Abstract: The brain of human being is often regarded as the most important sex organ. Not only does it constructs meanings for our sexuality but also regulates our sex hormonal secretion. When the status of hormonal secretion is imbalance, we may encounter sexual dysfunction which renders difficulty in reproduction. Medication may be helpful for some sexual dysfunction. However, when sexual dysfunction is caused by negative construction of the meaning of sexuality, treatment by medication may become ineffective and non-medical intervention can be more appropriate. This paper illustrates a case of erectile dysfunction which is caused by distorted attitudes towards sexuality. Non-medical intervention is introduced and its effectiveness within two sessions was demonstrated.
