Intimacy and sexuality

How to recognize your sexuality?

Sexuality is not about who you have sex with or how often you have it. Sexuality is a combination of sexual thoughts, feelings, desires and behavior towards others. Sexuality is diverse, unique and knowledge of the laws of one’s own sexuality contributes to a happy life. If you experience confusion in your sexuality, it is more beneficial to go to a psychotherapist and explore sexuality in a safe environment than to take any sexuality test on the Internet.

What are the common problems in sex?

According to experts, sexual problems can affect up to 40% of people. They are accompanied by an unusual, incomplete or disturbed bodily response to otherwise effective sexual stimulation.

It manifests itself in the fact that your partner does not want to sleep with you, which leads to a lack of sex in marriage, and can cause other relationship problems. Generally speaking, aversion to sex is a defense mechanism by which the body defends itself. The causes can vary, from unpleasant sexual experiences in the past, fatigue and chronic stress to anxiety or other diseases. Psychotherapy can be an effective way not only for individuals who suffer from this aversion, but also for the couple, when the other is frustrated that the partner does not want to sleep with them.

Therefore, before you visit a sexologist or a pharmacy for pills, consult a psychotherapist and try to discuss your problems first.
