CANCER'S EFFECTS ON SEXUAL WELLNESS AND STRATEGIES FOR ADDRESSING THESE EFFECTS
Background
Increasing numbers of cancer patients are surviving, and they and their partners often experience distress and dissatisfaction related to changes in their sexual functioning and relationships. This workshop will offer sexuality professionals and health care providers concrete strategies for addressing the concerns of cancer survivors and partners in order to support healthy and thriving intimacy after cancer.

Non-pharmacologic approaches to addressing common sexual dysfunctions: Learn when and how to recommend different types of lubricants, vibrators, dilators, pumps, erection rings and more
Background
The complex nature of sexuality and sexual function means that there are very few medications available to “treat” sexual concerns. This webinar will offer a variety of options for addressing the physiologic and cognitive reasons for the most common sexual dysfunctions using an integrative approach that utilizes education and easily available products. We will dive deeply into the distinguishing features of lubricants, vibrators, erection rings, pumps, dilators and more, so that participants can confidently make effective recommendations.
Objectives
Identify the types of common sexual dysfunction that can be addressed through the use of commonly-available sexual health products.
Participants will be able to describe to someone how to choose appropriate lubricants for different situations, appropriate vibrators for different needs, and appropriate erectile aids for different situations.

ETHICAL PORN FOR DICKS: THE CLINICIAN’S GUIDE TO ENCOURAGING RESPONSIBLE PORN USE
Background
A growing body of research is identifying that a majority of the people struggling to manage their use of Internet pornography, are people with strong religious values towards sex. Many people who’ve grown up in conservative religious environments have received little education or understanding regarding their sexual feelings, and often feel overwhelmed by the level of sexual material readily available on the Internet. Religious participation is a protective factor from drug/alcohol problems, but poses a risk factor for people to feel overwhelmed, ashamed and frightened of their own sexual desires and behaviors. Therapists can be most effective by helping these patients to examine and resolve the conflict between their sexual values and their sexual choices. In this talk, Dr. Ley reviews the most recent research on the intersection between religious values and problematic porn use, to assist learners in better understanding these problems. Then, he uses his depth of experience and knowledge to help therapists begin to develop ways to assist patients in both understanding, and resolving these conflicts in a patient-centered, evidence-based, and sexuality-informed manner.
Objectives
Be able to apply recent research on religion and pornography use to their patient formulation, when patients present with porn-related problems;
Use a patient-centered strategy to assist patients in developing a better understanding of their feelings and attitudes towards their use of pornography;
Understand the ways in which these unresolved and unexamined conflicts contribute to feelings of shame, fear, lack of control, and depression;
Assist patients exploring ways to examine the conflicts between their use of pornography and their sexual values;
Support patients in developing an integration between their values for healthy, ethical and moral sex, with the sexual behaviors they choose to pursue.

Background
Most people say they want pleasure and closeness from sex, but during sex they typically focus on how they look, smell, and sound; obsess on what their partner is thinking; try to manage distracting thoughts & feelings; and most of all, attend to their performance.
That leads exactly to what so many people fear: sexual “dysfunctions” like erection, orgasm, or desire problems. Therapists and self-help books can make things worse, because they’re trying to improve “functioning”—which is exactly wrong. Better friction doesn’t give people what they really want from sex: a sense of relaxation, playfulness, self-acceptance, and connection. Erections and lubrication don’t guarantee desire or satisfaction. And so treating people’s genitalia is the wrong approach to enhancing their passion or pleasure.
Objectives
To describe how people make sex difficult for themselves
To describe how to help people enjoy sex more
To assess and discuss patients’ narratives about sex and their sexuality
