Acceptance and Mindfulness-Based Approaches to Erectile Disorder

  • Society for the Psychology of Men and masculinities U.S.A. (map)

Presented by: Ethan Hoffmann, PhD, Stanford University School of Medicine.

The presentation will address best practices for assessing male sexual health and contemporary cognitive-behavioral approaches to addressing erectile concerns. Participants will be exposed to contemporary theories in sexual health, including the PLISSIT model and dual control model, as well as a critical review of classic models of the sexual response cycle. The presentation will also include discussion of how these concerns nest within masculine gender socialization and sexual myths. The presentation will review a graduated sequence of interventions, including normalization and basic psychoeducation, stimulus control, and more active interventions including mindful masturbation and sensate focus.

At the end of the talk, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the four tiers of the PLSST model of sexual health intervention

  2. Separate three myths about male sexuality from current evidence

  3. Describe two specific interventions to address psychogenic male erectile concerns
