Problems in our sex lives can often feel unique and daunting, but they are likely issues that sex therapists have heard plenty of times before. From mismatched desires to navigating consensual non-monogamy, we asked a top sex therapist to reveal the most common issues they hear time and time again – and how to solve them.
Miranda Christophers has spent eight years as a psychosexual and relationship therapist, so there isn’t much about sex she hasn’t heard before. “You often see the same themes coming up, and they’re not always the reason why someone comes to therapy in the first place,” says Christophers, the clinical director of The Therapy Yard. “Sex is related to so many things in our lives, so a problem that feels completely unique or unusual will often be related to very common issues, and it’s my job to navigate people through that.”
