A relaxing behavioral method of treating sexual disorders, such as erectile dysfunction or lack of orgasm that have psychological causes. The couple is instructed to refrain from intercourse and to focus instead on hugging, kissing, total body massage, and other forms of non-genital stimulation. By reducing the pressure to have intercourse, the couple can learn how to better communicate their sensual needs and build a foundation for improved lovemaking. It is also a term for extended foreplay.
A technique provided to couples facing sexual challenges rooted in psychological aspects rather than physical ones. The goal of this method is to enhance individuals’ recognition of their own and their partner’s enjoyable bodily sensations, while reducing anxiety related to performance. It is notably successful in addressing issues like decreased sexual desire, difficulty reaching orgasm, and aiding men in overcoming impotence or premature ejaculation.
