Treatment of sexual aversion is difficult, mainly because most men and women would rather not discuss sexuality and are resistant to seeking help. If they do seek help, the most common treatment involves discovering and resolving the underlying conflict. Generally, cognitive-behavioral therapy is most successful at helping to uncover the relationship issues or events from early childhood that contribute to the symptoms of sexual aversion. Treatment often includes goal setting and the completion of homework assignments, both individually and with a partner. It is important that therapy moves at the client’s pace and time is taken to work through his or her issues.
