YOUNG WOMEN’S GROUP STARTING
If you are a woman in your twenties struggling with a sexual concern such as low sexual desire, lack of arousal and/or orgasm, painful intercourse, or vaginismus, you may think you are the only one going through it. This is very far from the truth, I have found in my Dallas Sex Therapy practice.
Young women today can feel pressured to live up to what I call “the myth of swinging from the chandelier.” Because our society has become so sexualized – with sex being used to sell everything, teens being exposed to internet porn, and even 9 year old girls wanting to wear Britney Spears inspired outfits to school (because everyone else is) – the message comes through loud and clear that if you aren’t haveing a totally fabulous sex life as a newlywed, or don’t want sex with your partner all the time, that something is wrong with you.
So young women feel even more embarrassed about seeking help for their low libidos, or inhibition about being sexual because of their age. This can keep them isolated and feed the feeling of shame that can make the problem even worse. If you think that something is terribly wrong with you sexually, you will find it difficult to explore with your partner to learn what you like, and discover who you are as a sexual person.
This is why I’m starting a new Young Women’s Sexuality Group – so that women between 21 and29 can have a unique place to get information about female sexuality and communicating with your partner about sex, as well as have the experience of talking openly with peers who are also struggling. I think it will be a very valuable experience for you in discovering your sexual self, which you can then share with your partner.
The schedule of Young Women’s Groups will be announced soon. Please contact me at: lauren@boostyourlowlibido.com for more information.
