Research indicates that sexual dysfunction is prevalent across genders, but can affect up to 43% of women (Laumann et al., 1999).

This 8-week, online psychoeducational group will provide education about what healthy sexual function means for men and address barriers that interfere with healthy sexual response. This group is designed to balance being given reputable education about sexual function and fostering a safe, confidential space to address, acknowledge, and process sexual concerns with other women having similar experiences. The group will be facilitated by Dr. Maria Hanzlik, clinical psychologist, AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and Sex Therapy Supervisor, who works with individuals and couples addressing a variety of sexual concerns. Groups will be conducted using Google Meet, a HIPAA-Compliant telehealth platform. Some of the topics the group will address include:
- How do we talk about sex and anatomy?
- Fact vs. fiction regarding men’s sexual function and response
- Normal sexual changes across the lifespan
- Maintaining healthy sex in long-term relationships
- How childhood messages about sex affect individuals in the present
Pre-registration is required as well as an individual intake session prior to the beginning of the group to address history and assess concerns, expectations of group, and goodness of fit. Men 18 and older are eligible to participate.
