ANS: D
The expected outcome of sensate focus exercises is to reduce goal-oriented demands of intercourse. Sensate focus exercises consist of touching and being touched by another with attention focused on the physical sensations encountered. Erotic contact is gradually increased, leading to the possibility of sexual intercourse. The reduction in demands reduces performance pressures and anxiety associated with possible failure.
