Or maybe your boyfriend is having problems in bed. He starts making love, but before you know it he’s ejaculated, leaving both of you frustrated and dissatisfied. You don’t know what’s wrong and whenever you bring up the subject, it turns into a fight. Where can you turn?

How do you find a sex therapist? What are their qualifications? How can you be sure you need one? How long does it normally take and how much does it cost?

“People are ready for a sex therapist when they’ve tried everything and don’t know what else to do about their sexual issues.

Sex therapists treat many problems, including loss of desire, erectile dysfunction, inability to achieve orgasm, and sex problems associated with medical health issues.

Whatever the cause, if you and your partner are unhappy with your sex life and can’t make headway, sex therapy could be the answer.

Before responding to newspaper, magazine or Internet advertisements, it is wise to check out the therapist’s qualifications. Ask about the therapist’s training and experience, approximately how long therapy will take and what fees are involved. “Be guided by the fact that an initial visit is not a commitment, and if anyone requires advance payments or wants to set up a schedule of advance appointments you should be very cautious,” she said.

Finally, choose a therapist with whom you feel you can trust with your most intimate thoughts and problems. You must trust and be able to confide in your sex therapist before treatment can succeed.
