Sexual Therapies

Sexual therapy aims to treat sexual inadequacies. These are conflicts caused by sexual dysfunctions or sexual problems.

Sexual dysfunctions, in turn, result from a difficulty experienced by a person, or couple, during sexual activity, which includes desire (hypoactive or hyperactive), arousal (lubrication in the case of women, and erection in the case of men), or orgasm (premature ejaculation and difficulty in achieving one, as is the case for many women).

Many couples and even individuals suffer from various sexual problems that lead to sexual inadequacy, such as:

• Sexual orientation;
• Sexual dissatisfaction;
• One partner refusing to engage in other types of sexual activities, such as anal or oral sex;
• Lack or absence of sexual relations.
   

STRESS AND PROBLEMS FROM OUR DAILY LIVES ALSO HAVE A HUGE INFLUENCE ON OUR SEXUAL LIVES.

Generally, the sexual problem is a result of relationship issues, meaning that couples who cannot resolve problems in their daily lives that generate negative emotions such as anger, resentment, and anxiety, end up bringing them into the bedroom, which hinders their sexual performance, if they even manage to have any.

In sexual therapy, you can identify the problem that makes you unhappy and treat it.
Most of the time, the therapist prescribes "homework" for the couple to assist in the treatment. These tasks serve to:

• Develop self-pleasure;
• Discover what pleases and excites the other person;
• Bring the couple closer, physically and sensually;
• Learn to "disconnect" from secondary thoughts and fully engage in the sexual relationship;
• Improve communication and intimacy between the couple.

SEX IS PART OF ALL OF OUR LIVES. IT IS GOOD AND HEALTHY.

If you overcome the shame and seek help from a professional, you will find that your sexuality will become much more fulfilling and exciting than before, not to mention the positive impact it will have on your self-esteem.
