What Is Done in Sex Therapy?

Initially, you will be asked to fill out a form containing data about yourself and your background, such as whether you are taking drugs, are experiencing stress, or have had certain diseases. If you come with a partner, you can be interviewed separately or together with your partner.

In sex therapy, you will be helped to recognize problems so that you can help you and your partner find a solution. You and your partner are likely to be given a task to do before the next sex therapy session. The task can be:

  • Practice communication with your partner.

  • Read or watch educational videos about sexual health.

Sex therapy consists of several short sessions. One therapy session generally lasts 30-50 minutes. Some problems can be resolved quickly, in just a few visits, but some may take longer.

In addition to maintaining household harmony, healthy sexual intercourse can help stabilize blood pressure, reduce stress, and help nourish the heart. If sexual relations actually make you or your partner stressful, consult a psychiatrist or psychologist to undergo sex therapy.
