Psychotherapy

If your doctor doesn’t suspect that your high libido has a physical cause, they may recommend that you seek therapy or counseling.

Speaking with a therapist can help you uncover reasons that may be triggering your experience of high libido and help you learn techniques to manage it.

Therapy sessions can come in many forms, including one-on-one, family, or group. It’s up to you to decide what you’re most comfortable with when it comes to discussing your sex drive.
