What is a Sex Coach?
A Sex Coach is someone trained in various aspects of human sexuality who helps people overcome sexual problems. A sex coach teaches, trains, guides, motivates, collaborates, inspires, monitors, validates, and listens to help their clients achieve their sexual, intimacy and relationship goals.
Who Do Sex Coaches Help?
Sex Coaches help a wide range of individuals. In our society most people grow up with a lack of sex education and sex-positive instruction, and for that reason, most of us could use the services that a Sex Coach provides.
Sex Coaches deal with a variety of diverse clientele, from men, women, transgender, gay, bisexual, lesbian and queer identified, to married, single, or dating, as well as people who are sexually challenged or differently-abled, all from different walks of life regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, age or lifestyle.
What Kind of Problems do Sex Coaches Help With?
Many people grow to adulthood without knowing how to have a successful, fulfilling love and sexual relationship. They don’t know how to pleasure their partner, or even themselves for that matter, or how to communicate successfully about sexual issues when they arise.
Sex Coaches help people overcome various sexual and relationship issues including:
- Help married couples bring the spark and intimacy back into their relationship.
- Help couples learn positive, effective communication skills.
- Help couples overcome a mismatched sex drive.

What Do Sex Coaches Do?
Sex Coaches are like superheros and have a wide range of amazing skills.
Sex coaches share positive and accurate information with respect to relationships, intimacy and sexuality. This helps them to enable their clients to get positive results and enjoy healthy sexual relationships.
Sex coaches listen to their clients to help them determine their goals. They may give their client homework, or as we like to call it “Lovework”, such as exploring their body to find out where their erogenous zones are and how to pleasure themselves.
Sex coaches may give their clients various resources and tools or teach them sexual techniques and exercises. Some sex coaches are body workers or somatic healers who help their clients with a hands-on approach.
Sex coaches often take a holistic approach as they monitor a client’s progress, while providing feedback that allows their client to thrive, prosper and flourish sexually, mentally, emotionally and physically.
Sex is our second basic instinct after survival, so natural urges begin between the ears before they arouse between the legs. Therefore, sharing knowledge on sex can lead to sexual satisfaction and fulfillment.
What Kinds of Sex Coaches Are There?
There are lots of different types of sex coaches, each with their own modalities, teaching tools and techniques and ways of supporting their clients.
However, the two main types of sex coaches include talk-based sex coaches and hands-on body-workers.
Talk-based Sex Coaching is similar to Life Coaching, and sex coaches will talk, listen, encourage, teach, motivate, collaborate, validate and guide their clients through verbal instruction and communication, as well as offering visual and written resources, to help them solve a problem and reach a goal. However, there is never any touching or physical contact between the coach and the client and the relationship is kept strictly platonic and professional.
Hands-on Sex Coaches may do all of the above, but they also add a somatic element to their coaching, in which they guide their clients through touch, exercises and hands-on practices. This may include breath-work, touch, genital massage, verbal seduction and role-playing, teaching hands-on sexual skills, as well as teaching how to raise their sexual energy through sexual practices like Tantra.
There are also Intimacy Coaches and Sexual Surrogates who offer sexual therapy for individuals with disabilities.
What is the Difference Between a Sex Coach and a Sex Therapist?
A sex coach is a professional who is certified to help clients identify current issues in their sex life and to create an action plan towards their desired goals. They don’t deal with past issues, but are future-orientated helping the client set goals to transform their present sex life. Unlike sexual therapist they don’t diagnose, pathologize or treat a client’s dysfunctions.
A sex therapist is a professional with a degree in human sexuality as well as psychotherapy, theology, social work, medicine or counseling. They work with clients in a long-term process, looking at their past issues, to help resolve problems, behaviors, past traumas, self-destructive habits through analysis. They are bound by a code of ethics and require degrees plus clinical experience, and a state license. They often accept medical insurance.
As a sex coach it is important to refer clients to a sex therapist when necessary, when they need professional medical help or therapy. This could be for a variety of reasons including impotence, sexual aversion, female sexual arousal disorder, male erectile disorder, orgasmic disorder and premature ejaculation. Other medical conditions should be referred including dyspareunia, vaginismus, substance induced sexual dysfunction, confusion about sexual orientation or gender, any other mental or physical illness, including mental, physical, emotional or mental abuse or trauma, as well as depression, bipolar disorder and other mental disorders.
Why Hire a Sex Coach?
People seek out and hire a sex couch for a variety of different personal reasons. For couples, they may want help getting that spark back in their relationship, or a way to fix their mismatched libidos. They may want to learn to become better lovers and learn new sex skills. They may want to find more ways to include sex in their relationship, have more sex, explore sexual boundaries, try new things and become more sexually adventurous. They also may need help resolving conflicts, or sexual issues like low sexual desire that prevent them from having a satisfying love and sex life with their partner.
For individuals, they may seek out help to overcome a lack of confidence, low libido, lack of desire, or help them learn how to express their sexuality in a sex-positive way.
