West London Hypnotherapy Clinic

It is important to consult with a doctor or other medical advisor when experiencing sexual problems of a physical nature. Each symptom carries a numerical indicator between ’1′ and ’5′ (where ’1′ is lowest) of the likelihood of the cause being a physical problem.

When the problem is psychological in nature, then it is almost certain that as a psychosexual specialist we will be able to help you completely alleviate the problem. (The term ‘Psychosexual’ here simply means ‘sexual matters related to the mind’.)

• Premature Ejaculation: Ejaculation occurs too quickly after penetration, sometimes with greatly diminished physical sensation (1)
• Withheld Ejaculation: Ejaculation is possible but there is a tendency to hold on – even though there may be no real knowledge as to why this situation exists (1)
• Retarded Ejaculation: No matter how long intercourse lasts for, there is an inability to ‘let go’; sometimes this affects masturbation as well, sometimes ‘solo sex’ causes no problem (2)
• Penetration Anxiety: Attempts at penetration create anxiety, often resulting in the loss of an erection. (2)
• Ejaculatory Pain: Anything between a dull ache and a sharp stabbing pain, this can occur during or just after ejaculation. (4)
