The aim of this book is twofold: to promote an awareness of
cultural differences in connection with sexual medicine among
health care providers, and to demonstrate how such differences are
relevant to the care and treatment of patients with sexual issues.
Individual sexuality represents the cumulative effects of
biological, psychological, and cultural influences. Yet much of the
study of sexuality-including issues ranging from sexual identity to
sexual response-has been conducted through a Western lens. Although
a substantial body of work in anthropology has taken up the study
of human sexuality from a cross-cultural perspective, two points
are notable. First, this work seldom crosses the desks of medical
and psychological health practitioners, and second, the relevance
of specific cultural differences is rarely apparent to the typical
sexual health practitioner. To address this situation, this book
adopts a global perspective, focusing on how cultural practices and
values can impact health care, treatment, and outcomes. In this
regard, it covers three broad domains: Sexual Identity and
Orientation; Sexual Response and Dysfunction; and Sexual Diversity.
Each chapter consists of two parts: a general description of the
relevant issues, and a discussion of how these issues can be
relevant to clinical practice. The book offers a valuable,
practical tool for specialists in sexual medicine and sexual
psychology, for sexual healthcare givers, and for sexological
researchers who want to better serve their patients by developing
an awareness of and sensitivity to cultural differences, and by
providing a framework for dealing with issues of sexuality and
sexual health that takes cultural values into consideration, while
adhering to best practices in patient care.
