The doctor knows that couples are often unable to discuss their difficulties together, and will help you do so. Everything you say will be taken into confidence. Doctors (whether married or unmarried) or couples with the person will thus allow you to discuss these topics comfortably so that the doctor can work on finding solutions. Sexual counseling sessions are completely confidential.
