Slide2
Biological characteristic of sexual experience :
Changes in genitalia
Heightened awareness of pleasurable erotic sensation
Changes in subjective state (sexual excitement )Slide3
Genital responses :
Depend on specific local vascular mechanism Slide4
Sexual excitement Slide5
Neuropsychology of emotions :
Whether
conscious
feeling follow bodily changes / vice versa ?Slide6
Information processing
Cognitive processes that attend to the sexual meaning of what is happening by focusing on external events & relating them to memory ,internal processes such as imagery ,/perceptions bodily changes that have sexual meaning Slide7
Arnold`s conceptualization
:
Emotions are generated by an
unconscious,implicit
evaluation of a stimulus
Is followed by
a tendency to act
in a particular way (action tendency )
Is followed by
peripheral responses
Finally
conscious experience Slide8
Emotion system :
Gray (1994 )has proposed three fundamental emotion system :
1)
Behavioural
approach system (
BAS
)
2)Fight /flight system
(F/FLS
)
3)
Behavioural
inhibition system (
BIS
)
The
first two involve action
(approach for reward or fight /flight to avoid punishment )
The third involves inaction accompanied
dy
increased arousal & attention ,as away of coping with threat Slide9
Arousal mechanisms are relevant to all three of Gray`s emotional system
General arousal (activates individual in a non-specific way )
Specific arousal (prepares the body for specific types of action )Slide10
Orgasm:
Orgasm is often regarded as the goal of sexual activity
Conclusion ,pleasure & reduction of tension associated with it are important
reinforcers
in the learning of sexual
behaviourSlide11
Orgasmic manifestations :
1)Intense feeling of pleasure ,ecstasy
2)Some degree of altered consciousness with reduced awareness & information processing
3)Specific sensation ,typically felt in the genital regions but spreading through the body
4) Muscle contractions
5)Other non genital changes
A post-orgasmic state in which the above manifestations return to a non-aroused state Slide12
Orgasmic manifestations are similar in M&W
except seminal emission ,refractory period
Slide13
Types of female orgasm:
freud`s
doctrine
clitoral stimulation in order to experience orgasm is a sign of immaturity ,a failure of the clitoral-vaginal transfer that signal sexual maturity
Kinsey et al (1953)
pointing to the insensitivity to touch of the vaginal wall in contrast to clitoris & labia minor they underestimated importance of pressure as a vaginal stimulus Slide14
Continuse
Masters &
johnson
(1966)
either direct /indirect stimulation of clitoris is always
necessery
for orgasm & physiological changes
coclusion
that instead of two types of orgasm
( clitoral & vaginal )there was only one
Bentler
&
peerler
(1979)
siger
(1973)
found difference between two type (
vulval
& uterine)Slide15
Vulval
orgasm depend on clitoral stimulation and manifested by vaginal contractions
Uterine experience is characterized by more marked emotional reactions , by
apnoea
& without vaginal contraction
with a refractory period Slide16
The recent report of differences in post-orgasmic PRL levels in both women & men when comparing orgasms from masturbation & those from
seual
interaction with one`s partner Slide17Slide18
Sexual dysfunction :
Correlated with sexual physiological response
Essential feature of sexual dysfunctions is inhibition in one /more of the phase
A disturbance in the sexual response cycle Slide19
orgasmic disorders
Lifelong or acquired
generalized or situational
psychological
Medical
combined psychological and medical factorsSlide20
Premature Ejaculation:
common male sexual problem
Masters and Johnson (1970) diagnosed a man with PE if he could not delay ejaculation long enough
for his partner to reach orgasm 50% of the timeSlide21
Etiology of PE
Biological/Physiological :
_
range exists among men in their ejaculatory speed(nerve latency time )
91% of men with lifelong PE had a first relative with
lifelong PE ,
Waldinger
et al. (1998)
_ neurotransmitter
Serotonin
_ Physical illnesses
_ Pharmacologic side effect
opioids
, alcohol
cold medications
PsychologicalSlide22
Psychological :
emotional issues :
1) Anger
2) frustration,
3) low self-confidence, mistrust,
4) negative body image
5)psychosocial stress associated with financial difficulties, occupational problems
6)death of a significant other may be factors
Slide23
Treatment :
Medical :
SSRIs (
paroxetine
,
sertraline
,
fluoxetine
)
TCAs (
ciomipramin
)
Neurololeptics
topical anesthesia (
lidocaine
cream )
PDE5 inhibitor agents
PE ExercisesSlide24
PE Exercises :
Help man learn to tolerate increasing levels of stimulation
control of his ejaculatory reflex
_ sensate focus exercises
_ stop–start method
_ squeeze techniqueSlide25
Delayed ejaculation
persistent or recurrent delay in, or absence of, orgasm following a normal sexual excitement phase during sexual activity that the clinician, taking
into
account the person’s age, judges to be adequate in focus, intensity, and duration,” and it causes “marked distress
or interpersonal difficultySlide26
Inhibited female orgasm
persistent or recurrent delay in, or
absence of, orgasm in a female following a normal sexual excitement phase
during sexual activity that the clinician judges to be adequate in focus, intensity and duration
Slide27
Etiology
Intergenerational
individual
relationshipSlide28
Intergenerational Influences
Difficulties in the
process of socialization
during childhood
development of
misconceptions about sex
negative attitudes
toward sexual pleasure
problems with
sexual orientation
or gender identity
sexual abuse
during childhood
experiences or attitudes
during adolescence (women)Slide29
Individual Influences
sexual attitudes
McCabe (2005) demonstrated that performance anxiety was associated with high levels of
anorgasmia
stress, levels of fatigue, sexual identity, health
mood disordersSlide30
Relationship Factors
quality of the relationship
McCabe and Cobain (1998) found that relationship factors were strongly associated
with sexual dysfunction for women but not as strongly for menSlide31
Assessment
psychological
relational
social
medical history Slide32
Kelly,
Strassberg
, and Turner (2006) found that there were behaviorally assessable differences
in the
communication pattern
of couples
experiencing female
anorgasmia
when compared with functional couples ,specially
the negative interactional dynamics of
blame
and lack of
recepitivly
to interactions by their partnerSlide33
clear understanding of the nature of the sexual dysfunction
assess the
frequency
of orgasm
the
situation in which
anorgasmia
occurs whether
whether
anorgasmia
is
primary or secondary
if
anorgasmia
is
partial or complete
,
and the
length of time
the problem has been in place.
question the woman and her partner on why she is seeking treatment at this point in time & what
expectations or goals
she has for therapySlide34
Treatment:
important factors :
communication
performance anxiety
The communication training included:
exercises for active and passive listening, verbalization and reflection of feeling
productive conflict management assertive behaviorSlide35
Performance Anxiety:
woman’s past failure to achieve orgasm
who regards her orgasmic response as an
assurance
of his or her own
competence
Fear of
rejection
or feelings of
obligation
toward the partner Slide36
three interrelated treatment strategies:
communication exercises
sensate focus exercises
and guided fantasySlide37
Communication Exercises :
improve the quality of the marital relationship
develop and explore emotional responses
(address all aspects of the relationship, both sexual and nonsexual)
Both partners were instructed to share their feelings Slide38
Examples of early questions
· What do I like best about us as partners
and how does that make me feel?
· How do I feel about differences between
us in desire for sexual contact?Slide39
communication exercises continued to encourage the development of the emotional side of the woman by exploring her reaction to the program and sharing this reaction with her partner
For example, when partners were physically
exploring their responses to body massage and genital stimulation
one of the communication questions was,
How do I feel when you caress me intimately?
What body feelings occur?
Slide40
Sensate Focus Exercises:
The Masters and Johnson (1970) sensate focus program was outlined in therapy and
implemented at home by the client
The program was commenced two weeks after the commencement of therapy
exercises comprised
nongenital
and then genital
pleasuring and, finally, intercourse in a gradual
patternSlide41
Fantasy:
use of sexual fantasy is an important aspect of
therapy
purpose of sexual fantasy seems to be different for men and women
fantasies need to be aimed at enhancing the acceptance of oneself as a sexual person. Slide42
Some women may have difficulty
accepting
themselves as sexual persons and may
experience a high level of guilt in association with their sexual functioningSlide43
. Men may experience guilt in association with
sexual expression, but this guilt is accompanied
by a lack of emotional involvement in the actual
relationshipSlide44
