Abstract
If we are to treat and to prevent sexual problems, we must recognize that they are universal and that we teach about sex by our own attitudes and by projecting the image of our own sexuality. As with all medical practice, we must weigh the risks versus the benefits in providing sex education, as well as in providing none at all. The dissemination of wholesome and appropriate knowledge about sex at all life stages in a spirit of honesty and by respected authority figures is discussed.Keywords
