Kamil,a 33-year-old lawyer,experiences premature ejaculation.Through behaviorally oriented therapy,he would most likely learn to minimize his problem by

A) engaging in sexual activity less frequently.
B) eliminating his high level of sexual guilt.
C) uncovering the unconscious fears that underlie his problem.
D) learning ways to control his urge to ejaculate.

Behaviorally oriented therapy focuses on changing specific behaviors through techniques such as relaxation and control strategies. In the case of premature ejaculation, Kamil would learn ways to control his urge to ejaculate, such as using the squeeze technique or the start-stop technique. Engaging in sexual activity less frequently or eliminating sexual guilt may not necessarily address the underlying cause of premature ejaculation. Uncovering unconscious fears would be more relevant in exploring deep-seated psychological issues, but behaviorally oriented therapy typically focuses on concrete, measurable behaviors.
