Sex = a TABOO?
Sex – most of us talk about it, we
all know about it, it is an important part of our life.
It is easy to talk about sex when it
comes to jokes, anecdotes, when everything seems to be fine. We talk about sex
when it is funny, when we are good at it and when it is sexy. Sex is everywhere
from the TV, Internet, radio, magazines, and billboards. Media show perfect sex
of the perfect people. The pornography
industry makes
millions creating and selling unrealistic imagines of sex.
Why? Because sex is one of our basic
needs. Evolutionary it make sense to make sex an important part of our lives. Without passing on our genes we would not
survive as a specious. If so is Sex still a taboo?
When was the last time you talked to your
friend about yours or your partners sexual difficulties? How much do you know
about sexual dysfunctions? Why should
you know about them?
Because at some point in your life
you will experience some form of sexual dysfunction, either personally or
through a partner.7-8% of men in the 20-40 age group and more than half of men
over 70 experience Erectile Dysfunction or impotence. Some men and woman have
to face a loss of libido under the age of 40. Often it is due to the
psychological issues, weight gain, spinal injury, hormonal imbalances and the
use of many drugs, including alcohol. Have a new baby can influence our sex
life. Past experience , unrealistic expectations, stress and depression can
have a negative impact on sex.
Even thought we will all experience
sexual difficulties at some stage of our lives, we do not talk about it. Sex is
consider a very private part of our lives. Most of us have sex less or more
often and it is normal to have sex, but when things go wrong we often consider the subject
too private to talk about.
Sexologist = Sex education + sex
therapy. Many couples and individuals who seek advise or therapy turn to a sex
therapist. They learn about their own
and their partners sexual needs and try to match their expectations, so that
both partners are satisfied. When there is a problem together with a sex
therapist they try to understand it and find the solutions to improve their sex
life. Many problems that my clients experience are due to psychological issues.
Sex education could be just enough.
Sometimes my clients need to go through sex therapy to find the rut of
their sexual difficulties. There can be many psychological causes having a
negative impact on their sex life. As a therapist I would advise everyone
experiencing sexual difficulties to make the first step and talk to a trusted
person. It is possible that you do not need to see the professional straight
away. Sometimes an honest conversation with a partner or a friend can be
enough. Try it first. However if you do
not notice any improvement do not be afraid to talk to a sex therapist. Sex
health is important, do not be afraid to ask for support. Remember we will all experience
sexual difficulties at some stage of our life. Sexual dysfunctions prevent or
reduce an individual's enjoyment of normal sex and prevent or reduce the normal
physiological changes brought on normally by sexual arousal.
Most common sexual difficulties:
Sexual
desire disorders
