Read on to learn about what sex therapy is really like.
One of the biggest aspects of being a sex therapist? Destigmatizing sex and many of the larger issues that are associated with it. “As a sex therapist, there's a lot of psychoeducation and sex education that clients have to learn because of the inadequate information about sex in other spaces.
With regard to treating “discrepancy in sexual desire, we talk about how intimacy and sex was in the beginning of the relationship,” says Marcantonio, as an example. “Has it always been like this or did it change? If it changed, what happened before it changed?” Her clients build a timeline and better understanding of the challenge before taking steps to address it.
“For exploring opening up a relationship, we talk about how each person feels about this. Are they on the same page, or is it different?” says Marcantonio. “We want to make sure there’s a good solid foundation in the relationship and continue to build an understanding of each person's wants, needs, and desires around what this would look like if they didn’t open up their relationship.”
