Toronto sex therapist Rob Peach has launched a new report on the concept of erotic conflicts, a lesser known concept in sexual health that exists when an individual’s sexual desires, fantasies and behaviours are not necessarily in line with their personal values or beliefs. The report sets out tips people can employ if they are experiencing erotic conflict, and how they can use them to feel better about themselves.

Rob Peach is a registered social worker and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers, and has been interviewed for his expertise on sex therapy in a wide range of national and online media outlets. He prides himself on using sex therapy treatment to help people feel less alone with their worries and to develop a better understanding of why and how they have certain sexual thoughts, interests and ideas.
On his Sex Therapy Toronto website, Rob explains that his services can help people to develop effective skills and strategies to manage sexual urges rather than feel as though it’s the urges in control. He can also help people to feel more confident talking about their sexual struggles, which can often be a hard topic to discuss.
The erotic conflict report emphasises that the conflict may either be internal or external. Internal conflicts arise when people struggle in their own minds to make sense of what may seem inconsistent desires, while external conflict can cause strain in interpersonal or intimate relationships.
Rob Peach says that there are a number of ways people experiencing these conflicts can try to think differently about it. The first is that they can practice acceptance, and stop fighting what they find erotic. The second is to avoid either/or thinking, because seemingly inconsistent truths can exist in an individual even when they are at odds with one another. He also explains that people can shift their focus from what they find shameful about themselves to the choices they already make to give themselves a sense of pride and accomplishment.
