Accredited for 3 CPD Points (Psychology)
Sexual health concerns are likely to present to practicing psychologists due to their high prevalence and association to mental and physical health problems (and treatment thereof) in clients. The psychologist should be able to explore the emotional, relational, and other issues which might impact negatively on the clients’ sexuality; these may also affect other areas of the clients’ life. Therapeutic intervention entails that the psychologist must be able to work with individuals and couples in a variety of ways to improve their body image, self-esteem, and communication skills in order for their sex lives to be more fulfilling. However, the majority of psychologists do not receive training in this field. This lack of training affects the level of comfort and knowledge of the psychologist which may in turn affect the therapeutic relationship.
Changes to the HPCSA CPD Submission process
From the 1st of Feb 2022, CPD certificates for HPCSA delegates will no longer be needed / issued.
Service providers are required to complete a template after each activity and this will be sent through to the HPCSA by the service providers. The HPCSA will then capture the points on behalf of the delegates.
This new process will automatically upload the accredited CPD event/activity points to the HPCSA professional’s profile.
As I am sure you can imagine, this new process will have some teething problems. This process does alleviate the burden on the professionals to keep track of the CPD points and certificates and allows for automatic update of the CPD points directly to the HPCSA. This process further removes all administrative burdens from the health professionals and places all the administrative burdens on the service provider providing the CPD activity.
All discrepancies regarding point’s needs to be discussed with the service providers.
All service providers need to submit this information to the HPCSA “immediately” after a CPD event. In the case online activities with a MCQ component, the suggestion was that such information be submitted to the HPCSA once a month.

For a thorough list of terminology about sexual and gender minorities, please reference the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion’s LGBTI-SafeZone Terminology page .
Bisexual people have the potential to be emotionally, romantically, or sexually attracted to people of the same and different gender—not necessarily at the same time, in the same way, or to the same degree.
A cisgender person is someone whose gender identity aligns with the sex assigned to them at birth; sometimes abbreviated as cis . Use cisgender first with cis in parentheses after it if you use the abbreviation in your writing.
Gender refers to socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and/or attributes that a given society associates with being a woman, man, girl, or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time.
Use the terms above rather than the terms transgendering, sex change, the surgery, or pre-operative/post-operative. Gender affirmation and transition define the interpersonal, interactive process where a person receives social recognition and support for their gender identity and expression. This process can but does not necessarily involve medical intervention, which can include hormone therapy and one or more surgeries to affirm one’s gender. Pre-/post-operative may still be used in medical literature but should not be applied to a specific person without their consent.
Gender expression is how one chooses to convey one’s gender identity through behavior, clothing, and other external characteristics.
An individual’s sense of being a man, woman, boy, girl, genderqueer, nonbinary, etc. This identity is not necessarily visible to others.
A person whose gender expression is not consistent with the societal or cultural norms expected of that gender.
Intersex is a general term used to refer to individuals born with, or who develop naturally in puberty, biological sex characteristics that are not typically male or female. Never use the term hermaphrodite . Differences in sex development (DSD) is an inclusive umbrella term; some people with DSD identify as intersex.
LGBTQIA+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual. The plus sign includes other members of the community, such as genderfluid, nonbinary, or two-spirit, among others.
Use LGBTQIA+ when writing about the community outside of research contexts, e.g., community engagement or Pride. Use sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations when referring to health research and policy.
To misgender is to refer to someone, especially a transgender or gender diverse person, using a word or address that does not correctly reflect their gender identity.
A nonbinary person identifies outside of a gender binary by seeing themselves as neither a man nor or woman. Nonbinary people are part of the trans community.
Use pronouns that correspond to a person’s gender identity. Because gender identity is an internal characteristic that should not be assumed, asking for a person’s pronouns is the best practice. In addition to the binary English pronouns she/her and he/his , some people may use nonbinary pronouns, including the pronouns they/them used as singular terms, among others. When using the singular they , still conjugate the verb as a plural, as in, “they are gender nonbinary.”
When writing about a hypothetical person, like an anonymous participant in a study enrolling people of all genders, use the singular they rather than he or she .
The term queer is more fluid and inclusive than traditional categories for sexual orientation and gender identity. Once considered a pejorative term, queer has been reclaimed by some LGBTQIA+ people to describe themselves; however, it is not a universally accepted term even within the LGBTQIA+ community. People who identify as queer may think of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity as characterized by nonbinary constructs of sexual orientation, gender, and/or sex. Queer should only be used to describe members of the community who themselves identify with it.
A biological category based on reproductive, anatomical, and genetic characteristics, generally defined as male, female, and intersex.
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations include, but are not limited to, individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, transgender, Two-Spirit, queer, and/or intersex. Individuals with same-sex or -gender attractions or behaviors and those with a difference in sex development are also included. These populations also encompass those who do not self-identify with one of these terms but whose sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or reproductive development is characterized by non-binary constructs of sexual orientation, gender, and/or sex.
Use sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations as a broad, umbrella term when referring to LGBTQIA+ communities as a singular population in the context of health research, related activities, and policy. Use LGBTQIA+ when identity is important (e.g., community engagement, Pride messaging). When writing about a specific research project or study, always use the population terms identified and defined by the investigators for that study. For example, a study could be examining outcomes among sexual minority women, while another may look at LGB people. In these instances, using SGM populations or LGBTQIA+ would not be appropriate. For more information, see the Sexual and Gender Research Minority Office’s website .
Use sexual orientation rather than sexual preference . Preference suggests that non-heterosexuality is a choice, a concept often used to discriminate against the LGBTQIA+ community. Preference also suggests a selection from two or more choices, excluding bisexual people and pansexual people, among others.
AP Stylebook: Transgender Coverage Topical Guide (link is external)
A transgender person is someone who identifies with a gender other than the one that was assigned to them at birth. Use the term transgender or trans and not transgendered . Transgendered is a dated term that suggests a point in time when a person “became” transgender, which diverges from the lived experiences of most transgender people. Trans is an adjective that helps describe someone's gender identity, and it should be treated like other adjectives (e.g., trans man, trans woman ). Merging the adjective and the noun risks suggesting that a trans man or woman is more (or less) than just a man or just a woman, which goes against how many trans people identify themselves.
A person who identifies as having both a masculine and a feminine spirit and is used by some Indigenous people to describe their sexual, gender, and/or spiritual identity. Traditionally, American Indian two-spirit people were male, female, and sometimes individuals with intersex traits who combined activities of both men and women, with traits unique to their status as two-spirit people; they occupied a distinct, alternative gender status.
Various spellings of Two Spirit exist, including uppercase, lowercase, and hyphenated or with a number (e.g. 2Spirit, Two Spirit, two-spirit ). 2S is the most common abbreviation. Consensus on spelling isn’t set, but Two Spirit is most frequently used.

Better conversations begin with better data.

Our public agencies don’t gather robust data on trends in sex, dating & relationships currently, so NORMAL surveys a representative sample of over 1,000 Australians each year to fill the ‘sex data gap’.

In a year when so much has changed, from the movement to improve consent education to the ending of a global pandemic, this survey takes a deeper look at how these trends are shaping our lives.

This report presents some of the most interesting findings on 10 themes that stood out to us this year: from education to erotica, and libido to LGBTQ+ experiences.

But this truly is just the tip of the iceberg! If you’d like to enquire about any of the topics covered in the survey, or make bespoke requests for media or policy purposes, feel free to get in touch using the details at the end of the survey.

The orgasm gap is finally starting to close

3 in 5 Australians (61%) ‘always’ or ‘almost always’ orgasm during partnered sex, while 1 in 5 of us say we ‘rarely’ or ‘never’ orgasm - but pleasure is not equally distributed, especially when it comes to a phenomenon known as the ‘gender orgasm gap’.

However, for the first time, we’ve seen a sharp fall in the size of the gender orgasm gap - with the gap betweem female-identifying* & male-identifying* respondents closing by a quarter in a year.

Of course, gender is only one form of orgasm gap: there are many other factors, identities and experiences that are correlated with our experiences in partnered sex.

Just 38% of respondents rated themselves as confident in sharing their desires & preferences with partners - and this communication gap contributes to the orgasm gap.

Females, non-binary people, people raised in conservative environments, neurodivergent people & people living with a mental illness are less confident than average sharing their desires.

Males, people raised in progressive environments, and people living with a physical disability are more confident than average sharing their desires.

Last year’s survey also found that a large ‘masturbation gap’ connected to the gender orgasm gap, with males masturbating more than 2X as much as females. This year, we investigated the connection between masturbation & pleasure with partners more.

However, orgasms aren’t everything: rates of overall satisfaction with our sex lives are nearly 6X lower than the rate of people who frequently orgasm.

Being ‘orgasm-centric’ can sometimes exacerbate sexual dysfunction & concerns - as well as creating pressure to engage in practices like orgasm faking.

Orgasm faking can be a short-term solution to issues which require communication, experimentation & potentially professional support. 42% of respondents said they had faked orgasms, with the top reasons being ‘wanting to provide positive reinforcement’, ‘wanting sex to end’ and ‘avoiding talk about it because my partner wasn’t able to get me there’.

It’s the year of the clit, but who is being left behind?

Clitoral stimulation is the most likely to produce orgasms for people with vulvas - and it turns out Australians are most comfortable identifying & bringing pleasure to the clitoris!
This is a huge milestone given the full structure of the clitoris was only mapped with an MRI in 2005 (by Australian urologist Professor Helen O’Connell).

Which body parts are you confident identifying and bringing pleasure to?

On average, we have a higher level of understanding of anatomy for people with vulvas than for people with penises. The only group who were an exception to this were LGBTQ+ people with penises.

This raises the question: has the sexual wellness movement left people with penises behind?

Anxieties about genitals are also common, with 1 in 5 people expressing concerns in this area

Australians also have wildly different (and heteronormative) definitions of what ‘sex’ is

Low libido is the new normal post-Covid

During Covid, there was a bifurcation in the impact of lockdowns and uncertainty on sexuality: some people ‘thrived’, while others struggled with low libido and just ‘survived’.
A year on, low libido appears to be a lingering impact of the pandemic, replacing ‘body image making it hard to enjoy sex’ as the biggest sexual issue for Australians.

Low libido is a consistent top issue across the board, with body image & mental health-related concerns also common
