The Influence of Religion on Sexuality: Implications for Sex Therapy
Abstract
Religious beliefs are among the many factors that determine whether sexually dysfunctional persons will seek out a sex therapist. These beliefs may also generate resistance to therapy or influence patients to drop out of treatment before it is complete. Therapists who are sensitive to patients' religious beliefs enhance the likelihood of a successful treatment process. The authors present six case examples from their practice in which religious beliefs played an important role. They urge sex therapists to become more aware of the religious dynamic and to help address the paucity of clinical case material in the literature.

As noted by Simpson and Ramberg (1992:155), there is a 'striking link between a highly religious upbringing and sexual dysfunctioning' which results in resistance to sex therapy.
“Firstly, as noted by Simpson and Ramberg (1992:155), there is a 'striking link between a highly religious upbringing and sexual dysfunctioning' which results in resistance to sex therapy, with sex therapy, or at least sex-positive therapy, being the major treatment for female sexual pain and its related psychological trauma.”

As Simpson and Ramberg (1992:156) observe, the fault lies in the 'severely antisexual attitude forced on the child rather than with the religious beliefs per se'.
“It must be noted though, as Simpson and Ramberg (1992:156) observe, that the fault lies in the 'severely antisexual attitude forced on the child rather than with the religious beliefs per se'.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
