ABSTRACT

Divorce and relationship breakdown statistics, not to mention the prevalence of rape, sexual abuse and porn addiction, also present a worrying picture of the nation’s sexual health. There is more information available about sex and relationships than in previous generations and these are frequently discussed in the press and social media, yet somehow the difficulties people experience around sexuality and relationships persist and increase. It is also important to recognise that there are other ways of working with sexuality than through psychotherapy and counselling, especially when people see this work as developing/restoring the possibility of sexual fulfilment and not just about solving sexual ‘problems’. These include Tantra, sex coaching, somatic coaching, somatic sexology, etc.
