When Sex is a Chore and the Magic is Missing: Understanding and Working with Diminished Desire and Nonorgasmic Sex among Cisgender Women
Title of Event: When Sex is a Chore and the Magic is Missing: Understanding and Working with Diminished Desire and Nonorgasmic Sex among Cisgender Women
Description of Event: Diminished desire and difficulty orgasming with a partner are the two most prevalent concerns cisgender women bring to health-care providers. Additionally, evidence indicates that many cisgender women struggle with these concerns, yet only reveal this to clinicians upon being directly asked. Unfortunately, however, too few clinicians have any training in assessing or dealing with these common sexual concerns, even though empirically supported treatments for both exist. This seminar will help you understand the cultural reasons for the high prevalence of these sexual problems among cisgender women. You will also become well-versed in the myriad medical, individual, and relational causes underlying both concerns. Most importantly, evidence-based treatments for both diminished desire and orgasm issues will be presented. You will leave this seminar able to assess and intervene with these two common sexual concerns.
