Summary

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is among the most common sexual dysfunctions experienced by men, affecting at least one third of men across the lifespan. Although pharmacological treatments are available, adherence to these treatments is poor, suggesting the need for integration of psychological interventions. This study will determine if a 6-session mindfulness-based psychosexual therapy (MBPST) group will be effective and feasible for men with situational ED. This study is adapted from a previously published 4-session MBPST protocol which was found to be beneficial for men with situational ED. Outcomes are measured using self-report questionnaires on sexual functioning/enjoyment, relationship satisfaction, and treatment acceptability.

Conditions

  • Situational Erectile Dysfunction

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness based psychosexual therapy ( MBPST)

The group treatment sessions will integrate empirically supported elements of psychoeduation, cognitive behavioural therapy, and mindfulness skills. Each of the six sessions will follow the well-defined manualized treatment protocol. The treatment is adapted from the study team's previous mindfulness-based treatment group (H15-03172), for situational ED which has been shown to be effective. Participants will be provided with handouts and asked to complete approximately 10-60 minutes/day of at-home practice/skills, which may include reading material, mindfulness exercises, and/or behavioural exercises between sessions. During the 2 follow-up sessions, participants will be invited to share their experience since the conclusion of group, ask questions, and participate in troubleshooting.
