What is Healthy Sex?

  • Healthy sex is not secretive or shameful to yourself or the other person.
  • Healthy sex is not abusive in any way.
  • Healthy sex is not used to ignore or escape your feelings.
  • Healthy sex requires an emotional connection with the other person.
  • Sexual health is about love, respect, mutual caring, giving and receiving pleasure, and a desire to know yourself and your partner in a deeper way. Sex can be intense, but the afterglow and heat remain, not dissolving into the next rush. It’s the simple pleasures that express or celebrate the love you share that will connect you over time.

The Center For Healthy Sex is proud to provide sexual addiction therapy to the Malibu, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, & Culver City regions. Call our sex rehab center in Los Angeles today at 310-843-9902 for a free consultation.

Self Tests
