Treatment of Retarded Ejaculation with Psychotherapy and Meditative Relaxation: A Case Report

Abstract

A 33-yr.-old male married for 5 yr. was diagnosed as having psychogenic retarded ejaculation. He had never ejaculated during intravaginal intercourse. Treatment consisted of 10 mo. of eclectic psychotherapy as well as meditative relaxation exercises during the last 2½ mo. of treatment. The last 4 mo. included his wife in conjoint marital therapy. Treatment was successful and led, to conception. A 4-mo. follow-up indicated that regular and normal practice of sexual intercourse had been maintained.
