Therapy for Men: What It Really Looks Like

Most men imagine therapy as… awkward. Sitting in a chair, being analysed, forced to talk about your feelings. And when it comes to sex or intimacy, you might fear it will be a stretch to present your experience in a 'polite' and 'acceptable' way and the whole thing will feel too embarrassing, right?

Here’s the truth: therapy for men with sexual or relationship struggles is nothing like that. It’s actually… pretty normal. You get to talk honestly, in your own words - no need to edit at all, I encourage plain speaking in your own words about what’s going on — whether that’s stress, sex, intimacy, porn use, a certain kink or simply feeling disconnected.

And instead of being “fixed” or told you’re broken, you practice simple skills like curiosity, listening, and staying present when things get uncomfortable. These little shifts can change everything — from how you learn to hold onto yourself and stay engaged even when things land in you as rejection, to how close you feel with your partner, inside and outside the bedroom.

This means that lot of men are pleasantly surprised and relieved that therapy feels way less intimidating than they thought — and they leave feeling more confident, more connected, and more like the partner they want to be.

So if you’ve ever wondered what therapy for men with intimacy and relationship issues looks like? Think less “scary shrink’s office”… and more “safe place to practice the stuff nobody ever taught you.”
