A Feminist Revision of Contemporary Sex Therapy

Marianne Keystone

Marsha T. Carolan

Michigan State University

This article critiques contemporary sex therapy from afeminist perspective. The long-held tenets of traditional sex therapy based on dysfunction and pathology, as reified in the DSM-IV, are called into question. Intercourse, orgasm, and erection as goals of contemporary sex therapy as well as the underlying presumption of compulsory heterosexuality are examined. At the center of the model are women and issues of gender recognizing that equity and power issues, particularly in heterosexual relationships, are central issues. Three case studies illustrate the feminist sex therapy model.
