Abstract
The work of Masters and Johnson has tremendously stimulated an interest in and understanding of human sexuality. These authors have discredited certain myths and erroneous notions about sexual problems, their causes and treatment. More and more couples are turning to their physicians for advice and treatment for sexual problems, but doctors are often in the uncomfortable position of being considered experts, when in fact they have little or no training in this field. For patient and doctor alike, this is an untenable situation which medical educators are only beginning to recognize and remedy.Keywords
