title: Helping the middle aged couple with sexual problems.
abstract: A behavioral approach developed by Jack Annon for brief sexual counselling and described here, is recommended for use by family physicians. The effects of aging on male and female sexuality sometimes result in sexual problems if patients are unaware that these effects are normal. Permission to use pleasuring (masturbation) as a therapeutic tool often must be given to those who feel guilty about it. Counselling is often necessary to avoid sexual problems resulting from surgery and illness in middle age. Given average good health and the right partner, sex in middle and old age can still be fun.
