“For Michael and others who are uncomfortable discussing sexual issues face-to-face, distance sex therapy, as it’s known, is providing a new option. Its practitioners include credentialed sex therapists who counsel clients by phone, e-mail or in Internet chat rooms, where they address deeply personal …

  1. It should be no surprise that etherapy is getting popular and that many people benefit from it. The traditional one on one setting can create a lot of anxiety for clients. But the nonverbal communication it allows is considered very important so, once again, human interaction clashes with technnology. This debate has only just begun.

  2. I’m 23 years old and my husband and i have sex maybe 5-7 times a week. I have orgasms regularly, but sometimes i feel as if i’m about to explode, i think its an orgasm i’ve never experienced and i wish to achieve it but i run from it, i focus on relaxing and letting go but that never works. What can i do to help myself let go?

  3. No wonder.He gave the 27 year old ‘non-performer’two drugs with it.Either one could cause impotence!Jezzz.
    The lady with orgasm remarks.She needs cantharis a homeopathic at low potency.

  4. I am in a 3rd marriage, am 59 yrs old, and previously have had a very satisfied sex life. In my relationship and marriage to this husband, in the beginning I was haveing surgery and problems with having my bladder tied up. So he was not being at all sexual, which I thought was because of my surgeries. I was released from the Dr last Sept. He makes no sexual overtures toward me at all, and the only sex we have had I initiated. He seems to not want to fondle, or caress, or neck with me. He had been pushing me pretty hard to marry him, and I did. I am frustrated, I do not care to initiate sex all the time, and have moved out of the bed room. He said he was oral and wanted me to shave, so I did, but he hasn’t made any move to do any thing. He wants me to have my clit pierced ( so he will have something to play with) He gets turned on by watching dogs fuck women and I am not into that either. I am horney, and I am beginning to resent him, as he talks like he is a stud, and when I was mad one time and said fuck you, his reply was ” you wish” What am I to do, I wish I hadn’t married him. I also have paid some of his bills and paid over 70 percent of buying a house with him, and he has pretty much been living off of me since. I am about exhausted of $ and I am on dissability and medicare because of an accident.

  5. Is there anything more recent or has this site become defunct?

  6. I am in a relationship with my fiance. When we have sex, I always seem to cum before she does. When we have sex she does not enjoy it. We have tried different positions and everything, but nothing seems to help. What can I do to make her feel better?

  7. I’m 19 i have the stress of finding a college and i really don’t have time to see my girlfriend we try to make the best of our relationship but when we are apart we fight but when we are together we cant get off each other.she just informed me that she wants no sex for a week because she thinks that is the root of us fighting.i just am in dyer need of help.

  8. At 19, you have so many other worries. Sex is likely not the root cause, and both of you know it. YOu are having problems getting along because each of you are changing so fast, yet holding on to what you liked at the beginning.

    You need more conversation to stimulate interest, passion and intimacy. When you understand each other, you will not be setting restrictions on sex; it will happen with more frequency and be much more spontaneous!

  9. this is why Dr. laura is wrong. sex is sooo important in relationships that it cannot be put off till marriage. when people aren’t sexually compatable it messes up their lives. the 59 year old definately needs to divorce that dude because he’s just a dick who seems to only be after her money.

    i’m 19 too and a virgin because i just don’t have time for sex and a relationship. it would be nice to just have a one night stand but i can’t find anyone worth it. i’d much rather take care of it myself, which i do.

  10. Some “sex therapy” can be successfully done through phone or internet. This is because many sexual problems result simply as a result of bad information. Sometimes all a person needs is “the facts” to experience relief from perceived problems.

  11. Hi, I’m just wondering how painful it is when you lose your virginity. I can’t even wear tampons because they hurt too much, and I’m wondering if that means losing it will be super painful…

  12. hi. i live at home, want to have a therapist/psychologist who recommends private time to take care of men’s issues. Why? Because I live at home, my mom has anxiety disorder, and I dont need an employer see my mom in a panic attack for whatever reason, then think I am doing something wrong. Been through alot of bs, just covering myself. I am not a sex addict. I download alot for variety, but when i want privacy, the last thing I need is someone intruding. Seems like it happened alot. An ex friend did it, then it seemed it happened more, like why? Duh, If the loser if making people do it, that is foul. So I am covering myself from a total creep, or to secure some private time. Let me know if you are certified.

  13. im a 28 year old man, and i find that there are an extreme number of things that arouse me. i masturbate sometimes 5 times a day, and i find it to be enjoyable, but at the same time, 1. my orgasms have weakened alot, and arent as enjoyable anymore, 2. afterwards i feel that i have a problem, beacause i masturbate too much. i know i should find things to do to occupy my time, but even in doing so, i find some of the smallest things very arousing, and then there i am. again, is there any suggestions that might help me out?

  14. im a 22 year old woman, ive had my fair share of sex but im still not comfortable with myself. i wish so badly i could let loose and not be shy while having sex. im afraid of how my parter thinks i look or if it feels good etc. and when i think about it i love sex and want my parter to get really turned on by me and love everything i do in bed. but i am too self concious to be myself…or even be on top for that matter. what do it do to help?

  15. I am looking to concieve and we have been trying for about 3-4 months are there any tips to make this happen faster?

  16. I am a 33 year old man, married, but i really need to improve on my sex life. Beautiful features and sex arouse me normally as it would do to any other person.I got into a habit of masturbating from quite an early age and since it became a habit i am having less sex with my wife or even my girlfriend. Women don’t turn me on as they used to and even when they do i don’t go for as long as i used to or i loose interest after the first round. My wife is becoming more like a sister to me. Please help out.

  17. Hi, I am 30 year old. I have a problem; whenever I look at a female my attention (eye) automatically goes to her breasts and other body parts (sexually important). I’ve had this problem for last 8-9 years. I also realize that the person (the female in my conversation) finds out that I am looking at her breasts; the whole thing makes my communication embarrassing. As a result, these days I avoid talking with female. The consequence is I am loosing my female friends, find difficult to work with my colleague and other social problems.
    What is my problem? How can get rid of it?
    Thanks.
