Sexual Problems

At Telford Hypnotherapy you can be sure that your sexual difficulties will be treated with the utmost of deference,  respect and confidentiality.  Whether it is an inability to gain or maintain an erection, premature ejaculation, lack of libido,  vaginismus or any other matters pertaining to sexuality.   I provide a caring and pro-active service that encourages frank and honest discussion together with practical advice to enable transition into a rewarding and satisfying sex life.

It is important to rule out any organic cause for sexual dysfunction before contacting a hypnotherapist.

Erectile dysfunction (an inability to get or maintain an erection) is thought to affect fifty two percent of men between the ages of 40 and 70, ranging from occasional bouts of inability to complete impotence.  Often problems with erection coexist with depression and or anxiety causing additional difficulties with diagnosis and treatment.  Antidepressants can also carry the  effect of dampening sexual drive, as well as other undesirable effects such as weight gain and sleep disturbance.  Impotence whether intermittent or complete has a direct impact on quality of life, having a significant negative effect on self esteem and self confidence.  Studies have confirmed psycho analysis can have an extremely beneficial effect upon the problem.  Psycho-analysis (hypno-analysis) shows how emotional factors, that are not always conscious,  interfere with sexual function and the enjoyment of sexual relationships'.

Premature ejaculation is one of the most commonly occurring sexual problems affecting men.  Most men at some time in their lives have experienced this problem. At one time it was thought that premature ejaculation was caused  by drugs or certain infections, but  it has more recently found to be more commonly attributed to anxiety.  Sexual behaviour is also a contributing factor.  The longer the period between sexual encounters, or ejaculation the quicker young men typically reach orgasm.  Often is happens to young men in their first encounters with sex, however some men can develop a lasting anxiety about the issue.  At Telford Hypnotherapy you will be taught practical methods of relaxation and techniques for gaining and maintaining and erection.

Vaginismus is an involuntary contraction of the vaginal muscles resulting in painful sex. Often prohibiting penetration completely as the vagina is unable to relax during intercourse.  The reasons for the reaction are many and varied and can cause considerable distress and affect interpersonal relationships, which in turn may result in a loss of interest in sexual intercourse.  The diagram below shows ways in which sexual arousal can be inhibited.figure 1

Sexuality is a complex subject , the process of arousal is coordinated by the neurologic, vascular and endocrine systems. Sexuality incorporates family, societal and religious beliefs, and can be altered with aging, health,  status and personal experience. In addition, each partner brings their unique attitudes, needs and responses into the coupling. A breakdown in any of these areas may lead to sexual dysfunction.
