What are the types of male sexual problems? 

Male sexual problems refer to difficulties or challenges that men may experience in their sexual functioning. There are various types of male sexual problems, including::

1. Erectile dysfunction (inability to achieve or maintain an erection),

2. Premature ejaculation (reaching orgasm too quickly), and

3. Low libido (decreased sexual desire).

​

What causes it? 

These issues can be caused by a range of factors, such as physical conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease), psychological factors (e.g., stress, anxiety), relationship problems, or certain medications.
 

Can these be treated? 

The treatment for male sexual problems depends on the specific issue and its underlying cause. It can involve lifestyle changes (such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and reducing stress), medication (such as Viagra or other erectile dysfunction drugs), psychotherapy, or a combination of these approaches.

 

What's the difference between sex therapy and sex hypnotherapy?
Sex therapy and sex hypnotherapy are two different forms of therapy that can be used to address male sexual problems. Sex therapy involves working with a therapist who specializes in sexual issues. It typically involves talk therapy, where individuals can discuss their concerns, explore underlying factors, and develop strategies to improve their sexual functioning and satisfaction. On the other hand, sex hypnotherapy involves the use of hypnosis techniques to access and modify the subconscious mind in relation to sexual challenges. It aims to reframe negative beliefs, reduce anxiety, and enhance sexual performance and confidence.

 

How can hypnotherapy works?
Hypnotherapy can be beneficial for dealing with male sexual problems because it can help individuals uncover and address subconscious barriers or beliefs that may contribute to their difficulties. By accessing the subconscious mind through hypnosis, hypnotherapy can help individuals develop a positive mindset, improve self-esteem, overcome performance anxiety, and enhance their overall sexual experience. It can also provide relaxation techniques and coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety related to sexual functioning.

​

When experiencing a sexual problem, being intimate can become an anxiety-provoking event. Through hypnosis, your thinking can be re-wired to help you feel empowered, calm and in control. This can help you release any mental blocks you may have around getting an erection.

Hypnosis for erectile dysfunction can also help to improve your confidence. Low confidence can make a real impact on how anxious and worried you feel about sex. Experiencing a problem during sex can knock your confidence further, leading to a vicious cycle. Using suggestion techniques, hypnotherapy can help stop negative thinking, and help you feel more confident in yourself.
 

Hypnotherapy can also help you with any recommended lifestyle changes, like quitting smoking, reducing your drinking or managing your weight. Our habits tend to operate subconsciously, so when we need to change them, we need to work in the subconscious. 

​

In addition, in our Centre, we integrate hypnotherapy with other psychotherapeutic approaches such as  mindfulness, solution focused therapy, somatic therapy, CBT depending on the suitability and needs of our clients and patients. In combination with the relevant approaches we aim to help you cope better in stressful situations and transform the way you think about sex in a more meaningful and fulfilling way.
