Describe Masters and Johnson's approach to sex therapy.
What will be an ideal response?
Masters and Johnson introduced sensate focus and nondemand pleasuring. In this exercise, couples are instructed to refrain from intercourse or genital caressing to explore and enjoy each other's body. Next, the couple moves to genital pleasuring but with a ban on orgasm and intercourse and clear instructions to the man that achieving an erection is not the goal. Finally, arousal should be reestablished and the couple should be ready to attempt intercourse. This stage is also broken down into parts. A couple might be instructed to attempt the beginnings of penetration; that is, the depth of penetration and the time it lasts are only gradually built up, and both genital and nongenital pleasuring continue. Eventually, full intercourse and thrusting are accomplished.
