What is a Sexologist?
I’m a sexologist. I study sex: what people do and how they feel about it. It’s a tough job, but someone has got to do it.
At cocktail parties, people are intrigued by my profession and I’m flooded with questions:
How did I get into sexology?
I started as a sexual health peer counsellor in undergrad and realized how much we all have to learn about sex.
Am I really into sex?
Oh yes.
Do I work with people with sexual dysfunctions?
Sometimes. But others with already-great sex lives come to sexologists for healthy enrichment strategies.
What’s it like to hear about people’s most personal secrets?
It’s fun, exciting, interesting and natural. Most importantly, it’s an ongoing learning process and I think I provide a valuable (and rare) outlet for discussing the vital subject of sex.
Does my husband know he’s a lucky guy?
Heck yeah. And I’m lucky too.
But what people really want to talk about are their own...
