Hi! My name’s Ethan Green, the blogger behind Rising Master. I created this site to help people deal with frustrating sex problems and have more satisfying love lives.

Let me explain a bit about myself, and how you might find this site helpful.

My background

The formal part

I obtained a BSc Psychology degree at University College London in 1999. I then worked for a mental health organization in London for 10 years before turning my hand to full-time writing.

Although I have a psychology degree, this blog reflects my personal experience rather than professional medical advice. For specific guidance around the topics I discuss, I always recommend consulting a healthcare provider.

The fun part

What qualifies me to write about sex? The fact that I’ve ‘learned on the job’ for more than 20 years, with many different partners from all around the world.

Let’s call it a combination of experience + a psychological understanding of the body and mind + rich cultural influences.

The painfully honest part

This isn’t a typical sex blog or male pick-up artist website. Quite the opposite, I hope.

You’ll find some general sex advice, but the main focus is on dealing with the kind of frustrating sex problems that so many people suffer in silence (or blissful ignorance).

I personally struggled with premature ejaculation for many years. It took a long time to accept that I had a problem, and even longer to find some effective solutions.

I then had issues with erectile dysfunction following surgery in hospital. It also left me with some epic scars which affected my self-confidence and libido.

Although I think I’ve done a good job of dealing with all of these issues, and now have a very satisfying love life, they can still crop up from time to time. So I remain very interested in trying new techniques and treatments.

What you’ll find on this website

There are essentially two main types of articles here:

  • Articles describing my personal experience of coping with sex problems, along with techniques I’ve tried to tackle them.
  • My reviews of products created to help men with sex problems like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.

A word about my reviews

Writing in-depth reviews is a major part of what I do. Here are some points to bear in mind when reading them:

  • I buy every product I review.
  • I test the products carefully with my partner, often many times to better understand them.
  • In some cases, I may earn a small commission if you buy a product on a website I link to. This doesn’t increase the cost for you and doesn’t influence my recommendations though. None of the companies have any editorial say in the articles.
  • I highly recommend you also read other reviews, especially for treatments that can have side effects. Read other blogs, but also check authority medical websites.

The decision to disable comments on my blog

After running this website for over 12 years, I took the decision in 2025 to disable comments on my blog posts, for several reasons.

The main one is because of the strict standards search engines like Google have for content of a medical nature. Since premature ejaculation can be considered a medical issue in some contexts, I felt like I had two options: pay a medical professional to ‘review’ the articles and add their name and profile photo, or focus entirely on my own personal experience.

I’ve seen many websites go down the path of finding someone with a vaguely connected medical qualification in the hope that it would be enough. I disagree with that approach though, and do not want to do the same. And quite frankly, this website doesn’t earn enough to pay a fully qualified and reputable doctor to put their name to it anyway.

Secondly, some of the articles attracted an endless stream of comments which were either spam, factually incorrect, misinformation, or intended to make a product I found to be ineffective or unsafe seem like it was the best thing in the world.

I don’t want to be responsible for people taking the advice found in a user comment and having problems because of it. If you do want to see what hundreds of other people think about the topics, forums like Reddit have active threads full of the good, the bad, and the ugly of random opinions and advice.

Finally, by disabling comments, I have more time to focus on keeping the content up to date and ensuring that readers will be reminded of the key advice to seek help from a qualified medical professional rather than getting lost in a long comment thread.

Why the name Rising Master?

I’d love to tell you I wanted to fuse the concepts of sexual self-improvement, mastery over your body, and the masterful role of a man in a sexual relationship.

Honestly though, the name just popped into my head after a couple of beers one night and stuck. Besides, the domain name ‘besteverprematureejaculationcures.com’ didn’t have the same ring to it.

Six years ago, someone started a YouTube channel with the name Rising Master. It seems to be about Pokemon though, so I clearly have nothing to do with it.

Support for the LGBTQ+ movement

I write from the perspective of a heterosexual man because that’s who I am and all I have experience of.

However, I’m aware that many of the ideas and issues I discuss here are experienced by a much more diverse community.

So despite the theme of man + woman that you’ll find on this blog, at the very least I’d like to express in writing my support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer movement.

I believe people should be free to express their unique identity and live their lives in a way that makes them happy, and should not be judged for it.
