(2) Anatomy and physiology education: Because sexuality education in the United States is inadequate, many women have fundamental misunderstandings about their sexual anatomy and its functioning. (3) Assertiveness training: women need to learn to be assertive in asking a partner for what they need in a sexual interaction. (4) Body image reclamation: women need to make a substantial shift away from seeing their bodies as objects to be evaluated to seeing their bodies as sources of sensations and competencies. (5) Masturbation education: many women do not masturbate and some do not even know about masturbation. Masturbation education has proven to be successful in sex therapy for women.
