Does it matter what a therapist wears?

What you wear is an extension of identity.

What's the 'magic' ingredient for all relationships? ✨

It's not about agreeing - it's about making the effort to validate and respect their perspective; unless that view crosses a boundary and indicates an unsafe relationship. 

This applies to couples, poly partnerships, friends & family.

Are you bored?

Are your clients confusing sexual desire and arousal?

We often hear these terms used interchangeably, but they are critically different:
Desire: Means wanting sex/sexual contact (a cognitive state). 
Arousal: Means the physiological response to sexual thoughts/touch (a body state).

Is "libido" limiting our understanding of sex?

The word libido fails to capture the infinite galaxy of aspects that contribute to sexual interest - like eroticism, expression, & sensuality. 

It also wrongly presumes a sex drive is "natural", alienating people who don't experience one.
