The program recommends committing one to three hours per week, with users and experts describing it as structured, helpful, and scientifically grounded.

A study presented at the European Association of Urology congress shows that the Melonga smartphone app for premature ejaculation produced clinically meaningful improvements in ejaculation control and sexual confidence in a 12-week CLIMACS trial with 80 men.

Participants using Melonga reported reduced negative impact on relationships and greater enjoyment of sex due to longer duration, highlighting the role of psychological and behavioral components in managing premature ejaculation.

In the trial, average ejaculation time more than doubled for app users—from 61 seconds to about 125 seconds after three months—while the control group showed little improvement; 22% of app users no longer experienced premature ejaculation by the end.

Researchers note that traditional pharmacy therapies often address symptoms rather than causes, and the Melonga app aims to normalize treatment and provide an evidence-based, easily accessible resource.

Melonga is available in several European markets with pricing: the basic plan costs about €2.01 per day for 12 modules, videos, and exercises, while the premium option is about €4.52 per day and includes incognito sessions with a urologist and psychotherapist.

Beyond arousal improvements, users showed better relationship satisfaction and overall sexual well-being, suggesting potential for at-home digital therapy, though larger studies are needed for confirmation.

The app’s curriculum combines arousal-awareness training, pelvic floor exercises, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, teaching users to recognize the point of no return and employ start-stop methods, breathing, and relaxation, while encouraging partner communication.

Emphasis is on psychological and behavioral strategies rather than pharmacological treatment, incorporating education, mindfulness, CBT, physical training, and self-management techniques.

Developed by Prognoix, a Netherlands-based health startup, the study notes anxiety and Kegel exercises can aid management and positions this as one of the first controlled tests of a digital intervention for premature ejaculation.

The study underscores growing interest in digital health tools for sensitive health issues and reflects collaborative development of behavioral techniques by urologists, sexologists, and psychologists from Germany, Finland, Belgium, and the United States.

The research was presented at the European Association of Urology congress in London, with experts noting pills can have side effects and digital approaches offer discreet, private access to treatment.
