Patient's question:
Recently, my husband and I have had conflicts for some reason. In the past month, we've argued during intimacy, and his erection has gone soft. After many instances, his erection isn't as hard as it used to be. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it should be caused by psychological factors. Below is an introduction to psychogenic therapy for impotence:This therapy is best conducted between a couple.
Phase 1: This is the stage of mutual caressing in non-sexually sensitive areas. At this time, sexual intercourse is absolutely forbidden, and any desire to proceed with intercourse must be suppressed. Both partners can engage in caressing movements in non-genital areas, such as kissing, hugging, and stroking. This expands the scope of sexual behavior between the couple. Men do not have the pressure to complete intercourse, and the penis often becomes naturally erect. The duration of this phase is best kept to 2–3 weeks.
Phase 2: Continuing with the premise of no sexual intercourse, this phase goes a step further. After kissing, hugging, and stroking, the best stimulation points in the sexually sensitive areas can be sought, such as the head of the penis, the frenulum, and the coronal sulcus, for appropriate stimulation to induce penile erection. This phase is also best kept to more than 2 weeks.
Phase 3: Based on repeated training in the second phase, the penis should have successfully achieved erection and be able to maintain it for a certain duration. With continuous mutual caressing, there may be a strong urge to insert the penis into the vagina and a frequent sense of impending pleasure and climax. At this point, the squeeze technique should be used: the wife places her thumb on the opposite side of the head of the penis, applies slight pressure and squeezes for 3–4 seconds, then suddenly releases. After several repetitions, the sensation of ejaculation will disappear. Next, re-stimulate the penis. Repeated stimulation and squeezing can prevent the occurrence of climax and ejaculation. Control the number of stimulations and squeezes to prevent climax and ejaculation from occurring.
