The sexual nature of human beings is unique and display complex sexual behaviors. We create ideas, laws, customs, fantasies, and art around the sexual act. There are challenges to sexual functioning includes anxiety, sexual dysfunctions, illness, disease and disability. It is important to learn to adapt these challenges and this will maintain a positive view of sexuality. Sex therapy techniques help the clients to cope up with these issues.Although sex therapy has assumed the status of an independent psychotherapeutic specialty, practitioners of many disciplines and theoretical persuasions have been treating sexual problems for centuries. Despite active efforts to limit research and clinical practice in the area, interest in human sexual functioning and concern with sexual dysfunction refuses to go away. Both the efforts to maintain certain myths concerning sex and the efforts to change these myths attest to the importance of sex in our lives.
