Getting help

Sex for many men, often plays a major role in their lives. So much is often tied up in male sexuality… Masculinity, intimacy, quality of life. Sexual confidence is a big thing in male sexual functioning. Unfortunately for many men, sexual complications often arise that can cause emotional distress, can place strain on relationships with intimate partners greatly impair enjoyment of what should be one of life’s greatest gifts.

Many conditions can undermine a man’s confidence in his ability to provide sexual satisfaction to his partner. Numerous medical conditions such as prostate cancer, diabetes and heart disease can severely impair erectile functioning.

It can be embarrassing to talk to a sexual health practitioner about your sex life, but it’s often one of the best ways towards getting treated and getting back to being intimate with your partner.

Many sexual challenges faced by men do not have medical origins…


A sexual health psychologist can often pinpoint the source of a problem and will often teach you numerous psychological and physical sex strategies that can be successful in treating many different types of sexual problems such as:

  • Penile rehabilitation following prostate cancer treatment.
  • Erectile dysfunction (problems in getting or maintaining an erection).
  • Premature ejaculation.
  • Inhibited ejaculation (difficulties in being able to orgasm).
  • Erection pain.
  • Peyronie’s disease (bending that occurs in the penis).
  • Low libido. Low sex, no sex relationships.
  • Sex addiction.
  • Penile rehabilitation following prostate cancer treatment. This includes advice on how to use various drugs (such as Viagra or Cialis) and devices not only of erection recovery, but also within sexual practices.
