Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: No matter how I tried, I couldn't get an erection, even with my girlfriend's help. I'm a bit suspicious of myself, or was it because I was very tired those days?I didn't sleep well that night. It was supposed to be the night we had sex, and the more I needed it, the worse it got.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it may be due to insufficient rest or psychological factors. You can try the following methods:Phase 1: This is the stage of mutual non-genital stimulation, where sexual intercourse is absolutely forbidden. Both partners should suppress any desire to engage in intercourse. They can engage in non-genital love-making actions, such as kissing, hugging, and caressing. This helps expand the scope of sexual activity between couples. Men will often naturally become erect without the pressure of having to complete intercourse. The duration of this phase is best kept to 2–3 weeks.
Phase 2: Continue without sexual intercourse, but take it a step further than the first phase. After kissing, hugging, and caressing, you can explore the best stimulation points on the sexual sensitive areas, such as the head of the penis, the frenulum, and the corona of the penis, and apply appropriate stimulation to induce an erection. This phase should also last for more than 2 weeks.
Phase 3: Based on repeated training in the second phase, the penis should be able to achieve successful erections and maintain them for a certain period. 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 "squeezing method" should be used: the wife places her thumb on the opposite side of the head of the penis, applies slight pressure for 3–4 seconds, and then suddenly releases it. After several repetitions, the feeling of impending ejaculation will disappear. Then, re-stimulate the penis. Several cycles of stimulation and squeezing can prevent the climax and ejaculation from occurring. By controlling the number of stimulations and squeezes, you can regulate and prolong the erection time. This phase also requires about 2 weeks.
Phase 4: After going through the first three phases
