Abstract
Sexuality professionals (sexologists) often communicate from a broad perspective of sexuality based on unique
training. Cross-cultural code-switching is useful for sexologists to communicate with those who have different sexological
worldviews. We discuss the concept of cross-cultural code-switching and its usefulness for sexuality professionals. We consider
the theories behind the usefulness of this tactic in one’s work as a sexologist and offer practical considerations for effective
code-switching across cultures. We observe the power dynamics in code-switching and offer this theoretical work as a way to raise
one’s awareness to these realities of communication in the roles sexuality professionals hold in the world.
