title: Anaesthetic ejaculation.
abstract: Literature on the uncommon symptom of anaesthetic ejaculation and the relevant physiology is reviewed. Seven case vignettes describing the clinical pictures, background histories and common features of this problem are presented, along with some psychometric data. No physical causative factors could be elucidated. The main features shared in common by these men were problems in the recognition and expression of emotions, and a performance orientation. Treatment by sex-therapy procedures was ineffective.
