The author presents data and illustrative excerpts from 1,000 letters
relating to health and personal concerns that were sent to his column in a
college newspaper. There were 532 letters expressing sexual concerns, 65
percent of which raised questions about anatomy and physiology. A
comparison of the distribution of problems of sexual dysfunction in this
study with that of an earlier study involving older patients showed very
different distributions. The author points out the need for sex counseling
and education for young people who are sexually active and discusses the
unique problems involved in treating this population.Abstract Teaser
