Sexually Stuck? Sex Therapy Usually Helps

By Michael Castleman, M.A. on January 16, 2012 in All About Sex

What should you do if you have a chronic sexual issue that's driving you crazy? Several good studies show that in two-thirds of cases, self-help resources provide real benefit. But what about problems self-help can't fix? In two-thirds of cases, sex therapy either cures them or produces significant improvement. Read More

Shouldn't the headline be, "Self Help and Sex Therapy Have Equal Outcomes"?

I don't think the study you cited was of people who had tried self-help books for sex therapy, and failed. It was of purely cooperative copies. It had the same outcome as reading self-help books. So what's the advantage?

This is a great point. What's the advantage of sex therapy over self-help books? They seem to have the same efficacy.

Sex therapy usually helps

Submitted by Jessa Zimmerman, M.A. on January 24, 2012 - 3:19pm.

Thanks for the clear and concise description of sex therapy and the types of issues that can be addressed. Just an aside, many of us integrate couples counseling and sex therapy instead of extricating the sexual issues to a separate forum. Relationship dynamics and sexual issues are usually heavily intertwined, so I like having all of it "in the room" at the same time.

Thanks for your work; I am enjoying the blog.

Thank you for addressing this important topic. I think there are a lot of misconceptions about sex therapy... But taking the time to work for a healthy sexual relationship is definitely worth the investment. Great post.

Thank you for this post. I think there are a lot of misconceptions about therapy. But often times, although it might require some actually work, the benefits are well worth it.
