Ive always wondered about this. I mean I know they are human and do human things like their clients do, but seriously why do I always think about this at some point when I see my T?! Ts really have a sex life!

I'm sure that some do and some don't, just like it is with everybody else. Some people have sex lives, some people don't. It's not exactly a recipe for happiness (or unhappiness), it's just a bodily function.
It is not something that I would be curious about, but if you wonder about it I don't think there's anything weird about that.

I cannot imagine why a therapist would not have a sex life of some sort.

But in all honesty I also don't care one way or the other. I don't find I wonder much one way or the other about any stranger's sex life.

For any of the myriad reasons that any other person would not have a sex life of some sort

I'm sorry, I just don't find it interesting or relevant to me, so I should stay out of the discussion.

I guess she does she is young and married, but I cant and wont go there, with curiosity, thoughts. Imagination, or otherwise, it would just overwhelm me lol.

The OP seemed to indicate surprise over the idea. I think most adults have some sort of sex life whether with a partner or not. Certainly not all people do, but I believe a majority of people do. As I consider therapists to be ordinary, I don't know why the usual therapist would be different from the usual anyone else.

I don't want to think of Ts sex life - it's like thinking of your parents.... Ick.

I consider therapists to be normal, too, and I don't think that it is possible to know what most normal adults do, or don't. So I don't see why one would assume that it is possible to deduce the state of their sex life, without asking them (which I think would be inappropriate).

It appears we have a difference of what is usual. I believe it is usual to have some sort of sex life. You don't appear to agree. Certainly, for me, believing some sort of sex life exists for most healthy adults, is very different than assessing or deducing the state of said sex life. It is all good.

He's married, so... yeah. I don't give it any thought, really. I'm not sure why it would matter.

Exactly, especially since I know that my current Therapist is married and has a 3 year old daughter, unless we happen to cross paths outside of Therapy her personal life is really none of my business.

Their sex life is no more our business then their religious life.

I think the question is WHY do you think about it?.....why do you feel that it's any of your business any more than any other aspect of their life?

I don't really think about it. I think about my T's hypothetical relationship but not sex in particular.

I agree. I don't know why I think about Ts sex life...I just casually get the thought in my head, its not something I fantasize over in details. Ew no.

My T doesn't because she ceases to exist after our sessions. She just disappears into the mysterious abyss along with all my secrets.

I certainly hope so, because I prefer to operate on the assumption that my Ts have great lives, are happy, and take care of themselves and those they love.

I just prefer not to think about details.
Thanks for this!
