Related website: www.eroticminorities.vpweb.com Sex therapy is a required part of every Marriage and Family Therapist's graduate training. However, advanced education in human sexuality is not required. Human sexuality, in all of its expressions, is an ongoing focus of my advanced education. Here's the short list of human sexuality issues in which I have clinical experience and advanced education: You just want to see a therapist who will accept your lifestyle or orientation, so that you can deal with other issues. You are in a heterosexual, homosexual, bi-sexual, or transgender couple and you have hit a slump, or are incompatible. You're in a polyamorous relationship and your relationship is on hard times. You want to be in a polyamorous relationship, but your partner is scared or resistant. You are striving for self-acceptance as a transgender person. You, or your partner, is "lousy in bed," or "over-sexed," or "under-sexed." You, or your partner, wants "kinky sex" or an "open relationship." You are involved, or want to be involved, with bondage, domination, or sadomasochism. You, or someone you love, enjoys fetishes. You, or your partner, enjoys transvestism (cross-dressing). Your sex life feels out of control. I understand that other therapists, or religious clergy, may have pathologized your sexual expression (in other words, told you that you're sick/abnormal). I understand that you might NOT want to be changed, or "cured," because this is, quite simply, your chosen style of sexual expression. Please, believe me when I say, I don't want to change you. Exception to my non-judgmental and accepting stance: pedophilia. It is against the law and I am a mandated reporter for child abuse, which includes sex with a minor. I cannot be non-judgmental on this and I MUST report you to the proper authorities.
