What is Sex Therapy?

Sex therapy is a kind of psychotherapy, a term for treating mental health issues by consultation with a mental health professional. You can address issues with sexual function, sexual feelings, and intimacy via sex therapy – either in individual treatment or collaborative therapy with your partner. Any adult, regardless of age, sex, or sexual orientation, can benefit from sex therapy.

Sex therapy can help you identify and resolve various sexual problems, from worries about your partner's relationship to concerns about sexual function or sensations. You may choose to concentrate on issues like:

• Concerns about sexual desire or arousal
• Concerns about sexual interests or sexual orientation
• Compulsive sexual behavior
• Erectile dysfunction
• Ejaculating too quickly (premature ejaculation)
• Trouble reaching orgasm (anorgasmia)
• Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
• Intimacy problems related to a disability or chronic condition
• Concerns regarding past sexual trauma

Talk therapy is sex therapy. The therapist will question you on the issue when it first arose and what steps you've taken to address it. A history of your prior relationships will be accepted. After that, a treatment plan will be developed. This could entail counseling, reading books and articles, and engaging in activities alone or with a partner. Most patients who begin sex therapy are happy with their choice to look for help.
