Sexuality in all its forms is so important to life and relationships that it often becomes a central focus of psychotherapy—thus transforming the work into “sex therapy.” Integrally Informed sex therapy—orienting from quadrants, lines, levels, states, and types—involves therapists attuning to clients’ sexuality from multiple perspectives to resolve problems, enhance intimacy, and increase erotic fulfillment.

In America, sex therapy hit the mainstream when William Masters and Virginia Johnson scientifically researched and openly discussed sexual anatomy, physiology, problems, and solutions in the 1960’s. Masters’ and Johnson’s language of dysfunction and function led to 70’s and 80’s models emphasizing education, conflict resolution, and differentiation. All these approaches have been increasingly informed and aided by tantric practices which have migrated from Eastern wisdom traditions to become progressively more mainstream in the West. An Integrally informed model adds to this rich mix a balanced consideration of universal drives, themes, and relationships, existing on genetic, physiological, social, interpersonal, yogic, and spiritual levels.

We each express masculine and feminine aspects and essence—embodied in different combinations—at work, within relationships, and erotically. Lovers generate intersubjective fields which morph and change depending on levels of conditioning, states of consciousness, relationship, and culture. In therapy, common problems like diminished arousal, infidelity, and sexual shame, are often gateways to the deeper waters of personal and relational development.

Our nature is to love, and yearn for love. We suffer when not true to our authentic nature. We have all ached for erotic fulfillment—yearned to embody erotic transformational bliss. These dimensions include and transcend traditional sex therapy goals such as keeping an erection ten minutes longer or having an extra orgasm. An Integrally informed approach embraces myriad conditions and alternatives, collectively reaching for intimacy and unity through the pleasures and demands of sexuality.
