Which article are you evaluating?
Sex therapy

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because there is a stigma with both sex, and therapy as individual topics and more so with them combined. It matters because sex is an important human experience for many people and having a safe space to get help with it is extremely valuable and important. My preliminary impression of it was that it was extremely interesting, but I wish there had been more information included.

Evaluate the article
Such an important topic in this article and one that absolutely needs to be talked about more in society. I would have liked to see more information in some areas that I think would have been useful, and overall, more mention of female symptoms and dysfunctions. I'm going to go section by section for the sake of ease and organization.


 * First paragraph
 * Inclusion of vaginal lubrication in the list of different dysfunctions
 * Inclusion of low libido or hyposexuality in the second part of the second sentence
 * Inclusion of culture and religion in last part
 * Practice
 * Inclusion of medications that help female sexual dysfunctions in the first paragraph- Or possibly moving that information into the section regarding Symptoms.
 * Inclusion of female sexual dysfunction in second paragraph as another example of somatic or psychogenic bases
 * Symptoms
 * This section has some great information, but I feel could benefit from it being separated into two or three sections, or for it to be a combined section with more information on the various symptoms, causes behind them, and the different treatment options.
 * The second paragraph in this section while important, doesn't really fit in with the Symptoms heading, and I feel might do better in the previous section regarding Practice.
 * Aging and Sexuality
 * I really loved that an entire section was included specifically for older adults.
 * When I first read the article, I felt that it was missing a section on younger adults since there was a subsection dedicated specifically for older adults. Don't know if another one needs to be added dedicated to younger adults or if the subsection could be done away with and that information be added with the rest of the main Aging and sexuality heading.
 * This sentence was a little confusing- "These physical changes often affect the intensity of youthful sex and may give way to more subdued responses during middle and later life."
 * The way it is worded makes it seem as though the changes older adults experience also somehow had an effect on their younger lives. Maybe it can be reworded something like "After the intensity of youthful sex, the physical changes that adults face as they age may give way to more subdued responses during their middle and later years."
 * History
 * Adding more about the origins of sex therapy would have been very interesting to read, especially to see just how much progress has been made since then, leading up to what know about sex therapy today.
