A Magical Key to Female Sexual Dysfunction, Sexual Counseling/Kadin Cinsel Disfonksiyonunda Sihirli Bir Anahtar: Cinsel Danismanlik

This study aimed to express the steps, importance, and benefits of sexual counseling given to women with sexual problems. Sexuality is a complicated process that is shaped by the interaction of many emotional, mental, and behavioral elements. Having a sexual relationship and being able to do it without any problems is an important aspect that affects women's quality of life. Studies on sexuality have improved rapidly within the last 20 years. However, due to such factors as condemnation, shyness, unawareness, misbeliefs, or limited opportunities, women with sexual problems may still fail to find solutions to their problems. Sexual counseling is the assistance provided to clients and couples to eliminate a lack of knowledge, correct wrong information and beliefs, and informing them about sexual myths. Sexual counseling helps women to overcome the problems that they perceive unsolvable and to live sexuality freely.
