Struggles around sexuality come with many different aspects. It could be medical, emotional, cultural problems, combination, or the inability to control your behavior. 
Once we identify what the struggle is, then we look at how it impacts your life and functioning, and your relationship. Ruling out things like medical challenges is important to begin the process of treatment.
Sex therapy is not about “doing the activity” but more about working through the problems and challenges you are facing as a couple. Homework assignments outside of sessions will help to learn and implement new things as well as improve some current or old activities in your intimacy.

Sexual dysfunction is common. In fact, 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men report experiencing some type of sexual dysfunction during their lifetimes. These dysfunctions may include:
low libido
low confidence
lack of response to sexual stimulus
inability to reach orgasm
excessive libido
inability to control sexual behavior
distressing sexual thoughts
unwanted sexual fetishes
A fulfilling sex life is healthy and natural. Physical and emotional intimacy are essential parts of your well-being. When sexual dysfunction occurs, having a fulfilling sex life can be difficult.
Sex therapy may be able to help you reframe your sexual challenges and increase your sexual satisfaction.
