[Cafés Sexos, a new concept of public health].

Sexual blooming is a factor that contributes greatly to the quality of life and a general sense of well-being. Information, counseling, dedramatisation and a sense of humour are precious therapeutic tools in sexology. Welcome to our Cafés Sexos where words relieve taboos, fears, false or negative ideas, and traumas which prevent access to a healthy sexuality.

[Sexuality and incontinence].

Incontinence is anything that inhibits the expression of sexuality. Male problems like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunctions are forms of incontinence. The inability to retain ejaculation or maintain erection long enough to give pleasure to the partner generates feelings of shame and guilt which weaken virility.

[Investigation of sexual disorders].

It is not easy for physicians to investigate genuinely sexual problems because of our personal conceptions about sex related to our familial and religious upbringing. Lack of medical education or information and bad personal experiences inhibit us from speaking freely with our patients. And they, before daring to talk to us about a sexual problem, must already be suffering from severely handicapped relations.

[Why women consult sexologists: an approach for practicing physicians].

Female sexual dysfunctions are less known than male ones because women are more discrete and introverted. Female genitals are mostly internal and women live sex more cerebrally and sentimentally than men. Still half the patients my current sexological consultation are women.
