Our experienced sex therapists in Sydney can help bring back the spark that was lost and make lovemaking one of best parts of your relationship again.
Intimacy and sex are about so many things; love, fun, eroticism, lust, connection, pleasure, vulnerability and surrender. In the early days of a relationship, it’s natural to experience an overwhelming amount of chemistry and passion for each other. Just their touch or the sound of their voice can make your skin tingle.
But when this initial rush of chemistry starts to be replaced by the more comfortable feelings of security and contentment, sexual issues may start to arise. The desire and passion can begin to dissipate. The paradox of sex is that when it is 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 very destructive role in your relationship (from 50 to 75%).
At the Hart Centre Sydney, 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.
The short answer is yes! If intimacy or sexual issues are coming up in your relationship, you may be wondering what can be done to help? Rest assured there are many avenues that can be taken to help sexual issues such as low libido, different libidos, difficulty orgasming, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, porn addiction, and maintaining desire.
Many couples (some experts estimate about 45%) have concerns or problems with sexual desire, arousal, orgasm or sexual satisfaction. Sex problems are rarely simple – there is not one cure-all available. They are a result of psychological, physical and relationship factors and can cause great emotional suffering and distress.
Even though sex is a common topic for 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.
The Hart Centre offers 4 types of counselling, for different sexual issues. Therapists may offer a mix of the below types of counselling.
