Sexual Difficulties

Sexual Difficulties

Confronting sexual problems with compassion is a case of understanding the psychological causes.

Why you should be talking about sex

You may be averse to the idea of discussing sex, your sex life, and any sexual problems you may have. This is perhaps because of the attached emotional associations such as embarrassment, shame, and stress. It is important to recognise that this is a normal reaction and that you are very much not alone, both in how you feel and the problem that you are experiencing.

However, if you are experiencing a sexual problem that is causing you distress, anxiety, depression, or not allowing you to be intimate in the way you desire, then it is vital that you take steps in which to alleviate the issue. Common questions pervade our understanding of sex, one being – what is a normal sex life? Am I having too much? Do I have an addiction? Why am I unable to be intimate?

Your identification with sex can have a profound effect on your ability to maintain intimate relationships, thus creating anxiety, all of which can lead to issues regarding performance. Some issues stem from past experiences that were either traumatic, or changes in life that can affect libidos, such as stress, dependencies on drugs, or pregnancy. Sexual problems may have many causes, but there are also many ways in which to resolve them.

By exploring the underlying issues that govern your feelings about sex you can gain valuable understanding into how to address the sexual issues you may be facing. Despite the symptoms for sexual dysfunction appearing physical, the cause and solution is likely to be rooted in the psychological.

This is exactly whyonline psychosexual therapy is so successful at helping people form healthy associations with sex, improve their intimate relationships, and resolve the issues that are creating distress.

How psychotherapy and counselling can treat sexual problems

People everywhere experience a multitude of sexual difficulties ranging from a loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, painful intercourse, anorgasmia, sex addiction, and pornography addiction. Working with an online psychologist or therapist you can explore the reasons why you may be experiencing the issues that you are.

Through this process, you may discover that there are unresolved problems that are causing your symptoms. It is common that many sexual difficulties are the result of problems in a relationship, intimacy issues, performance anxiety, stress or depression. However, there can also be prominent events that may have triggered certain behaviours or difficulties.

Your online therapist will help you explore these sensitive issues within a safe and confidential space of trust and respect. Online psychotherapy and counselling can allow you to discuss your problems whilst providing guidance to resolve both underlying causes and physical issues.
