Dimension 3 – Sexuality

How happy are you with your sexual life? Has sex with your partner become routine and/or unfulfilling? Can you say exactly what you want in bed, or let your partner really see you during an orgasm (or do you have orgasms)?  How inhibited do you feel in bed? Do you have sexual fantasies that you can talk about, or things you would like to experiment with? Do you have sexual questions that remain unanswered? Have you attempted to use sex to get non-sexual needs met in your relationship?

Our sexuality is the second thing that we become aware of after birth. The first, is that we exist, and that we are human. The second, is that we are male or female. Some people, who’s sexuality is not so black or white, may have mixed feelings about which body they are born into. However, the fact that we are all sexual beings is undeniable, and it is our sexual attitudes and beliefs that shape our sexual-selves, and ultimately shape our intimate relationships. Human sexuality is a core part of a human being’s life and is comprised of many aspects. Sexuality, therefore, is a multidimensional phenomenon. In our e-book explaining our Multi-Dimensional Relational Therapy (MDRT) model, we will address and elaborate on some of the most relevant aspects of sexuality, and help you understand how they manifest themselves in your relationships. Having sex is a biological function. Having meaningful sex can transcend that function, and as we understand the benefits of creating this transcendence, our relationships can grow, deepen, and bring us joy, that we, perhaps, have never before experienced.
