Boston Sex Therapy
Boston Sex Therapy, Powered by Thriveworks Sex is awesome. Or rather, it should be. Aside from the fact that it’s our tried-and-true way of continuing the human race, sex can also be incredibly fun and satisfying. Unfortunately, however, we humans have an artistic flair for going about things in the wrong way: we elevate the importance of sexuality in our entertainment and advertisements while simultaneously cheapening its authenticity. It’s no wonder so many of us are so often confused, frustrated or anxious about sex. Despite how much it permeates various levels of our day-to-day (as Oscar Wilde once said, “Everything in the world is about sex except sex.

So, instead of it being … [Read more...]

There’s a part of you that feels lost, your heart is broken and there’s a huge hole in your life. Breakups are usually one-sided--one person walks off into the horizon while the other is left confused, angry, and sad. At this point, pretty much anything feels better than the pain you are feeling. When you’re heartbroken, the hurt, loneliness and vulnerability are acute. So, go ahead and block the person from all of your social media, delete them from your contacts on your cell phone, and rip up all of those heartfelt letters where you still reigned … [Read more...]
