What are the tasks of a sex coach?

· The expert helps people overcome problems related to sexuality.

· They give people complete education on sexuality.

· Helps people become strong sexual beings.

As a sex coach, you should work with a simple objective of helping people to better their sexual lives and keep aside any blame, shame, or negative judgment. This non-judgmental nature will help your clients to be open with you and discuss their problems freely.

Your clients should not be insecure to talk to you. This is a vital point in the sex coaching business. I firmly believe this point and practice it in my coaching business too.

I always make sure that my clients are comfortable and are not insecure while discussing their issues with me. This helps my clients to discuss their problems without being judged and helps them to achieve their goals.

People are insecure to discuss their sexual problems so you have to be extra careful and make your clients comfortable.

You have to guide people to solve their sex problems and not give them any kind of therapy.

Also, sex coaches come with different attributes. They have their techniques. You have to apply your unique style of coaching. Use a system of coaching that you are confident of.

You must be thinking about who needs a sex coach. So let us look at that in our next section.

What types of people hire a sex coach?

Do you often wonder and ask yourself – Who are your ideal clients?

For instance, if people want to learn a dance style, whom they ask for help? Dance professionals, right?

In a similar way when people face problems in their sex life then whom do they ask for help? Sex coaches, right?

Who you gonna seek help from when your sex life is disrupted? You know the answer now, don’t you?

I will tell you an incident to explain in depth. I read an article about a woman who was married for 20 years but never had an orgasm. As per experts, she needed some guidance. She approached a sex coach who gave her the right help.

Apart from that, some clients have other sexual problems like erectile dysfunction, low desire, premature ejaculation, etc.

Couples, parents, young adults, individuals, old people can have sexual problems. So, anyone who faces problems in their sexual lives can contact you. There is a huge market for you to become an expert in this field.

What does a sex coach do?

Firstly note that there are two kinds of sex coaches-

1) Talk based Sex coach

2) Experientially based Sex coach

What is the function of a talk-based sex coach?

Similar to life coaching, in talk-based sex coaching the client comes to the coach with a problem.

You as a coach can help the client in figuring out what steps they can take to solve their problems. You can ask the client to fill out an intake form. Then they will meet in-person, over the phone, or on video call for an initial session.

By this time, you and the client will be ready to work together to get the solution to the problem. You have to develop a coaching plan with steps to address the issue.

At every meeting, your clients can give you an update about which parts of the plan they have accomplished and where they are still stuck. You should help your clients in this coaching program so that they are committed to continuing the plan.

Topics that you should discuss are- sexual identity, sex addiction, sexual abuse, sex and aging, open relationships, communication skills, gender identity, sex in long-term relationships, sexual dysfunction and so on.

You have to offer tasks to do outside of the session with partners or potential partners.

Suggestions should be given to couples such as watching a video and practicing the kinds of sensual touch they see in it.

Sex coaches help clients to speak to family, friends, or loved ones about who they truly are. Sex coaches do not typically have physical contact beyond hugs or handshakes.

So what does a talk sex coach do?

·!– /wp:paragraph –>

·       Talk through the potential approaches

·       Make a sex coaching plan

·       Offer emotional support and suggestions

·       Help to keep the client motivated around their goals

What are the functions of an experiential or hands-on sex coach?

Experiential, hands-on sex coaching is where the sex coach takes some more interactive

approach, guides their client through exercises to help them feel comfortable with their body, their sexuality, and their intimacy.

I think when you plan to be an experiential sex coach, then just talking will not be enough to solve the issues of your clients. You have to teach your clients the art of touch.

The art of touch can help your clients to understand the key points of their sexual problems.

You have to guide them on how to touch. You have to connect in a more sensual way.

So what does an experientially based sex coach do?

·       Identify sex coaching goals- You need to find out what your client wants

·       Talk via potential approaches to resolve challenges

·       Make a sex coaching plan with practical steps for implementation

·       Offer emotional support and suggestions

·       Offer some new tools and skills to expand on the current skill set. For example share

videos, tools for meditation

·       Give great opportunities for hands-on practice of new techniques

·       Offer real-time feedback

·       Keep motivating

Who needs a sex coach?

·       Couples who are deeply in love want to fulfill their sexual desires. Sometimes they are confused about how to infuse more passion into their busy lives. They want to know how to connect deeply. You can use a few techniques like playfulness, affection, and touch to guide your clients.

·       Young adults, they are eager to reintroduce sexual spark into their relationship. In such cases, it is necessary to find sexual passions. You have to help them to derive those passions and fulfill them.

·       Couples who are mismatched libidos also face problems in their sex lives. You have to teach them ways to increase intimacy levels, share desires and give a demo of how to satisfy each other. They also need the right guidance.

·       Next on the list is busy new parents. Due to the demand of baby caring and running a house, their intimacy takes a back seat. What guidance a sex coach should give them? Firstly, you have to remove their guilt of not able to nurture their love life. Later you have to take small steps to bring their intimacy back.

·       Women who don’t experience orgasm or intercourse pain. As a sex coach, you have to share about female pleasure anatomy. You have to answer questions like- how she should nurture her body to gain pleasure? How her partner should support? How they should find deeper pleasure? They don’t require treatment but a coach who could guide well.

·       Other people who need sex coach are couples timid in communicating openly, people, who struggle to get pleasure through sex, single woman with limited sexual experience.

Top qualities you should

have to be an expert sex coach

What personality traits you as an expert coach must possess?

Highly accepting and non-judgmental

People with sexuality problems do not share their problems due to shame. Thus, you should be non-judgemental and make your clients comfortable. You will meet people from various backgrounds with a variety of needs and desires. Will you say no or accept them with open arms? Of course, being a sex coach you need to understand their needs and accept the way clients are.

Emotional connect

You will meet clients who need emotional support. This is because they face emotional pain. Do you have clients who have sexual trauma? Just try to connect with them emotionally it will help you to heal their problems.

Motivate your clients

What do clients need? As per my experience, they need assurance and motivation. Ask your clients to celebrate when they achieve their set goals. Constant motivation can help your clients to improve their sex lives.

Listening skills

Do you think your job is just to give feedback? No. You can give feedback only when you listen to your clients properly. I had clients who felt shy about sharing their personal problems. I made my client comfortable and motivated them to share their problems by being a patient listener.

Understanding human nature in depth

Humans are complex. Do you agree? Things become more complex when you deal with emotions or sexual cravings. For an expert in sex coaching, you should understand human behavior. Get answers to questions like what makes them feel that sexual need? Why they can’t live without such desires? This will help you to connect with your clients.
