Sexual history is one of the most clinically meaningful parts of therapy — and one of the areas many clinicians feel least prepared to explore.
The MSTI Comprehensive Sexual History Intake Guide gives clinicians a structured, inclusive, and clinically grounded framework for opening these conversations with care.
Designed for licensed clinicians, certified sex therapists, and trained mental health professionals, this downloadable workbook supports a thorough sexual history across the lifespan while helping you assess the many factors that shape sexual well-being, intimacy, identity, functioning, and treatment goals.
16 clinical domains covering sexual health, relationships, intimacy, trauma, identity, desire, reproductive experiences, body image, pornography and technology, kink and alternative relationship structures, out-of-control sexual behavior screening, and more.
100+ open-ended assessment questions designed to help clinicians explore client concerns with curiosity, sensitivity, and depth.
Clinical notes throughout to support pacing, sequencing, trauma-informed inquiry, and treatment planning. Also includes dedicated space for session notes so you can use the guide as a practical workbook during intake or early treatment.
A treatment planning summary to help identify key themes, areas for deeper exploration, client strengths, referrals, and next-session direction.

This is not a checklist of surface-level sex questions. The MSTI Comprehensive Sexual History Intake Guide is designed to help clinicians understand the client’s sexual self in context — including development, identity, shame, desire, pleasure, trauma, culture, relationships, medical factors, resilience, and goals. It invites deeper clinical inquiry while allowing you to move at the client’s pace.
