title: The sexual difficulties of women.
abstract: Despite the fact that women are susceptible to experiencing a wide variety of sexual difficulties and complaints during their lifetime, it is also true that women are sexually resilient and are capable of satisfactory sexual response throughout their life cycle. Often, permission and reassurance, coupled with sensible suggestions are sufficient to overcome bothersome sexual difficulties. When this is not helpful, referral to a well-trained sexual or couples' therapist is indicated.
