Summary

This study looks at whether a special type of sexual counseling (called the EX-PLISSIT model) can improve sexual function, marital happiness, and quality of sexual life for postmenopausal women. About 86 women who are sexually active and have low sexual function scores will take part. The goal is to see if this counseling helps them feel better about their sexual health and relationships.
