Description

Discover how couples can overcome their sexual impasses and enhance their erotic life by understanding and working with their particular styles of sexuality.

The most common problems facing American couples--of all age groups, straight or gay, married or unmarried--are inhibited sexual desire and discrepancy of sexual desire. Unfortunately, most “remedies,” such as sharing sex fantasies, being verbally explicit during sex, and using porn videos, just make the problem worse, adding embarrassment and hopelessness to an unhappy situation. In this course, we’ll discuss more healthy solutions to address in the consulting room.

  1. Learn to identify different sexual styles—complementary (roles are equal and flexible), traditional (one person initiates sex, the other intimacy), emotionally expressive (adventurous and erotic), and best friends (focusing on intimacy and spiritual partnership).
  2. Specific steps to help clients identify their sexual styles and find sexual strategies that are congruent with their own preferred style.
  3. Master techniques for working with the specific vulnerabilities of each style that can subvert sexual desire and how to identify the different modes of arousal suited to different couples.

Objectives:

  1. Demonstrate how to help a couple develop sexual-desire strategies that are congruent with their sexual style.
  2. List specific vulnerabilities of each couple sexual style that can subvert sexual desire, and describe ways to confront these.
  3. Identify for which type of couple partner-interaction arousal, self-entrancement arousal, or role-enactment arousal is most likely to enhance sexual desire.
