Cognitive Behavioral Sex Therapy: An Emerging Treatment Option for Nonorganic Erectile Dysfunction in Young Men: A Feasibility Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

An increasing number of young men have been found to develop nonorganic erectile dysfunction (NOED) in recent years. The NOED has been shown to respond better to cognitive behavior sex therapy (CBST) in a few past studies.

Aim

The present research aims to establish the efficacy of CBST as a promising treatment option in young men suffering from NOED by administering a feasibility pilot trial.

Methods

28 young men (M = 31 years) out of a total of 39 men (7 excluded, 4 quit treatment) diagnosed with NOED from sexual health clinics in Pakistan were recruited to receive CBST treatment (n = 13) on average twice a week for a period of 50 minutes per session for a period of 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks for the mild, mild to moderate, moderate, and severe forms of NOED,
