Sexology

Sexology - (sexo- 1. From the English sex - sex and logos - concept, doctrine) - a branch of psychology that studies various aspects of human sexuality: sexual desire, genital organs and movements that ensure sexual intercourse, as well as various forms of sexual activity in in general. She also studies the influence of sexual conditions on character, metabolism, sleep and other physiological processes, as well as disorders in the development of sexual function and their treatment.

Sex therapy - psychotherapy is aimed at resolving interpersonal conflicts caused by sexual neurasthenia, eliminating symptoms of sexual disorders, reducing emotional stress associated with intimate relationships.

Despite the fact that an approach to the treatment of sexual disorders based solely on medical knowledge has existed for a long time, the idea of ​​​​the boundaries between dysfunction and normality existed only relatively recently: with the advent of the first sex education works, it gradually began to penetrate all branches of medicine. Psychiatrists, sexologists, psychologists, and neurologists have developed the basic parameters and norms of human sexual function and developed a number of methods for diagnosing, treating and preventing sexual disorders.

They predominantly used, as a diagnostic method, an assessment of the quality of sexual life, rather than medical intervention. In the broadest sense, this approach can be described as “sex therapy.”

The main goal of sexology is the prevention of sexual dysfunction in men and women
