Sex and Couples Therapy Part 4: When Your Partner is Kinky RECORDING

Helping Couples Have Erotic Empathy

9 am Pacific, 10 am Mountain, 11 am Central, 12 pm Eastern for 90 minutes

Most couples don’t talk about erotic desire prior to committing to a relationship. They think I can suppress it for the duration. They often pathologize their own sexual interest so they think it doesn’t belong in a relationship and they hide it. Eventually, their true erotic selves surface. Usually, by the time they are brave enough to share it, there’s a marriage, children, and their partner doesn’t want it. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the definitions of kink as an erotic orientation – what you get into. Most therapists pathologize kink and inaccurately see it as coming from trauma. Become aware of kink and the definitions. It’s not about orgasm, it’s about play.
