The purpose of this study is to pilot test and determine the efficacy of a psychoeducational intervention (PED) we recently piloted in a group format for women with acquired sexual arousal disorder (FSAD). HYPOTHESES: 1. \- Compared to baseline measures, the PED will result in significant improvement in self-report measures of: (a) subjective sexual arousal; (b) perception of genital arousal/genital sensitivity; (c) orgasmic experience; (d) sexual desire; (e) sexual distress; (f) relationship satisfaction; (g) depressive symptoms; and (h) quality of life. 2. \- It is unknown what effect the PED will have on actual physiological sexual arousal. 3. \- The group format will be a feasible and cost-effective method of delivering empirically supported treatment to women with sexual arousal difficulties and will contribute towards meeting the needs for sexual health care for women on the clinic wait-list at the BC Centre for Sexual Medicine.
