A sex therapist feels comfortable talking about sex. While nothing is off-limits and nothing is taboo to talk about, most people have trouble bringing up anything when it comes to sex. Physicians are good talking about how the body works, but are limited by their own experience when it comes to solving sex problems.
Sex therapists are aware of how anxious you might feel talking about this intimate subject with each other and with a near stranger. They will help set you at ease and guide you into talking about sex. Sex therapy gets to the root of the problem. Research shows that most people who could have easily solved their problems wait six years before seeking help!! Fear of confronting the problem and discovering that they are truly not compatible is so powerful that they delay and delay, feeling more hopeless every day.
But most often a couple in sex therapy finds a way to feel more pleasure and more joy. What happens in sex therapy? When a couple comes into my office the first thing I want to know is β what is hurting them. I assess the problem that brought them to therapy and the history of the problem. Next, I often offer separate interviews with each partner. I can see the road map for how to solve the problems and we set out on the work.
Eventually, after both parties feel deeply understood and supported whether they want more frequency or more emotional connection first, then, I might assign sensual touching and eventually more erotic homework. Sex therapists have hope and are fair. Often one partner needs sex in order to feel connected and the other needs to feel connected before they want to have sex. Both sides of the problems must be understood and worked through for a fair solution.
What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat? The top two problems in my practice: low sexual desire and frequency disagreements between partners. What if I get turned on talking about sex with my sex therapist?
