Dr. Ian Kerner is the Sherlock Holmes of sex—he’s a detective who helps people to understand the mysteries behind their sexual problems. His approach to sex therapy begins with a simple question: “So tell me about the last time you had sex.” This question establishes the “scene of the crime,” and then it all becomes a matter of searching for the clues that led up to it.
For this episode of the Sex and Psychology Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Kerner, who co-leads the sex therapy program at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in New York City. He is the New York Times best-selling author of the book She Comes First, and his latest book it titled: So Tell Me About the Last Time You Had Sex.
We talk all about Dr. Kerner’s unique approach to sex therapy, how people at home can use it as a form of self-help, and general tips for improving your intimate life.
Specific topics we cover include:
-
How is sex therapy like a form of detective work? And how can this approach help sex therapists to better serve their clients?
-
How can you better understand your own—and our partner’s—sexual scripts, and why is this a vital first step in fixing a sexual problem?
-
What are the different frameworks for sexual desire? And what can you do if you and your partner have different desire frameworks?
-
How is sex therapy similar or different with heterosexual patients compared to LGBTQ patients?
-
Why is it important for us to change the way we think about our own sexual fantasies?
-
How can you more effectively communicate about your fantasies with a partner?
