Program Description:
Both early and delayed ejaculation and orgasm cause significant distress in both individuals and couples. In 2013, the International Society of Sexual Medicine published the first evidence-based definition of both lifelong and acquired premature (early) ejaculation. Delayed ejaculation/orgasm also causes significant distress, including fertility concerns. While there are no FDA approved treatments for delayed ejaculation, behavioral approaches and some medical interventions can provide relief. Most medical and mental health providers haven't had much education about orgasm physiology and disorders. We will review orgasm physiology and assessment and treatment for these prevalent and problematic concerns.
