The term "sex therapist" is likely unfamiliar to most people. Indeed, sex therapists are a relatively new profession in my country, primarily addressing couples' questions about reproductive health and aiming to alleviate disharmony in their sex lives. Currently, because sex therapy is not yet recognized by labor and health departments in my country and lacks standardized regulations, many people are unaware of this profession.
Sex therapists fall under the categories of medicine, sexology, and psychology, and are not, as some might mistakenly believe, "prostitutes." This term should not be used as an excuse for malicious individuals to engage in group sex, and we should not view sex therapists with prejudice. Professional sex therapists are qualified mental health professionals who undergo rigorous and standardized training before being licensed.
How important is a harmonious sex life?
A happy marriage is inseparable from harmonious sex life, which helps maintain the relationship between husband and wife. In addition, sex also has many health benefits.
First, the endorphins released during sexual activity (especially during orgasm and arousal) help enhance physical pleasure and increase pain tolerance, relieving headaches, backaches, and other ailments.
Secondly, sexual activity allows the pelvis, limbs, joints, and muscles to participate more in activities, which helps promote blood circulation and enhance heart function and lung capacity.
Furthermore, men's semen contains "seminal plasma," a substance that can kill Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pneumococcus, and other bacteria, helping to clear vaginal bacteria and protect women's vaginal health.
Finally, maintaining a harmonious sex life can also balance the secretion of adrenal glands, keeping the immune system in a better state, thereby improving disease resistance.
What sexual problems can you seek help from a sex therapist?
Sex is alluring, but it can also break down. Not everyone enjoys a harmonious sex life. If you want to normalize your sex life, you can seek help from a sex therapist.
The problems that sex therapists address are very broad, including but not limited to: issues related to libido, ejaculation, and orgasm.
We all know that there are many reasons for disharmony in sexual relationships, including physiological factors as well as psychological factors. Many people are physically healthy and have normal reproductive function, but still cannot achieve satisfactory sexual relations, which is very likely due to psychological reasons. Therefore, if you have symptoms such as erectile dysfunction, painful intercourse, low libido, or premature ejaculation, you can seek help from a sex therapist.
