Sex Therapy: Making a Path For Greater Intimacy

Sex therapy is far from a new aspect of psychotherapy but it’s still not as widely understood as it should be. As with any other form of therapy, sex therapy is focused on helping persons improve a particular part of their lives by addressing the areas that could be holding them back.

There are many reasons why individuals or couples may need to find a sex therapist.

Anyone who is dealing with some kind of sexual dysfunction that’s interfering with having healthy intimacy can seek out a sex therapist. It’s estimated that 43% of women and 31% of men may deal with issues that affect their sex lives.

Some common reasons for getting sex therapy include:

  • Low or excessive libido
  • A lack of interest in sex
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Premature ejaculation 
  • Low sexual or self-confidence
  • An inability to reach orgasm
  • Being unable to control the sexual desire
  • Having undesirable sexual fetishes
  • Having distressing thoughts about sex
  • A lack of response to sexual stimulus

Bear in mind that this list is not exhaustive and other factors can affect being able to have a fulfilling sex life.
