We have examined the effects of acupuncture and hypnotic suggestions, and compared them with placebo in the treatment of male sexual dysfunction with no detectable organic cause. The study comprised 15 men (mean age 36.7 +/- 10.43 years) who received acupuncture treatment, 16 men (mean age 38.4 +/- 10.75 years) who underwent hypnosis (mean age 35.3 +/- 11.52 years) and 29 men (mean age 36.2 +/- 11.38 years) who served as controls. They were interviewed periodically; the patients' reports were verified by interviewing their partners. Men who received placebo had a 43-47% improvement in sexual function, while the rates of improvement in the treated groups were higher, but not significantly so. The success rates of acupuncture and hypnotic suggestions were 60% and 75% respectively. Although the improvement was not statistically significant, treatment with acupuncture could be used as an adjuvant therapy in non-organic male sexual dysfunction. The only treatment superior to placebo seemed to be hypnosis. A more effective treatment may be obtained by combining these therapeutic modalities, but this needs further study.

Hi,
I got one word for you Virection. The other stuff out there is crap. All the prescription pills cost a fortune and you have time things just right. With this, I just take one everyday, and it's all good. Couldn’t believe it, but this stuff actually works.

This is a brilliant thread thank you all so much for sharing.

I have only had one client with ED ( it was just before the end of my training so I did not charge him )

He had other medical problems too but unrelated and had been throughly checked by his Gp.

Due to his disability he had developed massive confidence issues which we worked on and then I taught him to disassociate when he lost his erection.

Kindly he called me a few weeks later to say things had improved.

Thanks again.

Karena.

I'm curious to see if anyone has tried using hypnotic amnesia to assist with treating psychogenic erectile dysfunction. Could creating amnesia for the times in the past when ED occurred help break the cycle of worry about it happening again?
