morari founder Jeff Bennett says it is best to test out the patch on your forearm to get a feel for how it works, then to try it in a masturbation setting before using it with a partner.

But you can do more with MOR than just prolong your sexual experience. According to Kevin from San Jose, a 26-year-old MOR user, one of MOR’s greatest upsides is its ability to intensify your orgasm.

“This is kind of like a dual-use product if you find the right settings: one for delaying and one for intensifying orgasms,” Kevin says.

Kevin, who is bisexual, says he’s tried MOR with both men and women and has used it as a top and as a bottom. Generally, he uses his saved delay setting when he is the top and his intensify setting when he is the bottom. After all, you are placing this taint-tingler directly under your prostate.

“Who doesn’t want to have a better orgasm?” asks Dr. Amy Pearlman, a board-certified urologist specializing in male sexual and hormonal health and co-founder of the Prime Institute in Florida. 

Pearlman says people struggling with sexual dysfunctions usually want to approach their issues through either a medical or novel approach — meaning some people want to view their dysfunction as a purely medical issue, and others want to view it more as a novelty, an opportunity to experiment. For those looking for a medical diagnosis, Pearlman would say MOR is a noninvasive approach to delaying your orgasm. For those interested in a novel approach, MOR offers users a fun new device they can try with a partner and maybe even get a more satisfying orgasm out of.

It might take you out of the moment to reach down and adjust your settings while you and your partner do the dirty, but if your partner is operating it, that could offer a sexier way to keep yourself going or heighten your climax. Plus, it could lighten the conversation surrounding your battle with busting early.

However, the MOR patch, like delay sprays and sensitivity-reducing condoms, isn’t a long-term fix to premature ejaculation, Pearlman says. While the patch certainly can help someone while they are having sex, it doesn’t solve the problem long-term. 

However, Pearlman says that people struggling with premature ejaculation should use whatever helps them during sex, but they should also seek out long-term solutions like masturbation training or sex therapy. But everyone is different, and you should go with whatever works for you. 

Kevin had tried the delay sprays and special condoms, but never liked how they reduced the sensitivity during sex. However, Kevin says if you have sensitive skin, aren’t a fan of electrical impulses or just don’t want to cough up $300, MOR might not be right for you.

After all, MOR does use an adhesive to cling onto your undercarriage, so if you don’t groom or are a bit sensitive down there, you might have some issues.

But if you’ve struggled lasting as long as you’d like and want to try some new tech — and maybe cum harder while you’re at it — MOR might be for you.
