Summary

This study tested whether a special type of sexual counseling, called the EX-PLISSIT model, could improve sexual quality of life, satisfaction, and perceptions in postmenopausal women. 74 women under 65 who were naturally postmenopausal and married took part. The counseling involved sessions focused on permission, information, and specific suggestions. The goal was to see if this approach helps women feel better about their sexuality during menopause.
