PREMATURE EJACULATION – TYPICAL CASE 2
When John married, his pattern of sexual behaviour persisted. Sex for him was some foreplay, which both he and his wife enjoyed, and then rapid ejaculation, which satisfied him but left his wife sexually frustrated. Her frustration increased because she thought it wrong to masturbate and the idea of cunnilingus was repellent. Her mother told her that women had to expect a period of adjustment and a child often made it better. John talked with his friends and learned that women were expected to reach orgasm as quickly as men. If they didn’t they were frigid.
The couple had a child, and John’s wife, deeply involved with the child, dissatisfied with their sexual relationship, found that she wanted sex less and, when it happened, was uninvolved. This proved to John that he had married a frigid woman. His wife, for her part, felt that she was only being used, and that such sexual love as there had been in the marriage had now gone. Neither John nor his wife was able to talk to the other about their mutual sexual problems, and their sexual frustration increased. John found excuses to stay away from home until late. When they were together the couple bickered and nagged each other constantly. The wife became increasingly depressed and visited her doctor. She was given pills to cause a mood-elevation, because her doctor had neither the time, nor had he had the training, to perceive that underlying her depression was sexual frustration.
