September’s Position of the Month: Voluptuous V-Sit

September’s highlighted position of the month is the Voluptuous V-Sit. With COVID variants continuing to pick up speed, please keep healthy sex practices in mind - please remain cognizant to wash your hands (and use the restroom) before and after a sexual experience! Another comfortable and sensual way to start a sexual experience is to take a shower together. A sexual experience will release oxytocin and other beneficial endorphins, which will help to increase the emotional bond between you and your partner(s), plus it’ll also release stress and tension.

Do I Need Sex Therapy or Couples Therapy?

This is a question that I hear a lot in the first few sessions of working with individuals and couples. Client(s) are always interested to know if a specific struggle should be processed in an individual therapy setting, or if this something that should/could be addressed in couples therapy. And, then do we need couples or sex therapy? In short, the answer to this question is a bit more complicated than it appears!

January Position of the Month: Blissful Bend

Since COVID-19 is still surging all over, you and your partner are likely still spending a great deal of one-on-one time together. Add in coming out of the holiday session and COVID fatigue, y’all might really be in need of a connecting and tension relieving exercise! The two of you might feel more comfortable following the recommendations that have been posted for Sex and the Coronavirus Pandemic (found here). If you or your partner are not feeling well, you might consider delaying sexual engagement. As a healthy sex practice, please continue to wash your hands before and after a sexual experience. Plus, if it helps you both to feel more comfortable, start your shared sexual experience by taking a shower together!

If Your Wedding is Postponed Due to COVID, then Consider Couples Counseling

I have given 2020 many names, but my latest is “a year of reflection.” We have found ways to navigate what originally seemed like impossible circumstances. We have dealt with overwhelming emotions and goals that were not forecasted in our New Year’s resolutions. While it is important to grieve the loss of so many experiences that were unable to continue, it is also helpful to use this time as an opportunity to reflect and grow.

June Position of the Month: Navel Gazing- From Our Certified Sex Therapist

It’s officially June which means it is time to celebrate Pride across the world. While many Pride parades and celebrations have been postponed across the nation (including our own Houston Pride Parade) due to COVID-19, we are still celebrating you at Heights Family Counseling. June’s position of the month is the Navel Gazing. How many people enjoy being able to make eye contact while orally pleasing a partner? This is not an uncommon experience, but can be made more difficult to do when offering oral pleasure to a partner in a traditional position.
