    • Significant improvements in orgasm frequency and sexual satisfaction were observed in the treatment group.
    • Patients reported more positive reactions to sexual behaviors, corroborated by clinical ratings.
    • Psychometric assessments (MMPI, IPAT, Symptom Check List) indicated significant positive changes.

    Conclusions:
