Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Sensate focus is a method for partners to learn what each finds arousing and to learn to communicate those preferences. It begins with nongenital contact and gradually includes genital touching and sexual intercourse. The squeeze technique is used to help the person learn new ejaculatory control responses. Counseling or psychotherapy focuses on helping the individual become aware of and resolve personal, sexual, and relationship issues. Education focuses on increasing the person's knowledge of the arousal-orgasm mechanism.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Although intracavernosal pharmacotherapy, alprostadil in microsuppository form, and penile prosthesis can be used to treat erectile dysfunction, the treatment of choice is the use of PDE5 inhibitors.
