title: The routine sexual history.
abstract: A routine, practiced and comfortable sexual history can elicit problems of personal adjustment. This format fits smoothly and logically into the rest of the medical history. It includes a numerical rating of personal satisfaction and the perceived satisfaction of the partner. On another occasion, similar questions are answered by the partner and the responses are assessed. Information and simple counseling are then provided and can be of significant help in the relationship.
