What is Sexuality Counseling?
It is...
- an opportunity to talk about sex without fear of judgement
- a chance to ask questions of someone who has expertise in the field of Sexology
- helpful for establishing healthy sexual habits and attitudes
counseling (not therapy) that focuses on information, education, and support
- just talking with someone who knows that sex and orgasms are good
It can be used by individuals or couples, whether to work within current relationships, potential relationships, or alone. This type of counseling is helpful when there are sexual concerns (difficulty reaching orgasm, impotence, sexual incompatibility, etc.) as well as for people who are interested in expanding their sexual horizons (exploring different forms of sexual expression and play, returning to a sexually experimental lifestyle after a long period of abstinence or monogamy, etc.)
Who uses Sexuality Counseling?
People use sexuality counselors because they...
- need to talk about sex with someone who won't inflict judgement or shame
- have trouble reaching orgasm (or have never had an orgasm)
- would like to improve their ejaculatory control (to avoid "premature ejaculation")
- want to invite their partner to experiment with them sexually
- are are seeking an unconventional sexual relationship and want to be appropriately prepared
- are unsure about their sexual orientation, or would like help coming out to friends and family about their orientation
- have questions about sex or sexuality of any sort
People use Sexuality Counselors for any number of reasons. The motivation is unique to each situation, but sex is the thing that we all have in common but never talk about. Sexuality Counseling opens the door to communicating about every aspect of sex and sexuality, which benefits us all.
