Female sexologist online: why many women and couples prefer one

Illustration: Women’s Health
Quick answer

A female sexologist is a woman psychologist or doctor trained in sexual health and psychosexual therapy. Many women prefer a female sexologist for concerns like painful sex, vaginismus, low desire, difficulty with orgasm or intimacy after childbirth, and many couples and some men also find it easier to talk to a woman. Online consultations let you speak to a female sexologist privately from home, with your camera on or off.

Key takeaways
  • Comfort helps you speak openly, which leads to better help.
  • Female sexologists help women, men and couples.
  • Online sessions are private; no clinic visit or physical examination.
  • You can choose your preferred expert when you book.
