Sex, Love & Intimate Relationships
by Robert Firestone
This compelling film explores three fundamental questions: “What is healthy sexuality?” “What is love?” and “Why do so many men and women find it difficult to sustain closeness, sexuality and love in their intimate relationships?”
Although sexuality is one of the greatest pleasures in life and an opportunity for gratification and fulfillment, it can be complex, difficult, and sometimes even traumatic. Men and women are often confused about themselves as sexual beings and are vulnerable to distorted self-perceptions and destructive internal voices that have been incorporated during their developmental years.

Dr. Robert Firestone describes early childhood experiences and societal influences that impact an individual’s emerging sexuality. These concepts are vividly brought to life as actual couples explore their sexual and relational dynamics, and identify destructive thoughts and critical voices that often occur before, during or after a sexual experience. Finally, the film introduces clinicians to Voice Therapy, a powerful approach that they can use to help clients challenge the voices that interfere with healthy sexual relating and sustain a relationship that combines true intimacy and sexuality.
