SWREN414R Chapter Notes - Chapter 7.27: Premature Ejaculation
Document Summary
Jason and giselle presented in therapy with sexual issues related to jason"s premature ejaculation, arousal difficulties, and waning sexual desire and giselle"s inhibited desire and arousal. Jason"s anxiety about giselle"s sexual initiations and intercourse, at first glance, centered around his frustration and disappointment in his inability to perform sexually and please. Jason"s withdrawals during sex had reaffirmed a deeply held negative self-view related to her worth and attractiveness: giselle"s desire had eventually begun to wane as sex became associated with sadness at disconnection and feelings of aloneness. In this brief excerpt, the eft therapist explores sexual experience and interactions to support each partner"s ability to risk more open expressiveness and to foster interactions that create greater emotional safety in the sexual realm. Each sexual move has become so filled with fear. If you don"t get it right, if you don"t give her the pleasure she wants, then you fear you"ll lose her.
