Systematic desensitisation is a type of CBT (Cognitive behavioral Therapy) mainly focussing on the behavioral component. It is used for people who have specific types of Phobias e.g. Agoraphobia (fear of being trapped).
It is very simple but an effective treatment. Initially the patient is taught some relaxation exercises to use during the therapy. The therapist will usually sit with the patient and come up with a list of situations that cause anxiety to the patient. The patient will then list them in a hierarchal fashion with the least anxiety provoking situation to the most anxiety provoking situation. They will start with the least anxiety provoking situation exposing the patient to it and ask them to utilise the relaxation techniques to prevent the anxiety. This has to be done repeatedly and once this situation does not cause any anxiety, the patient will move to the next step in a graded manner.
This requires active participation and repeated practice from the patient but the therapist can help with this initially.
Systematic desensitization would involve a schedule of gradual exposure to a situation, or a food or drink, or a fear, the purpose of which would be to enable the subject to eventually accept the situation previously unable to handle.

What is the Abstract noun for dead?
The adjective dead has the related abstract noun "death" (in some uses, deadness, meaning desensitivity).
Why would someone have vaginismus symptoms?
This condition is generally found in patients who experience conditions involving anxiety. It seems to be a stress response. Desensitivity and learning to control the internal pelvic muscles can start to alleviate the discomfort but talking with a mental health professional might be most effective.
What is the theory of voltage series feedback amplifier?
In a Voltage Shunt feedback Amplifier, the feedback signal voltage is given to base of transistor in shunt through a feedback resistor.This Shunt connection decreases the input input impedance and voltage feedback decreases the output impedance. In this amplifier input is current and output is voltage. Thus Transresistance is stabilized.Input and Output impedances are reduced by a factor of 'D'(desensitivity factor). Advantages: 1)Gain independent of device parameters. 2)Bandwidth increases. 3)Noise and non-Linear distortion decrease. 4)Prevents Loading effect. 5)Acts as good source for the next stage.
If a man lasts only a minute in bed does he just have a problem or is he really turned on or what could be the cause for this?
Many things can cause this from being extremely nervous to diseases such as diabetes, heart, etc. Some medications can also cause this. There are also some men that have premature ejaculation (this happens to men more than you will ever know.) If this continues it's best to see the doctor and work with him/her on this. Good luck Marcy ===ANOTHER ANSWER=== THINGS LIKE extreme nervousness and cardivascular disease (and others), generally cause a male to be unable to ACHIEVE an erection. It sounds more like premature ejaculation that he is experiencing, which is not all that uncommon. When a male is very much turned on and aroused, some times the least bit of stimulation will cause him to have an ejaculation ( like a few minutes of intercourse). I would recommend that one of you visit the local pharmacy, and where they stock condoms and lubricant, look for a product called "Maintain". There are other brands also. It is a cream or a gel that is applied to the head and shaft of the mans penis before intercourse. What this does is slightly desensitizes the penis and glans, and allows the man to maintain an erection longer, WITH stimulation, WITHOUT ejaculating within only a few minutes. This will prolong your enjoyment AND his. ALSO- condoms provide a bit of desensitivity to the penis as well. He should not feel funny about his situation, it happens to more men than would like to admit it! HAVE FUN!!
Do women like intercourse with two men?
Is your question really Do women wish to have a sex encounter with more than one man? if so then the answer is some do, most think they do, but don't and some don't. the ones that do are under the misapprehension that the more men they have sex with the more attractive they must be, and while there are advantages of this, such as experience, there are also severe disadvantages, such as an inability to remain loyal, satisfied by one man, in the future. and the higher risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, as well as being labeled a slut. those that think they do, but don't have heard at some point or another, through TV and fantasy novels, that having sex with many men can bring your love life more fun and pleasure, but have never dared to put it to the test, some innate feeling tells them that doing this could easily bring about the opposite of the desired effect. having sex with many men can bring about desensitivity and heartbreak, when you get attached The ones that don't, know the dangers of doing so, and know the advantages of sticking to one. that one will be finely tuned to what you do and do not like, they will be your perfect sexual match, especially if your their one and only, plus its also true, that when its sex in a relationship then its much much better than a one night stand, which may be a thrill at the time, but only because of the risk and danger, not necessarily the sex itself.
How does oxycodone enter the body?
Oxycodone, an opiate analgesic, creates several different effects in the body. Some of these include the relief of pain (analgesia), relief of diarrhea, decreased sensitivity to discomfort, blocking of unpleasant stimuli, sense of well-being, and euphoria. Some possible side-effects include nausea, itching, constipation, shrinking of pupils, lethargy, trouble achieving orgasm, and possibly death in the case of a MASSIVE overdose. HOW OXYCODONE WORKS IN THE BODY: When oxycodone is taken (as prescribed and as intended by doctors), it first enters the stomach of the user. The stomach's acids begin to break apart and digest the tablet/pill/capsule. Most oxycodone tablets (such as Percocet, Tylox, Endocet, Roxicodone) are known as instant-release (IR) tablets. This type of tablet/pill releases all of the oxycodone at once upon digestion. This creates a much faster onset of the drugs effects, and makes effects more profound (depending upon dosage and user tolerance), but in turn makes the drug's effects shorter acting. Other types of Oxycodone tablets (such as OxyContin) are called time-release, extended-release, or continuous-release tablets (all are accepted names). This type of tablet/pill releases the drug over an extended period of time, instead of all at once like the previously mentioned IR tablets. This causes a slower onset, but makes the drug's effects much longer lasting (usually lasting anywhere from 8-12hrs.) These signals tell the brain how the body is being stimulated. When something hurts you, the body's nerves carry a signal to the brain which "jumps" or fires across the synapse's tiny gap, and tells the brain "OUCH! That hurt!". The synapses work similar to how electricity jumps from one wire to another when an electrical charge or "signal" is induced to complete the circuit. Pain signals from the body must reach the brain to "complete the circuit" in much the same manner. In essence, the nervous system works like an electrical circuit.**) Basically, the oxycodone molecule slows down or blocks these signals of pain and other unpleasant stimuli. It also causes a slight feeling of numbness in the user's body. Now that these unpleasant signals are blocked, it may also cause a very pleasant feeling like being "lightweight" or "floating". This releases the brain's natural endorphins of pleasure, such as serotonin and dopamine. These chemicals are found naturally in the brain, and are what gives you the feelings and emotions of pleasure, happiness, fun, and joy. Oxycodone causes more of these endorphins to be released than is done naturally. These chemicals also cause a drastic drop in the perception of pain by causing the brain to bypass or ignore the negative signals. These endorphins are what causes the feeling of "euphoria" or intense happiness when oxycodone is taken. There are also receptors in the brain which causes the symptoms of diarrhea, nausea, and itching. The oxycodone molecules block diarrhea symptoms, much like they block symptoms of pain. However, on the other hand, the molecules may trigger or cause symptoms of nausea, and itchiness. Since oxycodone is a depressant-narcotic, it depresses or slows down the Central Nervous System (CNS), like described previously. When the CNS is depressed or slowed, it causes changes in the body's functions. It changes the way one perceives time, and may cause dizziness, uncoordinated movement, sleepiness, lethargy, slowed heartbeat, and slowed breathing. Oxycodone also causes a feeling of warmth and relaxation. Oxycodone may also cause trouble achieving orgasm, or lack thereof, in some users. This is because the signals from the sexual organs, or genitals, is slowed down or blocked from reaching the brain. This may cause a feeling of desensitivity in the genitals and/or the rest of the body. This makes the feelings of sexual pleasure less noticeable in some people, therefore making orgasm harder to achieve. Oxycodone improves the lives of those who are in true pain, but destroys those who abuse it. DO NOT USE OXYCONTIN UNLESS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A DOCTOR.
