Why Her Pleasure is the Secret to Your Best Performance

This March, as we celebrate International Women’s Month, the conversation around the modern Filipino man, being a “good partner” has shifted from focusing on physical stamina to focusing on achieving pleasure together with her partner.

Scientific data consistently points toward a “Pleasure Gap”—a statistical disparity where women report lower levels of satisfaction and higher levels of physical discomfort during intercourse compared to men. Bridging this gap is both a romantic gesture as well as a sign of being a better partner.

1. “Slow Start” is the Key

Men must master the “slow start.” This involves prioritizing extended foreplay to start his lady’s arousal. By focusing on non-genital stimulation first—such as neck or back touch—her body transitions from a state of stress to a state of arousal.

2. Estrogen and Lubrication

Vaginal health is heavily dependent on Estrogen. This hormone regulates natural moisture production.

Levels of estrogen fluctuate throughout the month. If she is in the days following her period or is using certain types of hormonal family planning, her natural lubrication may decrease regardless of how “in the mood” she feels. This is why external lubrication is important and is a medically recommended tool to prevent painful intercourse.

  • Using a high-quality, water-based lubricant like EZ Lubricating Jelly provides the glide necessary to mimic natural moisture. Because it is water-soluble, it is safe for the skin and compatible with condoms.

This Women’s Month, make it your goal to close the pleasure gap by prioritizing her comfort as much as your own because a partner who enjoys more comfort enjoys more pleasure.
