title: [Sexuality--a taboo topic?].
abstract: Looking at the media one might believe there are no sexual taboos. On the contrary: People hardly discuss their own sexual experiences and behaviour. This applies in equal measure to day-to-day clinical and medical practice, although many studies definitely underline that patients do need information and counselling. The present contribution highlights a few fundamental aspects when treading on such delicate ground and provides helpful pointers.
