HYPNOTHERAPY IN SEX PROBLEMS
Sex Can (And Should) Be Wonderful

One of the nation's outstanding hypnotherapists who is also a
psychologist has commented that good sex is simply an erotic trance.
When the similarities between hypnosis and satisfying sex are
considered, he is quite correct. Effective hypnosis involves high
focus and concentration on the matter being dealt with. So does
effective sex. In hypnosis there is a strong response to suggestion.
In sex there is a strong response to stimulation.

Sex therapists may not know much about hypnosis. But hypnotherapists
surely need to know about sex. From any approach the basic effort is
to free patients from worries, distractions, emotions or other
disturbances so as to develop a focused state of awareness. Orgasm
may well be the ultimate trance - sensations are powerful, highly
concentrated to the point where all other thoughts, feelings,
sensations or emotions are obliterated from the mind.

When problems develop in sexual performance or enjoyment, a logical
approach is (as in many other problem areas) to look for causes. What
has happened? When did problems begin? How did they progress. Quite
often hypnotic regression may prove revealing, locating sources of
problems and indicating the appropriate therapeutic procedures to
resolve them.

It is valuable at the outset to determine the client's dominant type
of sexuality – physical or emotional. Normal people are a blend
of
both, though one is usually a bit stronger. Sexuality, as with
suggestibility, can be measured to determine the dominant type and
evaluate its relative factor of strength. The physically sexual
person is likely to be a bit more outgoing, even aggressive,
sexually. To the emotional sexual, feelings are probably more
internal. For effective therapy it is important to identify sexuality
type in order to understand response.

While marital compatibility has been studied, reported and written
about in volumes, personality compatibility has received minimal
attention. It has long been recognized that opposites attract –
this factor is usually responsible for the "spark" that draws people
together. Yet the same "opposite" element provides the breeding
ground for future conflict, communication problems, lack of
understanding of intents and emotions and other factors which mature
into insecurities. Understanding sexuality types, then, can
facilitate compatibility.

"Vive La Difference"
There is an old story told about a forum on sexuality at which a
famous professor explained to the audience that "there is really
very little difference between the male and the female." Before he
could proceed further a resounding male voice called out from the
back of the hall in an unmistakably French accent:
"Vive la difference!"

Sexuality type refers to behavior – performance – not simple
in
sexual matters but in all aspects of life, dealing with situations
as well as relationships. Counseling and hypnotherapy can provide
opportunities and means to make directional changes that can avoid
detrimental life patterns and open doors to successful and joyful
living.

A client who, for example, is 60% physically suggestible is therefore
also 40% emotionally suggestible, and has enough emotional
suggestibility to understand, appreciate and adjust to the needs and
personality of a partner who is dominantly emotionally suggestible.
On the other hand, a client who is 80% physically suggestible is
likely to have a much more difficult time either understanding or
adjusting to an emotional suggestible mate. Some work is almost
certain to be needed to modify the suggestibilities involved so as
to bring them within ranges of psychological compatibility, saving
the relationship and making it more enjoyable.


Determining Factors
Some authorities on sexuality claim that a person's type of sexuality
is determined by the father (or father figure) in a family, usually
in pre-teen or early teen years. Children who have fathers who are
physically oriented – demonstrative, verbal, outgoing – are
likely
to emerge with physically sexual characteristics. In cases where the
mother is of the physically sexual type, and the father is not,
emotional sexuality is likely to develop.

However, the above is not always the case Major differences in types
of sexuality can be relationship-shattering. The most permanent
solution to such problems lies in behavior modification. Hypnotherapy
can assist clients with extreme differences that may exist out of
ignorance and/or misinformation. Understanding in necessary to remove
fears and permit relaxation so as to adopt or accept some of the
behavioral patterns characteristic of opposite sexuality types.

As modification enables behavior patterns to become less extreme
on either side of the center, a balance can develop between closeness
and distance, both of which are necessary in rewarding relationships.
This results from the achievement of better balance between the
physical and emotional sexuality characteristics of the partners
involved, and leads to understanding, appreciation and communication
levels which can prove mutually satisfying while increasing
relationship bonds.

Hypnotherapy has proved wonderfully helpful in dealing with
psychosomatic sexual problems – impotence, frigidity etc. –
and in
enhancing self-esteem and confidence where such is necessary. The
development of positive self-image is always an important factor in
adjusting to the needs and desires of partners and achieving the
ultimate in relationship security.
