Patient's question:
With a long sexual history, I kissed my girlfriend yesterday, but there was no erection response below. I recalled that I haven't had morning erections for a long time. Is this situation considered premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
The operation therapy for premature ejaculation is a treatment method based on the principles of Skinner's operant conditioning. Skinner opposed the use of punishment in the treatment process and advocated positive reinforcement methods. Operant behavior refers to actions that can produce positive effects on oneself by manipulating and changing the environment through the organism itself. If a behavior is reinforced positively, the likelihood of it occurring again is very high. The so-called intermittent reinforcement refers to the fact that reinforcement is not applied every time the desired behavior is expected to occur again, which can prevent the generalization of reinforcement.
