Treating Erectile Problems

During a model therapeutic interview, a couple discusses anxiety related to sexual performance. The interview clearly indicates communication failures in the relationship. (The man expresses his concern by asking his wife and the therapist, “How do I measure up"?) Along with its focus on sexual fantasy and relaxation training, the therapy includes learning how to give and receive sexual pleasure without an erection. A demonstration of the “teasing technique,” i.e. Stopping sex play when erection is achieved, waiting for the penis to return to a flaccid state, and then resuming the stimulation and receiving sexual pleasure. Includes insertion of the flaccid penis into the woman's vagina and intercourse with an erect penis.
