FAQs
What is sexology?
Sexology is the scientific study of human sexuality. "Sexuality" encompasses so much more than just sex itself. It's gender, body image, relationship styles, communication... It involves biology, policy, sociology, psychology... the list goes on and on! Basically, sexuality is intertwined in so many aspects of our everyday lives, whether we realize it or not. Sexology studies its interweavings.
A "sexologist" is an umbrella term for a professional in the field, including therapists, educators, counselors, and researchers.
What kind of sexologist are you?
I'm a sexuality educator, operating as a sex coach. Instead of teaching in a classroom, I basically create lesson plans uniquely designed for the client to help them achieve their goals and reach their highest potential.
That said, there are a ton of research, counseling, and therapeutic aspects that go into sex coaching. It's all connected!

What is sex coaching, and how is it different from sex therapy?
In few words, a person seeks a professional sex therapist to heal trauma, move through their recovery, and develop skills to cope and overcome those traumas. A sex therapist might diagnose a problem and offer solutions for moving forward in a healthier manner.
A sex coach is basically a personal sexuality education tutor who works with you to define clear goals and learn the knowledge and skills necessary to reach them. Sex coaching is a fantastic solution for individuals and couples who want to advance their sex/relationship/intimacy within themselves and with their partner(s).
Some examples why someone sees me for sex coaching:
- A couple wanting to increase their intimacy
- An individual having difficulty reaching climax
- A couple with differing libidos
- An individual who didn't receive quality sex ed and wants an education on it
- An individual who wants to explore and expand their sexuality
- A couple having trouble communicating their sexual desires
- A couple who has differing sexual interests
If you have more questions about sex coaching, just ask!
Am I normal?
So you want to know if what you like, what you do, or how you look is normal.
YES IT IS! As long as:
- it is consensual for everyone involved
- it doesn't cause harm to you or anyone else
If you are still unsure, or you want to further discuss your question of normalcy with a professional, please do not hesitate to reach out to me! And keep in mind, if something is atypical, it doesn't mean it's abnormal.
I want a sex toy, but the options are overwhelming. How do I decide?
The sex toy industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. That means there are endless options for consumers, which is both awesome and overwhelming. How do you choose what is best for you? How can you tell the good quality from the bad? If I need lube to go with my toy, what kind do I get?
Lucky for you, I can help! There isn't a "one size fits all" answer here. Let's chat about what you're looking for, and I will guide your search.

What's the #1 thing to know?
That it's impossible to answer that general of a question. It totally depends on the person and their situation.
Boring answer, right? Well, if I must...
Always continue to explore, understand, and appreciate your own unique sexuality.
Did you know that sexuality is ever-evolving? We aren't stuck with all of our likes/dislikes that we discovered during puberty. The more we learn and grow, the more our sexuality might evolve. That's not to say that you'll go from never dabbling in butt stuff to living your days wearing a butt plug. But I'm not NOT saying that, either. You never know! Don't suppress your own sexuality. Society does enough of that for us already.
