Concerns about sexuality and
sexual problems are very common. The difficulties in talking to someone
about them or finding someone to help overcome them are just as common.
I offer several ways for individuals and couples to get safe, private help
with their sexual problems.
The
six most common sexual problems I see are briefly identified below.
A more detailed description can be found by following the link associated
with that problem description. Should the problem or barrier you are
experiencing not be covered here please contact me at this
Just
Ask Earl.... link.
Erection
problems, or
the clinical designation erectile dysfunction (ED), is still often referred
to as impotence by many. Premature
ejaculation (PE) is ejaculation that happens before
a man wants to ejaculate. That may be out of want to extend his
pleasure or to extend the pleasure of his partner. Lack
of desire can be caused
by medications, stress, overall health, etc. and is often a
secondary problem that starts after another sex problem. It can be
addressed in sex therapy with a high degree of success. Orgasm
problems are experienced by many women. They
are not able to achieve an orgasm, some have never experienced orgasm, and
some say they are not sure whether they have had an orgasm. As with
the male erection problem, the key to achieving orgasm is the brain.
It must be immersed in sexy thoughts. Vaginismus
is the spasming of muscles in the vagina.
It makes sex painful and, in many cases, prevents insertion of anything in
the vagina. Some women cannot insert a tampon or even their finger. Sex
drive differences are
normal. However, they can cause problems in a relationship. If
the relationship is otherwise healthy, differences in sex drive tend
to create problems about 20 percent of the time. In relationships
that are not healthy, differences in sex drive can be the focus of
arguments 80 percent of the time. |
