Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The therapist is using the sensate focus method, which involves nonsexual touching and exploration of each other's bodies to increase intimacy and decrease anxiety surrounding sexual contact. The squeeze technique and start-stop procedure are techniques used specifically to treat premature ejaculation, while systematic desensitization is a treatment for phobias and anxiety disorders.
