Sex therapy is a type of therapy that helps people who are having trouble with their sexual feelings, behaviors, and relationships.
Just like how you can go to the doctor for a cold or a broken bone, some adults may need to see a therapist for help with their sexual problems. These problems might include having difficulty getting aroused or feeling pleasure during sex, not being able to have an orgasm, feeling anxious or worried about sex, or having conflicts with a partner about sex.
A sex therapist is like a special helper who can talk to you about your feelings and help you find ways to feel better. They might ask you questions about your body, your relationships, and your past experiences to try to understand what might be causing your sexual difficulties. They might also teach you different techniques or exercises to try at home to improve your sexual function or communication with your partner.
It's important to remember that sex therapy is private and confidential, and the therapist won't judge you or make you feel embarrassed about your concerns. The goal of sex therapy is to help you feel more comfortable and confident with your sexuality so that you can have healthy and satisfying relationships with yourself and your partners.
