Furthermore, sexual satisfaction and relationship quality of life is also evidenced in many studies.

However, they did not find clinical trials that showed the effectiveness of CBT in Sexual Dysfunctions. This study aims to then fill this gap by evaluating the relationship from the use of techniques of CBT.
