【摘要】尽管性困难的患病率很高，但许多人从未寻求或接受过治疗。尽管有几项研究已经确定了在一般实践中寻求性困难帮助的障碍，但很少有研究评估性治疗特有的障碍。本研究旨在了解寻求性治疗师治疗性困难的障碍。共有27名19-53岁的个人参加了无主持结构化访谈。主题分析确定了五个主题：可及性和成本、伴侣参与、社会心理因素、对自己能力的信心以及感知到的严重程度。这项研究强调了对性治疗障碍的新见解，这些障碍阻碍了寻求性困难的帮助。

[Abstract] Despite a high prevalence of sexual difficulties, many individuals never seek or receive care. Although several studies have established barriers to help-seeking for sexual difficulties within general practice, few have assessed barriers specific to sex therapy. This study aimed to understand the barriers to seeking a sex therapist for sexual difficulties. A total of 27 individuals aged 19–53 participated in unmoderated structured interviews. Thematic analysis identified five themes: accessibility and cost, partner engagement, psychosocial factors, confidence in own abilities, and perceived severity. The study highlights new insights into barriers to sex therapy that preclude seeking help for sexual difficulties.
