Low or MisMatched Sex Drives
Some people have sex every day, some have it a couple times a year, some never. There’s no right or wrong answer as to how much sex one should be having. Too much or too little sex becomes a problem only when there is a difference in sex drive between partners.
1 in 3 couples have concerns with mismatched sexual desire and when this issue is not addressed, it undermines the intimacy of the couple and can lead to misunderstanding, frustration and even infidelity. Both people within the couple have to be on board to make it work for changes to occur.
Depending on how long the relationship has been sexless or with minimal intimacy will make the difference as to how long it will take to get things back on track. There needs to be communication, understanding, time and most of all patience to see changes in the relationship.
Sometimes, it can be as easy as doing a physical check with your doctor or a change in medications they can help with to notice a difference. Other times, it may be more in the mindset and really focusing on the needs and desires of both partners in depth to make the necessary change to a bring back a positive intimate and sexual relationship.
The goal is to reconnect on an intimate, emotional and physical level. Sex Coaching with Tamilynn can help!

Orgasm Difficulties or Inability
Anorgasmia is an inability to reach orgasm and is thought to occur in about 12% of women and 75% don’t orgasm during intercourse. Anorgasmia may be either primary (the woman has never been able to reach an orgasm by any means) or secondary (an orgasm was experienced at some point in the past).
It may also be global (orgasm is not experienced by any means) or situational (orgasm may be experienced in certain sexual situations but not others; for example, with manual stimulation but not with intercourse).
Is it a physical problem, an emotional block, or both? Sex Coach Tamilynn can help guide you through the journey to find what may be keeping you from having the blissful experiences you deserve!

Painful Intercourse (Dyspareunia)
Pain with intercourse can cause problems in a couple’s sexual relationship. In addition to the physically painful sex, there is also the possibility of negative emotional effects.
This problem should be addressed as soon as it arises so it doesn’t cause deeper emotional and physical symptoms that build up and are too damaging to be fixed.
Working with women who have pain during sex is one of Sex Coach Dr. Stacy specialties as she has her own personal experiences that she has learned from. She can help take the focus off of the idea of performance and put the focus on finding ways to keep the intimacy and connection strong in other ways.
Clinical Sexologist Tamilynn Edwards can help you and your partner bring fun back to the relationship, where the pain can be dealt with in a more positive manner.

Pregnancy or Postpartum Concerns
Sex when trying to get pregnant can be fun and exhilarating in the beginning. But as the months or years go by, sex can turn into a source of frustration and stress.
Trying to get pregnant can make us forget that sex is more than intercourse. Sure, you need intercourse to get pregnant. But you don’t need intercourse to show love and affection to each other.
Infertility can bring up feelings of shame for men and women. It’s common for women to feel less like a woman and for men with infertility to feel less manly. Even if you once felt sexy and attractive in the past, infertility can change how you see yourself.
How can you improve your sex life while trying to get pregnant or if you have just had a baby?
What should you expect in the bedroom postpartum?
Are you worried you won’t feel sexy and that things will be different down there?
Will it hurt?
What is sex like after the baby?
These are all questions Clinical Sexologist Tamilynn can address during your sessions.

Sexual Anxieties & Inhibitions
Why are we afraid to say what we want, like or don’t like in the bedroom?
I believe that this fear comes from an underlying anxiety many of us have about sex. Our sexual anxiety keeps our mouths closed and the fact that we’re not communicating about sex robs us of the experience and connection you could and should have.
We have socialized ourselves to think of sex as an act, a performance, with an expected role we are supposed to conform to.
Why are we worrying about outcomes vs. enjoying the ride?
Sexual concerns and performance anxiety are common and can be worked on with great success. Clinical Sexologist Tamilynn can help!

Dating Concerns
After breaking up from a marriage or long-term relationship, it can be scary getting back out into the dating world. By relying on one person for so long to address your needs, you may have lost your confidence to do it on your own.
Being single can be very liberating as you are forced to see what you can do and be empowered to grow stronger by learning new skills and talents that you never knew existed!
First thing is that you want to look and feel attractive. I can help you work on things that you may want to improve upon with how you feel about yourself and your looks. There are a lot of changes with dating etiquette; especially with the internet and dating sites around, so a coach can help with developing a profile that will strike interest in others.
Learning where to go from there can be worked on as well. Being sexual with someone new after being in a long-term relationship may be daunting and you may want to improve on some skills.
Let Sex Coach Tamilynn Edwards support you in making good choices when it comes to your dating and sex life!

Early Ejaculation
Early, or premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates sooner during sexual intercourse than he or his partner would like. Premature ejaculation is a common sexual complaint.
Estimates vary, but as many as 1 out of 3 men say they experience this problem at some time. As long as it happens infrequently, it’s not cause for concern.
However, you may meet the diagnostic criteria for premature ejaculation if you:
Always or nearly always ejaculate within one minute of penetration
Are unable to delay ejaculation during intercourse all or nearly all of the time
Feel distressed and frustrated, and tend to avoid sexual intimacy as a result. Both psychological and biological factors can play a role in premature ejaculation.
Although many men feel embarrassed to talk about it, premature ejaculation is a common and treatable condition.
Medications, counseling and sexual techniques that delay ejaculation or a combination of these can help improve sex for you and your partner. Contact me, Clinical Sexologist and Certified Sex Coach Tamilynn so we can come up with a plan moving forward, so you can potentially enjoy a more fulfilling sex life!

Erectile Dysfunction
This is the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual activity. The most important organic causes are cardiovascular disease and diabetes, neurological problems, and drug side effects.
Erectile dysfunction can have severe psychological consequences as it can be tied to relationship difficulties and masculine self-image. Psychological concerns can make the situation worse and causes failed erections for this reason and not anything else; this is somewhat less frequent but can often be helped.
Erectile dysfunction is common, and approximately 40% of males suffer from erectile dysfunction at least occasionally.
Sometimes more drastic measures need to be looked at and checking with a physician would be important to check for underlying issues, but a start is to figure out if there is something in your thought process that may be blocked. Then maybe special products can be helpful or a change in your mindset can help things work better for you.

Sex Education & Skill Building
We get taught everything in life ranging from Math, Science, English and History to Human Anatomy and Physiology but so much of the education lacks the very important subject of Human Sexuality (or Sex Ed). It is no wonder there are so many people who have sexual issues or concerns and don’t know where to go to get the help they need or even if there is anyone to go to.
There is so much shame and embarrassment for many who don’t possess the skills to truly be the best they can be sexually and it isn’t anyone’s fault other than society not feeling that the subject of sexuality and intimacy is an important aspect of life and relationships.
Sex Coach and Clinical Sexologist Tamilynn has a diverse background and sexual education that can offer helpful information about the body, how it works, skills to be a better lover and how to appreciate your partners body better.
Don’t be ashamed that you may not know where your clitoris is or how to give oral to your partner or even how to help your partner have orgasms. You were never taught so you learned as you went. Take the time to educate yourself and have better sexual experiences moving forward.
