An article has been published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy by the respected psychology professor, Dr David Rowland, who contends that the success of sexual function drugs such as Viagra has diverted attention away from research into the psychological root causes of sexual dysfunction. There has been an emphasis on the physical resolution of the basic sexual function of achieving an erection but this only goes some way in mending a damaged relationship. He uses the example of premature ejaculation, where there has been very little research recently into the potential causes of this type of dysfunction and how effective a combination of traditional erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra with psychotherapy could yield fruitful results.
Although the professor is right in a number of respects, the problem for a number of couples is not that there is some deep rooted problem in the relationship; it is simply that one of the partners is not able to perform for physical, rather than psychological reasons. Premature ejaculation is another matter and whilst there is some anecdotal evidence to suggest that ED treatments can provide assistance in this area, we would tend to agree with the professor that some psychotherapy is likely to be of benefit here.
