Ans: B
Sensate focus is a method for partners to learn what each finds arousing and to learn to communicate those preferences. It begins with nongenital contact and gradually includes genital touching and sexual intercourse. The squeeze technique is used to help the person learn new ejaculatory control responses. Counseling or psychotherapy focuses on helping the individual become aware of and resolve personal, sexual, and relationship issues. Education focuses on increasing the person's knowledge of the arousal-orgasm mechanism.
