This is precisely how I got into the business of sex therapy after going through med school and then a specialty in psychiatry. Very few of my colleagues would discuss sexual issues with their patients and I couldn't understand why. I had to seek out additional training and supervision on my own and now have a practice outside my hospital job that focuses solely on sex therapy with couples and individuals. I am also getting more involved at the med school level to teach med students how to talk about sex with their patients. I think that many of the comments here point out how important it is for these new doctors to overcome their own anxieties about sexuality so that they can be of real service to their patients. http://ReclaimYourSexuality.com http://ReclaimYourSexuality.blogspot.com Reading this article and all of the comments that have followed confirmed my own personal experience that not too many docs out there are comfortable talking about sex.
