What is Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy is, in essence, a form of psychotherapy that is specifically focused on the emotional and behavioral issues around human sexuality. Although sex therapists often work closely with medical doctors, sex therapy does not address medical issues, which are usually treated by a gynecologist or urologist. Sex therapists never engage in sexual activity with their patients. They are counselors that help individuals or couples resolve their emotional or communication issues about sex. Some of the problems that a person might see a sex therapist for include:- Erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation
- Inability to have an orgasm
- Pornography addiction
- Sexual inhibitions
- Sexual trauma or abuse
- Couples with differing levels of desire
- Physical issues with sex due to disability
