These earrings say something simple that we believe deeply: All bodies deserve pleasure.

They were made for our practice by my stepdaughter, and I wear them on many workdays as a small, visible reminder of why this work matters.

Pleasure is not a luxury, a performance, or something reserved for a particular age, body type, relationship, identity, or stage of life. For many people, it is part of connection, confidence, comfort, and feeling at home in their own body.

On World S*xual Health Day, we are proud to support conversations that make room for the full reality of s*xual well-being: questions, challenges, joy, intimacy, choice, comfort, and pleasure.

Every body deserves respectful care.
Every body deserves to be heard.
Every body deserves pleasure.

S*xual-health concerns are common. They are also often under-discussed.

Pain, dryness, changes in desire, difficulty with arousal or or**sm, er****on concerns, changes after cancer treatment, pelvic-floor symptoms, relationship stress, and medication-related s*xual side effects can all affect well-being and quality of life.

These concerns are not “too personal” for healthcare. They are healthcare.

If something has changed and it is affecting you, you deserve a clinician who will take the concern seriously, discuss options clearly, and work with you toward goals that make sense for your life.

S*xual health is not only about the body. It is also about communication, trust, choice, and respect.

Healthy relationships make room for ongoing consent, honest conversations, changing needs, personal boundaries, and the freedom to say yes, no, not now, or “I’m not sure.”

The best s*xual-health care starts by listening—without assumptions and without shame.

There is no single definition of a “normal” s*xual experience.

Desire, arousal, comfort, or**sm, intimacy, and interest in s*x can change throughout life. Those changes may be expected, treatable, meaningful, frustrating—or several of these things at once.

What matters is not whether your experience looks like someone else’s. What matters is whether it feels right for you, and whether you have access to accurate information and compassionate care when something is not working the way you would like.

You deserve a healthcare conversation that makes room for your questions, goals, boundaries, and quality of life.

World S*xual Health Day is September 4.

This year’s theme, Every Body, is a reminder that s*xual health belongs in conversations about whole-person health.

S*xual well-being can include comfort, desire, pleasure, intimacy, identity, relationships, function, information, and the freedom to make informed choices. It can also change over time—during menopause, after childbirth, with aging, illness, medication changes, stress, relationship shifts, and many other life experiences.

At Rochester Center for S*xual Wellness, we believe that concerns affecting s*xual health deserve thoughtful, evidence-based, judgment-free care.

Every body deserves to be heard. Every question deserves respect.

S*xual concerns are fundamentally biopsychosocial and multidimensional: biomedical, emotional, relational, cultural, and identity-based.

On October 7, Dr Kranz will be teaching S*xual Anatomy and Physiology Across Genders with the Integrative S*x Therapy Institute. This live, online training is for therapists who want a stronger, clinically useful foundation for understanding s*xual development, desire, arousal, or**sm, s*xual function, and s*xual distress across diverse bodies and identities.

We’ll focus on translating knowledge of anatomy and physiology into better case conceptualization, psychoeducation, medical referrals, and providing affirming therapy with clients of all genders.

October 7, 2026 | 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. ET | Live via Zoom

Big news: A new book co-edited by Daniel Rosen, LCSW, CST and Wendy Miller, PhD, CST -- Innovative Approaches to Out-of-Control S*xual Behavior: Beyond the S*x Addiction Paradigm-- comes out this fall! This forthcoming book brings together experienced clinicians and offers thoughtful, innovative approaches to understanding and treating out-of-control s*xual behavior in a more compassionate, clinically useful way.

“We love each other, but s*x just stopped happening.”
If you work with couples, you’ve probably heard some version of that line before.

A new paper in the Journal of S*xual Medicine looked at marital s*xual inactivity in the United States and Korea. In their study, about 15.6% of married couples in the U.S. report no s*xual activity.

You might assume this decrease in s*xual activity has to do with older age (and you wouldn't be wrong). But that's not all. Couples who spent more time communicating were less likely to report s*xual inactivity and higher family income was also linked to lower s*xual inactivity. Additionally, people with a more promotion-focused style — meaning a tendency toward growth, approach, and moving toward desired outcomes — were more likely to be s*xually engaged.

That feels clinically important to me. S*xual inactivity is rarely about one thing. Time, stress, communication, financial strain, and the broader emotional climate of the relationship all matter.

In other words: when s*x fades, the question is usually not “What’s wrong with this couple?” It’s “What’s been getting in the way?”

We’re so proud to celebrate Erin Davis as she transitions from clinical intern to staff clinician. Over the past year, Erin has been an extraordinary care coordinator and clinical intern — thoughtful, dedicated, and deeply compassionate in all she does. We’re especially grateful for her passion for working with s*xuality, s*xual trauma, and animal care professionals, and we’re excited to support her as she continues her training as a mental health counselor on the path to becoming a s*x therapist.

This next step is so well deserved, and we are honored to have Erin growing with our team.
