Sex Therapy

What is sex therapy, anyway?Sex therapy enables either you (an individual or a couple) to talk with a therapist about what may or may not be happening in your sex life.  Also, since there are many myths about what is "normal" when it comes to sex, taking with an educated professional can give you a much better perspective regarding whether you have a real problem, or not, and if so, what you can do about it.

10 Things You Can Do to Improve Your Sex Life

1. Take care of your physical health. Exercise, rest, and reduce stress. Eat a healthy diet. Laugh often.2. Sexuality begins within you. Reconnect with your own sexuality first. Know what turns you on and where your erogenous hot spots are located.3. Talk to your partner about what you know brings pleasure to you. Ask about what is pleasing for him/her. Try something different. Take a Tantric sex course. Visit a local bookstore’s sexuality section. Use a vibrator and other “toys”.4. Make time for sexual intimacy either by scheduling time or reducing the amount of things that fill your time.5. Work on improving the health of your relationship. A healthy relationship is very important in promoting sexuality.6. Remember that sexual intimacy is more than orgasmic performance. It begins with seductive eye contact and continues through with eye gazing.7. Try a lubricant! Lubricants come in many different forms and the one you choose should not only serve to reduce friction but also not be chemically irritating. There are many commercially produced lubricants to aid your body’s normal lubricant which will improve sensory pleasure.8. Do Your “Kegels.” Kegels are pelvic floor squeezes, which strengthen the PC (pubococcygeus) muscle. To exercise this muscle, imagine urinating and then stopping the flow. Squeeze for 10 seconds, release, and repeat about 5 times, several times a day.9. Protect your sexual health. Practice safe sex. Get checked regularly.10. Aging and disability does not mean the end of sexuality. What it does mean is that you will have a wonderful opportunity to be open and creative.
