How to perform massage therapy

For men with functional erectile dysfunction, massage therapy can be administered at home by their wives as an adjunct treatment. The method is as follows:

1. Supine position: First, use your thumb to massage the navel and Guanyuan acupoint for 1 minute each. Then, massage the depression above the base of the penis and both sides of the base of the penis, gradually increasing the pressure and massaging towards the coccyx for about 3 minutes. Then, massage the lower abdomen with your palm for 2 minutes.

2. Supine position: Hold the penis with the index and middle fingers of both hands and gently rub and move it from the base to the glans. Then pinch the glans and pull it upwards a few times. Do not use too much force. Then rub and pull again. Repeat 5 times.

3. Supine position: Hold the scrotum between both palms, press gently with palms facing each other, starting with a light pressure and gradually increasing to a slightly heavier pressure, to the point where a feeling of distension and pain is felt but is tolerable to the patient, about 50 times each time. Then use the tip of your middle finger to press the sensitive points of the scrotum and anus (perineum acupoint), performing a vibration operation for more than 1 minute.

4. Prone position: Use a horizontal rubbing method on the Shenshu acupoint segment of the lower back until it feels warm. Then use a grasping technique on the inner and back thighs for 2 minutes, followed by massaging the inner thighs with the palms for a few moments, then patting the back of the thighs from top to bottom twice. Finally, grasp the Jianjing acupoint for 1 minute.

Erectile dysfunction patients can also massage the soles of their feet themselves. They should do this once when they get up and once before they go to bed each day. The patient should use their left palm to massage the sole of their right foot 100 times, and then use their right palm to massage the sole of their left foot 100 times. The movements should be slow, continuous, and with appropriate pressure.

Note: Erectile dysfunction is a complex condition. Massage must be consistently performed over a long period and combined with other therapies to achieve satisfactory results.

Sensate focus therapy for treating erectile dysfunction

1. Non-genital Sensate Focus Training: The skin is the largest organ of the human body and the central organ of the human sexual system. Physical sensations triggered by touch are the most important physical factor in sex. Both partners explore each other's favorite touch points, understanding how to convey tenderness, affection, and pleasure through caresses. This helps the patient focus their attention on sensual sensations and gradually transition to sexual arousal. This is the best way to improve bodily sensitivity and evoke natural sexual responses. Caressing is essentially a courtship behavior; it synchronizes the sexual physiological changes of both sexes, achieving consistent sexual arousal and eliminating the patient's anxiety.

2. Genital Sensitive Focus Training: The male partner can expand the area of ​​touch to include highly sensitive areas such as the female's breasts and genitals. The female partner should focus on stroking the male's thighs, lower abdomen, penis, and scrotum. Using a stimulation-stop-re-stimulation technique can effectively eliminate sexual fear, helping the man understand that erectile dysfunction is not terrible and that it can be restored with stimulation. Training can be conducted in the morning when the male's response is strongest.

3. Vaginal Retention: This is a specific training method for erectile dysfunction, aiming to further reduce anxiety and transition to intercourse. It is often performed in the woman-superior position. After the woman stimulates the penis to a certain degree of erection, she uses her hands to support the penis and stimulate her labia and clitoris before guiding it into the vagina. After insertion, both partners remain still, allowing the man to experience sexual sensations. When the penis softens, the woman can contract her vagina or slightly move up and down to rub the penis to maintain an erection. Repeated training can gradually prolong the time the woman can retain the penis. When the penis softens, it can be allowed to withdraw naturally, and the woman can then stimulate it again to achieve a firm erection before reinserting it. This process can enhance the man's confidence and alleviate anxiety about temporary loss of erection.

4. Vaginal Reception and Movement: In the final stage of sex therapy, the woman is still in the superior position and moves first. After the woman reaches a certain level of arousal, the man then moves, starting slowly and gradually increasing the speed and range of motion until intercourse is completed.

Training should be gradual and progressive; do not be impatient. If you cannot adapt to or resist a certain stage of training, you should return to the previous stage until you can tolerate it well. Treatment requires perseverance and persistence; otherwise, all previous efforts will be in vain.
