Selena and Kyle go to a cognitive-behavioral therapist for help with premature ejaculation. Explain some of the ways this might be treated.

What will be an ideal response?


The cognitive-behavioral therapist will focus on the couple rather than on one partner. The therapist is likely to treat early ejaculation by concentrating especially on reducing fears and anxieties and increasing sensate focus and communication. They are likely to use the squeeze technique. Using this technique, the couple can continue for 15-20 minutes before the man ejaculates. The therapist might also suggest the "start-stop" technique that can be done by the man or by a sexual partner.
