Optimal Sexuality Experiences

ENHANCING YOUR SEX LIFE

WHY Would you and your partner like to improve your sex life?

WHO/WHAT Couples with low/no sexual desire or frequency, and/or desire discrepancy (in which one partner is more interested in sex than the other) who are interested in enhancing their sexual relationship and ready to embark on a journey to enhance their sexual experiences and relationships. The process will involve group therapy over 16 hours. Limit of 4 to 6 couples/group.

The content of the group is based on the work of the Optimal Sexual Experiences Research Team of the University of Ottawa, including elements and facilitating factors of optimal sexual experiences as well as research on group couples therapy. The groups are part of a research project studying the effectiveness of group therapy in enhancing sexual relationships. Your participation in the research project (which is optional) consists of completing questionnaires at multiple time points.

WHEN 7pm to 9pm on Wednesday nights, 16 hours over a period of 8 weeks. Initial assessment will help you to determine whether these groups are right for you. (If this time doesn’t work for you, please let us know– we will offer other times in the future.)
