Answer to Question 2
Responses should consider:
Sensate focus is a sex therapy technique described by Masters and Johnson that requires a couple to redirect emphasis away from intercourse and focus on their capacity for mutual sensuality.
- A couple that is experiencing a sexual problem is instructed to find quiet, private time together one or more times each week.
- During these sessions, they are to remove their clothing and spend time taking turns touching and caressing each other, focusing on the pleasure they feel in touching and being touched. They must not touch each other's breasts or genital areas.
- Over the course of several weeks, the caressing is allowed to expand to include nipples and genitals, but the goal continues to be sensual and pleasurable sensations, not orgasm. Genital touching that may lead to orgasm is prohibited.
- Within a few weeks, the couple usually finds that with the pressures and expectations of intercourse removed, the sexual, sensual, and romantic feelings and responses are reawakened in them.
- As the process continues, they are allowed to touch each other to orgasm and eventually to engage in intercourse once again.
- Couples feel emotionally closer, and sexual desire increases for couples whose desire had been waning. Orgasm problems are often resolved.
