Therapy for sexual problems in Brighton

There are many types of sexual problems, they are common, they happen to both men and women and they can be very distressing.

Problems having sex can bring feelings of shame, apprehension and anxiety. These feelings can make the original sexual problem worse.

Loss of sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus and sex or porn addiction are some of the common issues people bring to therapy. These problems manifest themselves differently for each person and the underlying causes of sexual problems may originate anywhere.

Sex is a complex force within us with biological, psychological and emotional components. It’s easy for our sexual health to get derailed.

The digital age has made sexual issues more common

Technology has created a range of new sexual problems.

Easy access to online pornography has led to an increase in people approaching therapy with internet-related sexual addictions, or coming to therapy feeling desensitised towards sex after over-exposure to online adult platforms.

Some social networking sites allow quick access to sexual partners and this has led to sex and intimacy issues developing in some people.

Counselling for sexual problems in Brighton can help

Sex therapy seeks to understand the mechanics of sexual problems and restore better sexual functioning.

Some people find speaking about sex very uncomfortable, and discussing sexual problems can be difficult. An experienced therapist should be able to normalise these conversations from the beginning and most clients are surprised how quickly they overcome their concerns once the anxiety of discussing sex has been alleviated.

It’s talking openly about sexual issues that often brings understanding and awareness of these problems to light.
