What is a Sexologist? 

At its most basic, a sexologist is someone engaged in the study and research of sex. Yet, this term also encompasses those practicing privately or within groups, aiding people in overcoming sexual challenges. Similar to a sex therapist, a sexologist offers support and solutions to their clients on a variety of sexual issues, though their approach and expertise will differ. Overall, their focus of work is short-term and more closely aligned to a sex coach in terms of licensing and required degrees. This article provides an comprehensive explanation. 

What Can They Help With?

Sexologists are your go-to expert for navigating the intricate world of sexual health and function. Whether you’re dealing with low libido, porn addiction, premature ejaculation, or are just curious about sexual identity, a sexologist provides the insights and strategies needed. They work with you to resolve sexual dysfunctions, improve communication in relationships, and explore your sexual desires safely.

How Do I Find the Best Sexologist For Me?

There are a variety of different types. A somatic sexologist, for example, uses a hands-on approach in their practice, while clinical sexologists generally favor a more talk-based method. Many professionals are also further specialized onto tantra, breathwork, or somatic sex education. It’s a good idea to decide on the direction of the work you want to do first to find the truly best fit for yourself.

Often, people also prefer to work with a professional of a specific gender identity, race, or sexual orientation. Our directory offers female, male, nonbinary, trans, LGBTQIA, and BIPOC sexologists.

And while many sexologists are seeing clients online, if it’s important for you to see your chosen practitioner in person, you can find a sexologist near you via our location-based directory.
