Individual Therapy
Is it bad or dirty to masturbate?
Masturbation isn’t bad or dirty. It’s a normal part of your sexuality. You shouldn’t feel any guilt or shame about doing it. Feeling guilty about masturbation can make you think badly about yourself. And that can be unhealthy.
Am I normal?
The first question that most people ask when they talk to a therapist is “Am I normal”?. They constantly want to know if what they are doing, feeling and fantasizing about inside and outside of the bedroom is “normal,” whether it’s their level of desire or the shape and size of their genitals. Apart from a detailed account of the problem, sexual history, physical examination and in some cases, diagnostic tests, help us answer the question.
Does a man develop erectile dysfunction as he gets older?
There are many myths and misconceptions associated with aging and sex. Be it the development of erectile dysfunction, impotence or low sex drive, none of it has got any real connections or reasons associated with growing age. Older men can enjoy equal intimacy and sexual pleasures as their younger counterparts
Is my penis too small?
Size doesn’t matter as much as some men think it does. But that doesn’t stop male patients from coming into my clinic looking for reassurance that the size of their member is, at the very least, average. There is a lot of concern over what is average and will a certain size be more acceptable by a partner and better suited for giving pleasure. Commonly I believe pornography sets unrealistic norms around penis size that create concern for many men.
Couples Therapy
Is it normal to feel pain during sex or What could be the reason?
Pain during sex may be experienced due to a number of reasons. Pain on initial penetration is often due to infection, spasm of the vaginal muscles or inadequate lubrication whereas pain on deeper thrusting is often caused by endometriosis, adhesions (scar tissue), a retroverted (backward-tilting) uterus or fibroids. If it hurts in a specific position simply avoid it.
What is a Healthy Sexual Relationship?
Healthy sexual relationship is different for every couple because every individual has differing sexual needs. While the activities involved in each sexual relationship can vary widely, in general, “healthy” sex should encompass the following:
- Both partners should feel equally pleased with the activities.
- Neither partner should feel forced into doing something they don’t want to do.
- The right to say “no” to sex at any time, for any reason.
- Mutual respect before and after sex.
- Neither party suffers a loss of self-esteem.
- Trust exists as well as openness about sexual history and current activities.
My spouse never wants to have sex anymore. What’s wrong?
In a long-term relationship, fluctuations in sexual desire are normal. But when your sex life is nonexistent and your husband or wife starts feeling more like a roommate than a romantic partner, it’s probably time to get to the root of the problem.
How do we keep our sex life alive?
Like most worthwhile things, a good, healthy sex life requires work; it doesn’t just happen by accident. Many long-term couples struggle with keeping that sexual spark alive because they think it’s supposed to happen naturally. Great sex requires great effort. If you want an active and satisfying sex life, you have to work together as a team to keep it exciting.
For instance, couples may want to consider experimenting with new positions or role-playing, scheduling sex during busy periods and continuing to communicate about their changing desires.
Does a sex therapist provide marriage counseling?
Yes. Communication problems often arise in relationships which need professional help. Many relationship issues are expressed through your sexual relationship, parenting styles, handling of finances, organization styles, etc. Sex therapists are trained in Marriage and Family Therapy and can help you address any unequal power dynamics in your relationship.
