Male
Orgasmic Disorder
Category
Sexual
Disorders and Dysfunctions
Etiology
Although
a medical cause needs to be ruled out first, male orgasm disorder is often
thought of as beginning in adolescence or early adulthood because sexual
intimacy becomes related with a negative life event or aspect.
Symptoms
Delay
or absence of orgasm following normal excitement and sexual activity. Due to the
widely varied sexual response in men, it must be judged by a clinician
to be significant, taking into account the persons age and situation.
The condition is persistent or occurs frequently and causes significant
distress. Is not a direct effect of substance use.
Treatment
Typically
once a medical cause is ruled out, working through the underlying issues
is very helpful. Some therapists also use behavioral techniques such
as sensate focus which is a more direct approach if underlying issues are
not significant.
Prognosis
Prognosis
is very good.
