Fake sexologist warning signs: how to avoid ‘gupt rog’ traps and unsafe cures

Illustration: Guides
Quick answer

Warning signs of a fake sexologist include promises of a ‘permanent cure’ in days, secret herbal or imported medicines sold with the consultation, fear-based advertisements about ‘weakness’ or semen loss, no visible qualifications, large upfront packages and refusal to refer you to a doctor. A genuine sexologist explains causes, offers evidence-based therapy, is open about qualifications and fees, and tells you when a medical check is needed.

Key takeaways
  • Guaranteed or permanent cures are a major red flag.
  • Be careful of medicines sold without a proper medical check.
  • Genuine sexologists show their qualifications openly.
  • Fear-based ads exploit normal worries like nightfall.

Frequently asked questions

Look for promises of instant or permanent cures, secret medicines, fear-based ads, hidden qualifications, upfront packages and refusal to refer to doctors.

Some advertisements use fear and myths about semen loss or ‘weakness’. Check qualifications carefully and avoid anyone selling unlabelled medicines or guaranteed cures.

Unlabelled or unknown products can contain undeclared ingredients and may interact with other medicines. Always speak to a qualified doctor first.

Listen carefully, explain likely causes, offer evidence-based therapy, give clear fees and refer you to a doctor when needed.

Ask for their degree and registration. Medical doctors are registered with medical councils; psychologists can be registered with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) for certain qualifications.

Stop any unknown medicines and see a qualified doctor if you feel unwell. Then speak to a qualified sexologist about your original concern; it is very likely treatable.

No. Nightfall and masturbation are normal. Ads that say otherwise create fear to sell treatments.

It can be, when the practitioner’s qualifications are visible and there is no medicine selling. We do not prescribe or sell medicines.
