MSTI Comprehensive Sexual History Intake Guide
A trauma-informed clinical workbook for assessing sexual health, intimacy, relationships, and treatment goals.
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.
What’s Included
This comprehensive guide includes:
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.
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.
Why This Guide Matters
Clients rarely bring their full sexual story into the room unless clinicians make it safe to do so.
This guide helps you ask better questions, reduce shame, normalize sexual inquiry, and understand the deeper relational, emotional, cultural, medical, and developmental factors shaping your client’s experience.
Whether you are new to sexual history-taking or looking to deepen your existing clinical framework, this resource gives you a clear place to begin — and a comprehensive structure to return to throughout treatment.

What Makes This Different
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.
