What kind of treatments is available for psychological erectile dysfunction?

The treatments available for psychological erectile dysfunction, getting hard in the first place, are number one, cognitive based therapy, and that's all about addressing the underlying performance anxiety. So typically, performance anxiety is too much pressure. Under pressure, no one performs very well. Imagine if someone's behind you with a clipboard monitoring every movement, that's not gonna be conducive to having good sex. So what we want to do is to relax, and we say to a person, Listen, if you're worried about not getting an erection, stop focusing on that. Rehearse success, rehearse everything going well. The second thing is there might be a need to do a little bit of relationship based counselling. Imagine, for instance, that somebody's partner takes this personally and says, Oh, you don't fancy me, you know, because it triggers their own insecurities in some way, so sometimes we need to work with that partner and say, Look, this is really not about you. This is actually the pressure that the man is experiencing here. So we help the other person not take it personally. Because if they do, then that creates performance anxiety like, Oh, next time we better have sex, or I'll think you won't fancy me. That's not gonna be helpful, it's gonna add pressure. So relationship counselling may be needed if the other partner takes it personally. So in summary, if it's performance based anxiety, just normalise it, say, It's okay, everyone gets a bit, you know, pressurised. Calm down again, switch focus on doing other things, trust your body to respond. The second thing is if the partner's affected, then, you know, work with them with a therapist who can help you and put things in a proper context and perspective. But also, above all of that, just always keep rehearsing success, coping, things doing well, because you're saying to your body, Hey, whatever happens, I can deal with it. I trust myself to cope, and that's inspiring.
