Sex is fun and talking about it removes the shame

ASK a couple about their relationship and they will talk for an hour. Ask them about their sex life and they will say very little.

Despite how much sex is written about, or discussed and seen on television and the internet, my experience as a sex therapist is that we are uncomfortable talking about our own sex lives. Yet, what happens or doesn’t happen between the sheets is often a barometer of what is going on at a deeper level in the relationship. Ignoring or glossing over sexual difficulties will only lead to further problems.

People look for sex therapy for many reasons — from impotence to failure to orgasm — but this thread of discomfort is common for most when talking about a private area of their lives.
