Some couples come to therapy because they have stopped being sexual with each other. They may have found that anger and resentment has built up between them and one member of the couple loses their desire to have sex. They may feel they no longer communicate well. The longer they go without having sex the harder it is to begin having sex again. They may come to a sex therapist to help them understand how anger and resentment are affecting their relationship. Some times couples don’t have the expertise they need to effectively make love and are unable, because of shyness, fear or shame to talk about what they want sexually from their partners. A sex therapist can help them learn to communicate their sexual needs, develop better sexual technique and overcome shyness, shame and fear associated with sexual inexperience and disinformation. Sometimes a man may feel that he wants greater and longer control over his ejaculation. He may be having problems having intercourse at all, because erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. Sex therapy addresses those issues through medical referral and frank discussion augmented by teaching ejaculatory control techniques. Sexual desire: The desire to have sex is often extinguished due to hormonal changes present after the birth of a child. This is normal and need not be a part of the long term relationship if both new parents make an effort to continue to be sexual by scheduling sex around the demands of parenting. Communication problems often happen when clients hide what it is they want. They may feel they don’t have a right to have their need met or that intimate relationship is too dangerous to take the risk of asking for what they want. Either way clients are often communicating their desires, but their partner doesn’t like what they partner is |
