THE SHEETS
Sexual Dysfunction is common; around 40% of women and 30% of men report some degree of difficulty. Though couples find it a taboo to discuss; because treatment options are available, it is important to share your concern with your partner or Doctor.
Couples have a choice. They can either focus on what's tearing them apart or what's holding them together.
