Sexuality is both fascinating and complex, and can influence everything from your physical health to your mental well-being. As both a form of expression and a biological need, sex plays a big part in one’s life, and that’s why it’s such a shame when we’re still unable to have open and honest conversations around the subject, especially when we’re facing challenges.
So, if you have questions or have hit a sexual roadblock, a sex therapist may just be what you need.

What Is a Sex Therapist Really?
A sex therapist is a professional who focuses on human sexuality. What makes a sex therapist so interesting is that they work with both the mind and physiology relating to sexuality. Their field of work is just as wide as one can expect from a broad topic like sexuality.
It can include dealing with one’s sexual identity, intimacy issues within a relationship, expanding one’s sexual horizons, assisting with policies and implementation to improve sexual health, such as in school settings, and much more.
What Can a Sex Therapist Help With?
A sex therapist is a therapist or doctor who specializes in problems related to sex and sexuality. There are many different issues that a sex therapist can assist with, including:
- No desire for sex: by far the most common concern is a lack of, or a difference in, sexual desire between partners. Sexual needs vary for each individual and stage of life, but can also be influenced by other factors.
- Pain during intercourse: this is most often experienced by women and can occur after surgery or childbirth, or as a result of illness. Underlying psychological issues, such as sexual trauma, can also cause pain during intercourse.
- Erection problems: men may experience issues such as premature ejaculation or difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection.
- Sex addiction or hypersexuality: while one person may turn to alcohol to cope with negative emotions, another may turn to sex. Sex addiction is often linked to a negative self-image, low self-esteem, social isolation, or depression. In cases of hypersexuality, sexual thoughts and behaviors become obsessive and interfere with daily life.
- Problems with sexual orientation or gender dysphoria: both singles and those in relationships may experience doubts about their sexual orientation or gender identity. You may be questioning whether you’re gay or lesbian, or feeling that you were born in the wrong body.
- Paraphilic disorders: sexual preferences come in many forms, but when a preference significantly deviates from what is generally considered common, it may be classified as a paraphilic disorder. People with such a disorder often experience significant distress and feelings of shame.
Consequences of Sexual Problems
The consequences of untreated sexual problems are often serious, and unnecessary. Struggling to perform in bed can lead to shame, guilt, a negative self-image, and even depression.
For couples, sexual difficulties can also impact the relationship itself. Sex plays an important role in intimacy and trust, but it also contributes to our overall functioning, creativity, and happiness.

How Does Therapy With a Sex Therapist Work?
You can go to therapy with a sex therapist alone or together with your partner. In the conversations, the cause of the sexual problems is determined. This could be physical, psychological, or relational.
Through conversation therapy, often combined with assignments, the therapist works on solving the problems. If necessary, a sex therapist can refer you to a gynecologist, andrologist, or other medical specialists.
Sessions With a Sex Therapist Are Probably Not What You Think
As with most therapy sessions, a session with a sex therapist will begin with a conversation, discussing your concerns and challenges, and assessing your situation. Once you’ve agreed on what needs to be achieved through these sessions, a personalized plan will be created, which may include talk therapy, sexual education, physical exercises, and other relevant activities.
Though a sex therapist can recommend some foods, supplements, or over-the-counter medications for certain physiological issues impacting your sexuality, they will recommend you to a nutritionist or medical doctor if more extensive dietary or medicinal interventions are needed.

FAQ About a Sex Therapist:
Absolutely! A sex therapist’s focus is on sexuality, which has nothing to do with whether you’re in a relationship or not.
Yes. Since there is never supposed to be physical contact during such sessions, whether it’s online or in-person, it shouldn’t make a difference.
Absolutely not. This is a concern that’s often raised, and much confusion stems from it. Although a sex therapist addresses a very physical aspect of our lives, there is no physical contact. At no point will a sex therapist engage in physical activity with a client or instruct a client to participate in sexual activity in their presence (whether in-person or online).
