ABSTRACT

One of the most challenging aspects of sexuality counseling is that the professional is constantly presented with something new. Clients bring up original situations, and almost every conference/book/workshop contains fresh issues, even for the well informed. In the most basic areas such as anatomy, research continues to reveal new knowledge. For instance, popular ob-gyn (obstetric-gynecology) textbooks of the 1940s stated that women were not capable of sexual pleasure, and yet by the 1980s publications abound on the role of the clitoris, vaginal sensitivity, and on multiple orgasms.
