Techniques Include

Question 1

Systematic Desensitization:

Answer 1

A client creates a hierarchy of anxiety-provoking situations and/or images. Each situation is then gradually faced until the level of anxiety no longer
interferes with pleasure. This can be done by imagining stressful situations at first, and then gradually moving toward actually engaging in such activities.

Question 2

Bridge Maneuvers:

Answer 2

First, temporarily increasing, and then with time, gradually withdrawing direct clitoral stimulation during intercourse when the female is able to have an orgasm with intercourse alone.

Question 3

Coital Alignment Technique

Answer 3

Slow, rhythmic back-and-forth gliding movements so the penis and clitoris stimulate each other during intercourse.

Question 4

Masturbation or Self-Stimulation:

Answer 4

The most commonly used technique to treat inhibited female orgasm. Can include genital stimulation, erotic stimuli, vibrators, and lubrication. Self or partner stimulation may also be used during intercourse.

Question 5

Stop-Start Technique:

Answer 5

Used in treating premature ejaculation. The partner engages in a progressive cycle of stimulating the penis until they begin to feel early sensations of orgasm, then stops, pauses, and begins again.

Question 6

Squeeze Technique:

Answer 6

First developed by Masters and Johnson for the treatment of premature ejaculation. The partner stimulates the penis until they are aware of the early sensations of orgasm. The partner then grabs the penis between the thumb and first
finger just below the ridge. The partner holds it for about 3-4 seconds, then repeats the stimulation-squeeze cycle in a progression toward intercourse.
