Psycho-education in groups (Lobitz and Baker, 1979), rational emotive therapy, masturbation exercises and social skills training (Dekker, Dronkers and Staffeleu, 1985) have been used in the literature.

Sexual dysfunction in males is usually treated with conjoint sex therapy. Such approach is not possible with single males and it is often a limitation in the management. The present paper deals with the application of cognitive behavioral strategies in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions in single males. A 27-year old unmarried graduate male, reported with complaints of inability to get proper erection, weakness and loss of interest in work of three years duration. 15 sessions of therapy was conducted focusing on such areas as clarifications of misconceptions and myths about sexuality, reduction in anxiety and teaching adaptive sexual practices. The techniques used were education, relaxation training and fantasy training, masturbatory retraining. The client showed remarkable improvement following treatment. The issues important in management of single males are discussed.

“…Studies in the West have reported the application of such strategies as psychoeducation (Lobitz & Baker, 1979), masturbation exercises and social-skills training (Dekker, Dronkers, & Staffeleu, 1985), and dating-skills training (Reynolds, Cohen, Schohet, Price, & Anderson, 1981) with varying success. To our knowledge, only one study reported application of a comprehensive approach using psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, reduction of performance anxiety, conflict resolution, relationship enhancement, and relapse-prevention training (Rosen et al, 1994).…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Various personal, familial, and socio-cultural factors play a crucial role in the development of sexuality and sexual practices. They often influence the occurrence and maintenance of sexual dysfunctions. Therapies with individuals with sexual dysfunctions often emphasize the involvement of both the partners. Issues related to single males, especially in the Indian context, have not been explored. The present study is a retrospective analysis of clinical case records of single males who reported sexual dysfunctions between the years 1990 to 2000. Thirty-eight clinical case records were analyzed for the demographic details, nature of the problems, and interventions provided with the aim of exploring the reported symptomatology, precipitating and maintaining factors, prevalent beliefs about the causation of sexual dysfunction, and the outcome of interventions. The role of cultural and psychosocial issues is discussed and the need for research in this area is emphasized.
