For whom is clinical sexology?  

Clinical sexology is for individuals and couples who experience a difficulty about their sexuality and who would like to understand the nature and reasons of that difficulty, dissolve it, and find a solution to it in order to feel better within themselves and their sexuality. 

Examples of sexual difficulties for which people consult a sexologist : 

For men:

• Difficulties to obtain or maintain an erection;
• Ejaculation that comes too fast, is retarded, or is absent;
• Lack of desire;
• Absence of pleasure sensations during sexual activities and/or during ejaculation.

For women:

• Lack of desire; 
• Absence of pleasure during sexual activities;
• Lack of lubrication;
• Pain during penetration;
•   Difficulties to obtain an orgasm.

For both men or women:

• Perturbing sexual fantasies;
• Unacceptable acting-outs (pedophilia, voyeurism, exhibitionism, etc.);
• Sexual compulsion; 
•   Preoccupations regarding one’s own sexual orientation (for ex., ambivalence, discomfort with one’s own homosexuality or heterosexuality, fear to become homosexual or heterosexual following dreams or new fantasies that are contrary to the present sexual orientation); 
•   Preoccupations about one’s own sexual identity and/or desires to become a person of the other sex.
