Our experienced sex therapists in Sunshine Coast can help bring back the spark that was lost and make lovemaking one of best parts of your relationship again.
Sex is about so many things; Love, fun, eroticism, lust, connection, pleasure, ravishment and surrender.Great sex and lovemaking can be the glue that keeps you feeling deeply and physically connected with each other, enabling you to weather many other kinds of storms in your relationship and life in general.
The paradox of sex is that when it is good and satisfying, sex plays a small but positive role in your relationship (about 15 – 20%) ; BUT when sex is unsatisfying, avoided or a problem, it plays a hugely powerful drain and negative role in your relationship (from 50 to 75%).
At the Hart Centre Sunshine Coast, we have a range of psychologists, counsellors and therapists who offer sex therapy, desire & intimacy, sexual trauma and sexual addiction counselling in addition to relationship and marriage counselling.
About 45% of couples have concerns or problems with sexual desire, arousal, orgasm or sexual satisfaction. Sex problems are rarely a simple performance problem with a simple cure. They are a result of psychological, physical and relationship factors and can cause great emotional suffering and distress, creating negative ripples throughout various areas of your life.
Even though sex is a common topic for laughter and jokes in many social conversations, most couples don’t really talk much about what they like and don’t like with each other, nor are most people educated on how to have a great and healthy sex life.
Often it is assumed that once you have been together for a period, that the fun and quality of your sex life naturally diminishes, but research has shown that this is not the case, and that the best sex can actually happen in couples who have been in a committed relationship for 15 years or longer.

Although sex is a common topic for jokes and social conversations, most couples don’t really talk much with each other about what they like and don’t like, nor are most people educated on how to have an enjoyable and healthy sex life. Most people get by on trial and error and some information picked up from books, television and friends.
