3. NON CONSUMMATION

This presentation will examine the relationship between women's acceptance of their own anatomy and the clinical condition of non consummation of relationship. The lecturer will utilise case examples from 35 years of clinical experience in treating sexual dysfunction to describe women's feelings about their own bodies, those of their partner and the sexual act. The resultant vaginismus, apareunia and duspareunia are well known but the aversive aspects also need to be addressed.
