Play therapy with the sexual workhorse: successful treatment with twelve cases of inhibited ejaculation
Abstract:
This paper explores play as treatment for inhibited ejaculation (IE), based on success with 12 heterosexual and homosexual men. The focus is on men able to ejaculate with their own touch but not with partner touch or penile containment. A definition of IE includes: compulsive need to please partner, response anxiety, nonsexual automatic erections, and the penis's refusal to be commanded interpersonally. Treatment options with individuals and/or couples begin with reframing the symptom as compulsive giving and are not directed at forcing ejaculation. Playing, interfering with erroneous beliefs about sexual arousal, and avoiding helping the workhorse work harder are the trust of this paper.
