Abstract:
Functional coital impotence is not exclusive to men. It also occurs in two groups of women: those suffering from vaginismus and those with depressive episodes that give rise to a partner-specific sexual phobia. The latter syndrome is by no means uncommon, yet it has not so far attracted the attention it deserves. This neglect may be largely due to the emotional complications which ensue from it and camouflage its depressive-phobic background. It can be amenable to psychotherapeutic measures combined with antidepressant medication.
