What are the differences between sex coaching and sex therapy?
Traditional sex therapy often focuses on sexuality from a medical or dysfunction-based viewpoint. Sex therapy usually ends when things are “OK” and rarely shoots for “great,” “mind-blowing” or “out-of-this-world” sex.
Often, problem-resolution takes a long time and rarely goes into enhancement or expansion around sexuality. Like some traditional sex therapists, sex coaches are highly educated and trained sexologists so they can provide you with all of the research-based information that a sex therapist can provide.
While many sex therapists resort to using books and videos as homework, sex coaching goes beyond homework because people don’t always do their homework. And even when they do – they can’t necessarily see what might be missing in their interactions.
Experiential and hands-on education in a sex coaching session can show what is missing, and your sex coach is able to give you more specific and accurate practices for change. This creates much quicker, more effective, and lasting transformation and a sense of mastery that transforms your daily life.
