2. Sexual Caresses
After several days of these exercises, the partners may concentrate their caresses on the sex organs and the woman's breasts. Again, guiding each other's hands can be very helpful. Both partners should also let each other know exactly how they like to be masturbated, and especially the man must tell the woman how he wants her to hold and stroke his penis. This kind of openness truly enables the partners to give each other pleasure. However, they still remain under the therapist's firm instruction not to aim for coitus or even for orgasm. If an erection of the penis occurs, the partners just stop playing for a while until it goes down. Then the man can allow himself to be masturbated again until he has another erection which he loses again, and so forth through several repetitions. This simple "teasing" of the penis will assure him that there is nothing frightening about losing an erection, and that he can always get it back.
