The rhythms of today’s life, the advent of new technologies, and the frenzy that characterizes our days can, unfortunately, undermine personal relationships.

Sex is a delicate balance between two individuals that is easy to compromise.

The topic is often considered taboo even if, in reality, there are various professionals able to help us resolve or understand problems related to intimacy; the sexologist is one of these.

Who is the sexologist? How does his consultation help you?

He is a doctor, or a psychologist, expert in sexual health and treating its dysfunctions.

Sexology is a discipline in which multiple fields, such as gynecology, andrology, psychology, and sociology, contribute.

Therefore, the sexologist’s skills are transversal and range across adjacent but independent fields. His task is to re-orchestrate the mutual interaction of all these.

Sexual consultation provided by sexologists aims to make people experience their sexuality in a more conscious way.

When the sexual dysfunction is not full-blown, even a brief intervention may be enough to remove small temporary obstacles that hinder the development of a satisfactory sexual practice.

Often, sexual tasks are adopted as a tool, i.e., exercises that the specialist prescribes to restore a climate of tranquility in the couple.

Does the visit take place alone or as a couple? How long does sex therapy last?

Single patients with sexual dysfunction require individual care. However, when the person has a stable relationship, the intervention is aimed at the couple.

Work with both partners is more likely to be successful than with individuals taken separately, although sometimes individual meetings can prepare the ground for subsequent work as a couple.

The duration of the therapy is difficult to establish a priori as the first objective is the elimination of personal/couple discomfort.

When to Seek Help?

If you’ve ever asked yourself any of the following questions, consulting a sexologist could be the first step towards restoring your sexual well-being:

• I feel uncomfortable because I have few sexual fantasies/desires/thoughts and little desire to practice them
• Sometimes, I am unable to maintain sexual arousal until intercourse is complete
• I can’t maintain an erection or lubrication
• I have trouble reaching orgasm
• My orgasm never has a satisfying intensity
• Even when stimulated, my orgasm is slow
• I ejaculate even with minimal sexual stimulation, or in any case, sooner than I want

It’s quite natural to feel anxious about your sexual behavior, and consulting a sexologist might be the first step toward restoring your sexual health.

These professionals are equipped to offer advice and remedies that can help individuals and couples lead healthier, more fulfilling sexual lives.

So, never shy away from contacting a sex therapist who can provide you with valuable counsel and effective solutions should you encounter difficulties in any of these areas.

Initiating this step towards a more vibrant and satisfying sexual life is vital, and it begins with seeking expert assistance.
