Although we've come a long way in the last half century, the reluctance to talk about sex is still prevalent in our society. Some men and women can relate to friends, partners and co-workers and actually embellish their sexual prowess and conquests. But what lies beneath the conversations is the ability to know the actual truth. When someone has a sexual problem they are not so willing to communicate this with just anyone.
But there is help. A sex therapist can be a comfortable choice with discussions having full confidentiality as well as compassion. Some of the issues that exist within the general public are erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, impotence and sex addiction to name a few. For many people suffering from these conditions it is hard for them to realize that they are not the only one. While some of these conditions are confined to one particular sex, others can afflict both sexes.
Who can have erectile dysfunction (ED)?
All age groups are susceptible to ED including younger males, middle age and post middle age men. There are a variety of reasons for ED such as anxiety, stress, guilt, loss, and even alcohol and nicotine. Younger men may have anxiety about using a condom or causing pregnancy. Middle age men may suffer from stress due to overwork, alcohol or nicotine addiction or a loss of their spouse. While the majority of older men are sexually potent, a number of factors that come with age and lifestyle can contribute to ED.
And there are other causes of ED. But how do you get to the root of the problem?
Talking to a sex therapist is the most beneficial route. If it at first seems intimidating, remember that this is a professional who deals with these issues every day so nothing you can tell them is going to surprise them or cause them to judge you. They truly want to help people attain a more satisfying life. And they're not involved in your daily life (i.e. you don't work with them) so you don't have to fear sharing your personal information with them, everything is held in confidence.
Causes of premature ejaculation (PE)Typically this affliction is more common in younger males. This may be caused in the early stages of sexual relations due to risk of detection and conditions the mind to climax as quickly as possible. A sex therapist may tell you that intercourse with ejaculation under 10 minutes is premature.
There are a number of treatments available on the market that can help to prolong the intercourse to a mutually acceptable conclusion. Personal development books and sex therapy are also trusted methods that will help you understand the condition and how to improve your sexual relations.
Keep in mind that not all sexual problems are limited to the male gender. Females may experience concerns as well. A consultation with an expert sex therapist can prove fruitful and help you and your partner attain greater satisfaction.
There are also personal development books that are available allowing you to do some inner "soul searching" if you will. Sometimes there are things completely unrelated to sex that hold us back sexually so working on inner peace never hurts whether you're looking to improve your sex life or grow in other personal areas of life.
