Sex-ist: Sex Therapy 101
We talk with a sex therapist about what it takes to resolve people's most intimate concerns.

We have a pretty cut-and-dried relationship with our bodies. If you break your leg, you would see a doctor. If you can’t get an erection, that same doctor might give you a little blue pill. But what if the problem doesn’t stop there? What if those little blue pills cause you some angst or anxiety? What if they make your partner feel sad or uncomfortable? You might want to call up your friendly neighbourhood sex therapist.
Joan Marsman is such a therapist. She’s been practicing family and marriage counselling for thirty years, and at 55, she’s utterly comfortable working with clients on topics as diverse as BDSM, pain during intercourse, and sexually transmitted infections. She handles the emotional element of sexual problems, working towards “tools and strategies” to help people get the most pleasure out of their sex lives. A typical round of treatment for a couple might take eight to twenty bi-weekly sessions, and Marsman also sees an equal number of single men and women.
