The way that we conceptualise sexual difficulties is always dependent on what we construe as ‘normal’ or ‘acceptable’ sexual functioning. Active female sexuality has historically been seen as more problematic and controversial than male (hetero)sexuality. Traditional models of sexual response have been often been based on male dominated paradigms of penile-vaginal sex and as such provide a limited basis for understanding the range of female sexuality. This article describes some of the limitations of traditional classification systems and some of the recent developments in our understanding of female sexual difficulties, are, I would argue, more helpful than others. However, it also acknowledges that we can never step outside of our own values and beliefs and invites the reader to consider the ways that we as clinicians conceptualise our work and the impact that this has on our clients.

Critical Sexology Critical sexology is a London-based, interdisciplinary seminar series for psychologists, psychoanalysts, medical doctors, literary and cultural studies scholars, philosophers, artists, lawyers and historians with a critical interest in the construction and management of gender and sexuality in the medical, discursive and cultural spheres. Established in 2002 by Iain Morland and Lih-Mei Liao, Critical Sexology has since held three seminars per year, with meetings taking place in central London. The seminar series is currently co-organised by Lisa Downing (Queen Mary, University of London) and myself. This introduction summarises some of the key points which came out the seminar held on February 15 2006 on sexual self-disclosure. This seminar was chaired by myself and included presentations from Professor Jeffrey Weeks, Professor Mandy Merck and Prof. Kathleen Ritter. This report will be followed by the presentation given by Kathleen Ritter and an interview between her and Darren Langdridge. Kathleen was funded by the Lesbian and Gay Psychology Section to attend and present at the seminar. Please see the critical sexology website for details of forthcoming seminars on female genital mutilation, health and harm, female embodiment and bisexuality.

A. Accoroni, R. Watson
In this article, the authors comment on some contemporary and old negative responses to Sexually Transmitted Infections as part of long-standing historical discourses, examined in an English context. They argue that the function of many of these is to quite literally keep people with sexually transmitted diseases at a distance and, therefore, reduce the anxiety disease evokes. These discourses are named as ‘Infection as retribution’ and ‘Sex as a source of societal contagion’ and often operate in alliance. The concept of ‘Othering’ is also used to illustrate the operation of these discourses in some Western societies since Biblical times. Their existence is discussed from the tale of Sodom and Gomorrah to the appearance of AIDS, through to the recent prosecutions for HIV transmission. Despite their existence, it is argued that these discourses can be challenged and attitudes positively influenced.
