He never completed a penetration because he did not attain an erection. Good erections with masturbation are experienced. Many years before, his first attempt failed in the context of an occasional relationship. Then he tried a few times without success, even when using PDE5i. He never visited a urologist for his problem, but he tried to solve the problem with medication for the erectile dysfunction. He developed avoidance of any sexual encounter. After a careful sexual history, the diagnosis is psychogenic ED, lifelong, situational, and personal distress.
Dr Stanley Althof discusses the case presented by Evie Kirana, a very common one in clinical practice. Dr Althof guides the listener on:
-
- How to take a good sexual history on erectile dysfunction
- How to work on avoidance and masculine demanding
- How to deal with performance anxiety in a single man
