Special Considerations for Men's Health
Published in Gia Merlo, Kathy Berra, Lifestyle Nursing, 2023
Psychosexual counseling has some demonstrated effectiveness alone and with medical therapies. Psychosexual counseling is considered talk therapy by a “sex therapist.” Psychosexual counseling engages the male in discussions about intimacy as a means to improve their sexual satisfaction (Melnik et al., 2008).

Second, there may be a bidirectional relationship between psychological distress and anodyspareunia among GBM (Peixoto & Nobre, 2015). In this study, anodyspareunia was associated with poorer mental health. Given that this sample consists of GBM who described RAI as a pleasurable aspect of their sexuality prior to their prostate cancer diagnosis and who largely described their role in sex identities as “bottoms” or “versatile,” poorer mental health among those experiencing anodyspareunia could result from their inability to resume pleasurable RAI. Thus, the loss of this sexual behavior, and the impact on role in sex identity, could result in psychological distress. Alternatively, as has been found in studies on vulvar vestibulitis (Zolnoun et al., 2006), psychological distress could be an antecedent to anodyspareunia. Muscular spasms and difficulty with relaxation can result from psychosexual distress. Thus, a possible causal relationship between psychological distress and anodyspareunia warrants further study.

The role of sociocultural factors in the management of psychogenic ED is also disregarded. Several studies reported a high prevalence of psychogenic ED among young Muslim men from the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent, due to misconceptions and sociocultural beliefs [15–18]. In these cultures, most men are reluctant to seek help, and when they do, they often await a medical diagnosis for their ED along with a quick treatment [19]. This is a matter that requires psychosexual education before prescribing any type of pharmacotherapy. Furthermore, sociocultural factors can lead to ED that is resistant to pharmacotherapy alone. For example, unconsummated marriage encountered mainly in conservative Middle Eastern societies and in some developing countries, is a frequent condition where newly married couples are unable to achieve penile-vaginal intercourse for variable periods despite desire and several attempts to do so [19,20]. The most common male reason for an unconsummated marriage is psychogenic ED also labelled as ‘honeymoon impotence’. In these scenarios, where addressing misconceptions and sociocultural beliefs is essential, combined therapy might achieve better results than PDE-5i alone, as the latter may aggravate the situation by putting more pressure on the spouses. Thus, implementing a combined approach integrating both medical and psychological interventions would increase ED treatment efficacy in the long term and decrease treatment discontinuation [21,22]*.

During their initial appointments, patients met with medical providers to receive a comprehensive physical examination and review of completed laboratory results, including an endocrine panel. They met with psychology providers to complete a psychosexual assessment. The presence or absence of medical problems or psychiatric illness was ascertained from current diagnoses recorded in the patient’s medical chart. Psychosexual functioning was determined from a comprehensive interview conducted by supervised psychology interns or licensed psychologists. The interview included questions to determine the nature of the sexual issues, contexts in which they occur, beliefs and knowledge about sex and sexual functioning, and psychological distress about sexual performance or sexual functioning problems.
