Sex therapy does not involve physical contact between the client and the therapist, whether in the therapist’s office or anywhere else. You will also not be asked to take clothes off or do anything sexual with or in front of the sex therapist. This includes face to face, and digital or telehealth sex therapy. For some reason people seem to think they are there to watch you and give you scores out of ten. This is not the case. You will never be asked to do anything physical in sex therapy sessions, so you can breathe easy there! Treatment plans include talking, like in regular psychotherapy, and sometimes suggest exercises to practice at home in private between sessions. A sex therapist will not be involved in any type of sexual activity with you. Registered therapists that offer sex therapy are bound by codes of conduct and often have various other background checks. Don’t be afraid to ask them questions regarding their credentials, background checks and what will and wont be expected of you before your appointment if you’re unsure. There are other forms of sexual coaching used in a therapeutic way which work differently. Sexual Surrogacy is one of them.
