Sex & Relationship Coaching

For most of human history, the concept of Sex & Relationship Coaching was basically non-existent.  Even in the realms of psychology and psychotherapy, the specific topic of Sex was not something most counselors or therapists were comfortable talking about.  This was largely due to cultural and religious biases that existed within our world.  However, this all began to change in the 1950s when Alfred Kinsey founded The Institute For Sex Research at Indiana University and in the 1960s when William Masters and Virginia Johnson begin observing and analyzing couples during live sex sessions conducted in their laboratory.  Even with this groundbreaking research breaking through cultural boundaries, our society has still been slow to adopt more progressive forms of Sex & Relationship Coaching. By the 1980s, people started to become more comfortable discussing intimate sex and relationship issues.  However, it also became increasingly clear that our traditional licensed professionals (including most psychiatrists, psychologists and medical doctors) were not really trained or equipped to deal with the many complex issues that people experience as part of their sex life and sexual relationships. Most of these issues did not require psychotherapy or medical intervention.  Instead, what was really needed was a more experiential approach.  While this certainly would involve some talk-based therapy (discussing the specific issues and potential solutions)… it also requires working with someone with a substantial amount of experience in these specific areas.  This type of experiential sex coach should also be comfortable guiding you through specific practice routines and scenarios.  Our clients have repeatedly told us that they learn more in just a few minutes during these real-world practice sessions then they have with hours, weeks or months of strictly talk-based therapy.
