Sex is a complex force. It has biological, psychological and emotional components. Some sexual problems are purely physical, resulting from a disability, an illness or side effects from medication, for example. Your GP can discuss options for treatment of these types of sexual problems.
However, most sexual problems are psychological. They do not stem from physical or physiological problems within the body.
Sexual problems might originate in negative messages that have been picked up about sex, past sexual trauma or previous negative sexual encounters. Depression, anxiety and self-worth issues can also contribute to sexual dysfunction. Cultural, generational and religious factors often play a role in how a person experiences sex.
Sometimes people find it hard to discuss sex and discussing sexual problems can be even more difficult. Experienced therapists are used to these sensitive conversations and will quickly normalise any discussions about sex or sexual problems. Most clients are surprised by how quickly they overcome any concerns about discussing sex once the initial anxiety has been alleviated.
Sex itself can be intimidating. Your partner may want to try sexual acts with which you do not feel comfortable. Or you may feel uncomfortable communicating your own sexual desires to your partner.
There are many reasons people often find sex difficult and many reasons people turn to psychosexual therapy in London.
We also see many clients for help with relationship problems and issues around sexuality and sexual identity.
