Do you talk about sex?

Women who want to want

30% of young and middle-aged women go through a period of little to no sexual desire.  While some women say that they’re O.K. with not having sex again, often times that’s not true.

Sex-Surrogate Therapy

Many people think sex-surrogate therapists are a thing of the past.  Fortunately for many, they are not!

A sex-surrogate therapist can act as a substitute partner if you don’t have a partner at home who is able or willing to work with your sexual concerns.  Often surrogacy is limited to women helping men because men seem to have more sexual problems during sex with women.  A qualified sex- surrogate often has extensive training and creates a safe and supportive environment to resolve sexual issues.

When working with a sex-surrogate, it is advisable to be in therapy with a sex therapist.  This creates a comprehensive program because the sex therapist and sex-surrogate can create a treatment plan together with you to fit your needs.

The Female Brain

If you are female and want to know more about how you tick, if you have a female child, or if you are in relationship with a female I HIGHLY recommend you read “The Female Brain” by Louann Brizendine, M.D.

Dr. Brizendine simply and clearly lays out the differences between the male and female brains and makes it easy to understand.  She finally lays to rest the argument about nature vs. nuture and gives scientific evidence for why women are the way they are - versus just being from “Venus.”
