Abstract
This paper is aimed at practising clinicians and provides empirical data on the most common sexual variations, their assessment and treatment. Until recently the area was dominated by unsubstantiated theories and speculations. The empirical evidence with respect to the nature of sexual variations is growing rapidly and has been accompanied by the development of more sophisticated assessment methods and innovative treatment packages. However, the outcome of treatment studies is often difficult to evaluate and much more information is needed about the type of patients who benefit from different techniques, or a combination of techniques, and under what conditions treatment is most effective.Keywords
