Common Reasons for Sex Therapy for Couples

Many couples come to Rhode Island Sex Therapy for help with a range of issues, including:

• Sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation
• Mismatched sexual desires
• Performance anxiety
• Unsatisfactory sex life
• Emotional connection concerns
• Exploration of new sexual avenues

How Does Sex Therapy for Couples Work?

Sex therapy for couples at Rhode Island Sex Therapy aims to address both the physical and emotional aspects of your sexual relationship. The process typically involves an initial assessment, so your therapist can understand your physical relationship and your attitudes towards sex, as well as discuss experiences, emotions, and concerns.

Your therapist will then work with you and your partner to address issues that are uncovered through talk therapy. The frequency and length of therapy sessions will depend on you and your spouse or partner’s needs and challenges.

Oftentimes, your therapist will also give you and your partner specific exercises to help you both examine your beliefs and attitudes about sex, set realistic expectations and boundaries around sex, and refocus your attention on each other.

What Are the Benefits of Sex Therapy for Couples
