Who should see a sex therapist and why? What can you expect from sex therapy?

 

Sex therapy means work. (jlp)

 

When is the right time to see a sex therapist?

 

You have a sex problem and do not know what caused it, or you have a problem that you cannot define. It's time for sex therapy - a therapist will help you define your problem and find its cause. You will identify it together. When you get to the heart of the matter, you can start solving it. If you cannot solve it, you will just have to learn to live with it.

 

Sex therapy is appropriate even if you are single. (jlp)

What sort of problems can be resolved with sex therapy?

 

Sex therapy is most useful and effective in overcoming communication problems with your partner and discovering your sexual identity. It is effective in resolving concrete problems in sexual intercourse as well (difficulty with reaching an orgasm, erection problems, etc.), if their cause is of a psychological nature. Sex therapy will not help you much if you are not serious about it. Sex therapy means work. A sex therapist does not have all the answers and quick solutions. Actually, a sex therapist alone cannot provide any answer without your cooperation. If you are not ready to do your work, it is better that you do not go to a therapist because you will be disappointed. A sex therapist can only help you if you first help the therapist.

 

Deciding for sex therapy together is an important breaking point for both of you. (jlp)

Single people and sex therapy

 

Sex therapy is not only intended for couples or individuals in a relationship. You can also see a therapist if you are single. Some sex problems arise when you are not in a relationship and can be resolved even if you are single. In principle, however, it is recommended that both partners undergo sex therapy. In that way, it will be more effective. The decision for sex therapy that you have made together is an important breaking point for both of you because it means joining forces and accepting the responsibility for what is going on.
