Sexual Health
At New Leaf we view sex and erotic health as a fundamental, beneficial, and critical aspect of human life.
Sex is not just about performance. Though sex therapists readily work with concerns related to desire, arousal, orgasm, and other performance issues, sex therapy embraces a view of sex as part of human nature, a mixture of pleasure and connection, and performance is not the ultimate goal for all sex therapy clients. We consider goals such as sexual empathy, sexual sense of humor, self-acceptance, capacity to navigate inevitable ups and downs in performance, a deeper understanding of one's erotic map and how to use this map to experience pleasure even when pleasure is not from "typical" experiences or responses, tools to navigate self-criticism and shame, pleasure and touch that are not focused on orgasm as a goal, accepting aging and the changes to our lives and our bodies, connecting with our erotic and sexual nature in new and playful ways, improving authenticity and communication, and more.

Hypersexuality or "sex addiction" is not actually a clinical diagnosis in the DSM (the U.S.'s clinical diagnostic manual). However, it's an idea that has gained popularity. It is also know as sexual compulsivity, sexual impulsivity, and out of control sexual behavior, among others.

Sexual health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. -World Health Organization
