Sexual Dysfunction, Schizophrenia Spectrum, and Other Psychotic Disorders Program Transcript

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MALE SPEAKER: It's pretty frustrating. Not just for me, but for the both of us. I mean I feel like I'm letting her down. I mean we do other things. But I just can't seem to get an erection. It's no fun.

FEMALE SPEAKER: We're hanging in there though.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, it seems as if you guys support each other. And you've had a complete physical, right?

MALE SPEAKER: Yes. I've been checked out by both my GP and a urologist. Nothing medically showed up. I'm pretty healthy. I mean I barely even drink. Maybe a couple of beers or a glass of wine now and then, but--

The one doctor tried putting me on some of those medicines for erectile dysfunction. Like the ones advertised on TV. But they didn't work. I just can't seem to get it up.

Which is how we ended up here. This is out of the blue for both of us. I've never had this before. I've never even been to see a therapist. We just want to work this out.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Of course, you do. So what else is going on with you, maybe at home or at work?

MALE SPEAKER: I think things are pretty good overall. Wouldn't you say, honey?

FEMALE SPEAKER: Yeah, no problems. None that I can think of We have two children. They're wonderful. Doing just great. And things are fine for me at work. I'm a nurse. I work part-time.

MALE SPEAKER: And I'm in marketing. I just went through my annual review and I got flying colors. So no stress there.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, that's good to hear. Well, it sounds like you're not seeing any other issues related to this?

FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, maybe. You haven't been sleeping well.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Oh yeah, that's right. I toss and turn a lot. Been worried about this I guess.

Oh, and I've been taking some online business courses. I'm going after my MBA. I work on the computer a lot of nights. And I probably have that on my mind when I come to bed.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Yeah, a lot of nights.

MALE SPEAKER: Come on. It's not that bad.

FEMALE SPEAKER: No, actually sometimes it is. I've told you, sometimes it's like the computer comes first. Not all the time, but--

MALE SPEAKER: It's my MBA, honey.

FEMALE SPEAKER: So you're saying is that it feels as if he's a little disengaged from you and the family.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Yes. Hmm. So since the erectile dysfunction became an issue for you, have you sought any other sexual outlets? Do you masturbate?

MALE SPEAKER: Yes.

FEMALE SPEAKER: And are you able to ejaculate?

MALE SPEAKER: Yes.

FEMALE SPEAKER: But how? I thought you couldn't.

FEMALE SPEAKER: By any chance, do you use pornography to help you masturbate?

MALE SPEAKER: Yes.

FEMALE SPEAKER: What? That's what you're doing on the computer at night? Masturbating to porn?

MALE SPEAKER: I'm sorry.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Look at me. No more lies. What else haven't you told me?

MALE SPEAKER: It's not just at night. I look at it during the day. Sometimes once, sometimes twice, sometimes more. And my job review really wasn't all flying colors. I got caught looking at it at work. I got reprimanded. It was bad.

But don't worry. I'm not going to get fired. I swear. I haven't used the computer there like that for months. You have to believe me. Please.

FEMALE SPEAKER: You swear you're not using your work computer. But what about that new cell phone they gave you? Using that for your porn now? Oh, my God.
