Could you have sex in front of a therapist?

Given the person there is there to observe in a clinical way, I think that would be distracting. I would be very self conscious about what I was doing knowing it would be evaluated and commented on. I guess I could do it but I don't think the sex would be all that great.

Wow, this is actually a fantasy of mine and I inquired with a few of the more non-traditional therapists in search of this at one point, but all I found were too far away.

Most likely I would not be able to do that in reality, at least not without something to get me really high and make me forget about inhibitions. However in some of my fantasies...I'm strapped while several men take turns at fucking me hard, while a group of doctors observe and take notes of what's going on during each sexual act.

Absolutely.

If there was any kind of sexual dysfunction, then yes, because I would want to fix it!

In terms of a fantasy, also yes. The idea of being watched is very arousing, regardless of who it is, but the clinical aspect of a therapist watching is even more enticing!

Oh sure, not a problem at all.

This question brought to mind a recent but different situation, that I had. It happened in Bangkok, Thailand, where a Mama-san called me on Saturday, and asked for a favor.

She had a new young lady she had hired, who had never had sex with a foreigner, and it was requested that I act as a teacher for this young lady. I was introduced to her, and as we were leaving to go to my place, the assistant to the Mamma-san jumped in the taxi to join us, so she could act as a translator if needed. After observing us in bed for a while, the "translator" took off her clothing and joined us in bed. Needless to say, Srithanonchai had a lot of fun, but little rest that evening.

Srithanoncl, aren't you just the world traveling stud puppy! I hope you wrapped your willie. Bangkok in the land where everything is 5 dolla GI Joe, special fa yu, come on, I virgin just fa yu GI Joe san, you might take her, or in your case them home for a night, but the gifts they give you will last a life time. If you get my drift srithanoncl san?

Mashie

Oh, and I am saying that with my tongue in my cheek, lol.

Mashie-san,

I lived and worked in Thailand for close to 20 years, and I remained clean. I am a good boy!!

Interesting question. When the Mrs and I were having trouble conceiving, I went a urologist for a sperm count. He told me that, if my sperm were satisfactory and our troubles continues, he would want to get the two of us together in his office to see if there was some physiological problem interfering with conception. Though he didn't say so, I imagined that that meant he would want to watch us in the act. That was a turn on for me (an inveterate exhibitionist).

If I was seeing a sex therapist and he/she asked to watch me masturbate to get a better understanding of my arousal or sexuality, I would totally do it! I'm not sure about doing it as a couple. If my partner was willing (That's the question) I would not hesitate. I think this would be exciting and memorable. And, it seems that a good therapist would gain a wealth of information from observing.

Hmmm ... I bet you're reading too much in that remark of his. Maybe he just wanted to see the two of you interacting on a social level, maybe to determine the power dynamic of your relationship, how you both interact or conduct yourselves around each other or other obvious outward signs that a couple no longer sees as being significant ...

I really doubt he'd want to watch.

I was having ED problems and went to a 'male clinic'. I am totally straight, but found it 'interesting' when two Doctors thoroughly examined my balls and penis, with ultrasound and lots of manipulations. They suggested injections. I looked down as the doctor held my penis and injected the fluid into the shaft. Then he pulled on it, back and forth, as though he were going to masturbate me. "This gets the medicine circulating" he said.

He then asked me to walk around the room and exercise to get my heart pumping. He left me there, naked from the waist down, to do just that...really felt strange, but I wanted results. After 10 minutes , he returned to look at my penis and feel it again. I had a partial erection."Do you think this would be sufficient for you to have intercourse" he asked. "No" I said, honestly. So, once again, with my penis in his hand, he injected me;

same routine, for 15 minutes. There was a large window with drawn blinds. On a whim, I opened them slightly. There were people passing by, and I thought, the idea of maybe being seen could encourage a larger erection. By the time the Doctor returned, I indeed was fully erect. He said "is you wife home?" I said yes. "I want you to go home and have intercourse with her and call me and tell me about it" Gotta tell you, it was HARD getting my penis into my pants. I was careful not to speed cause there was NO way to hide my gigantic boner!. I had my clothes off even before got inside the door good. Wife was waiting. ...she got more of me than she had had in a while, and was multi orgasmic. Now, I had the extra 'pleasure' of calling the Doctor and describing, in detail, our great sex...and, yes, if asked to perform in front of them, for clinical reasons, I think I would. As long as I thought it would really help.

I've been in threesomes and foursomes at swingers clubs, where we were in rooms where others could, and would, watch us. Sometimes as many as 10 people would be watching.

But, I've never been with someone in front of an observer in a professional setting. I think I'd be willing. I know of the sorts of studies conducted back in the days of Masters & Johnson, or Dr. Kinsey, where subjects were observed by professionals, but in all my years of being a participant in medical studies, I've not found one like those, yet. That was before my time. I would certainly be interested in doing so, if I have such opportunity.

This reminds me about the elderly couple who went to see a sexual therapist.

They complained things weren't as good in the bedroom as they could be so the husband, wife and therapist had a lengthy consultation at the first visit. The therapist suggested that at the next visit they have sex at the therapist's office so they could be observed. After having sex at the office the therapist said he didn't see anything wrong, but suggested they make additional appointments for the following three weeks to make sure nothing was missed. At each appointment the husband got erect, the wife lubricated and they both had orgasms. The therapist asked them why they kept coming for these appointments when he saw no problems or dysfunctions.

The husband replied, "we're both exhibitionists, enjoy sex immensely and best of all, we discovered medicare would pay for the sessions!"

Now back to our regularly scheduled program. . . .

Oh, haven't you heard? Everything there was to know about sex, has already been discovered. Too late. 😃 😃 😃

I don't think it would phase me much. I would be indifferent as far as wanting to. Actually probably not, at least not at their place. One of the really nice things about having sex is curling up with the SO and falling asleep after the act and I doubt that would be possible in some doctors office. And if it was in a doctors office, it would be hard to not try and get them to join in. Hell, I had an EKG a while back and after she got done pulling the electrode off of me I had to bite my tongue to keep from getting up and saying "my turn".

I would love to have sex in front of a therapist or doctor, or even just be required to masturbate for one. I have an ex who might have been into it, but not my wife, not in a million years.

I would really love to be required to have intercourse with a stranger, either a woman who was receiving the same type of therapy as me, or with a nurse who had some special training in order to be able to administer that particular type of treatment.

It may sound odd, but I don't think I'd care to masturbate for a therapist or doctor, but I would really like to have sex in front of one. Not necessarily with my wife or partner, perhaps preferably with a stranger. I think I could relate to doing that in a sort of esthetic way, like giving a good performance on stage for an audience.

Though I probably wouldn't do a lot of the things I normally like to do.

I don’t think I could have sex in front of a therapist

I've had "doctors" insist I provide a semen sample and then stand there and wait until I produce one myself. It's embarrassing at first but as the fever mounts I begin to feel glad to have an audience and want to make sure I produce a good sample. It's strange and very exciting.

Another post that mentions Masters and Johnson reminds me that there are videos of the Male and Female Sexual Response where the subject lies on an ob-gyn type table and masturbates and the voice over tells us about the physiological changes that occur, as if we couldn't see them! Very clinical and objective but I wonder what it was like to be the subject.

Certainly sounds like a stretch of the norm between a close intimate couple. If it was going to have a good chance of improving or explaining whatever might seem to be lacking I suppose you do what you need to for the ones you love. Maybe the illusion of privacy by being blindfolded might help. The only problem is that might be a but uncoordinated... and if you are eager to both slip on a blindfold I'd hope that means you aren't having any issues with intimacy!

A bit on a tangent here, but has anyone else read 'the Voyeur Motel' by Gay Talese? Very intriguing and interesting, about a motel owner who installed ways to secretly watch the guests. The owner made it an almost full-time pastime and moreover kept notes of his observations of people having sex while they thought they were unobserved.

Naturally, what they did while they THOUGHT they were not observed, differed from what people do when they know they are being observed, like in a sex study or for a sex therapist.

Worth checking out if you have a voyeuristic streak in you.

I loaned the book out to two friends and they didn't see the scientific advantages of a situation like in the motel ... ha ha.

This is definitely one of my fantasies

Back in the 90's, there was a porno film ( can't remember the name ) that presented this exact scenario. Then-popular porn actress Hyapatia Lee played the therapist.

College days in the 80's... the Fundamentals of Human Sexuality course, though enrolling hundreds in every section, always had to turn people away for lack of space. I never took it, but I did have to laugh when the teaching assistant (a friend of mine) remarked that AV services kept deliberately sending a devout Muslim man as the projectionist when it was time to show "the sex films."

"Vivian" shook her head with a guilty smile as she mentioned that, though "Ahmet" wasn't supposed to be looking at such things, he would try to focus the projector without actually looking at the scenes of intercourse in full view of the camera.

Hearing that made me wonder what it was like to be in one of those couples, knowing that hundreds of thousands of people would be watching the sex in a nominally clinical setting.

Though I've never wanted to be a porn star, somehow that... or having sex in front of an attentive therapist, and having him/her see me as well as every inch of my partner, while it was happening... sounded incredibly sexy.

Kinsey may have gone overboard in several ways, but he and others of like mind had an unassailable point... Freud and many other therapists writing volumes about sex, without ever once having observed a real couple having sex. Illogical!

Slightly different maybe, but there was a time recently where I thought about visiting a “masturbation coach”. With the way my body, my genitals especially, is changing on hormones what I’ve done all my life just isn’t working any more. I would have to masturbate in front of them.

Honestly, the thought of doing that is one of the reasons I’d want to go too. I’ve had strangers watch me be restrained while a violet wand was used on before. The person who I was with knew them and it was a massive turn on. I’d kind of like to take that one step further.

No, I could not. I would not want to. That is a private act between two people.

Oh, I doubt it. Performance anxiety I suppose.

Hell! With as much porn as I watch .. I might be a sex therapist.
