Abstract

Sex is one of the central aspects of the human condition and one of the driving factors of our evolution as a species. It is a necessary element of midwifery because, aside from modern medical-assisted reproduction techniques, there will be no pregnancies without sex. Various publications have clarified that midwives need expertise—both skills and knowledge—concerning human sexuality. This chapter will broadly focus on how sex works and when sex is not working, both on an individual and couple level. Other chapters of this book will tackle sexuality and sexual health from a more biological, psychological or social perspective, concerning different parts of the midwife’s field of practice—from pre-conception to young parenthood. What makes sex work? Can we define parameters for promoting satisfying sexual experiences or understanding how sexual experiences can be disappointing or frustrating, e.g. when sex does not work? This chapter strives to go beyond the mere description of models of sexual response [1] and aims to outline a simple to use ‘3-Conditions Framework’, describing the necessary conditions that sexual experiences have to meet to be ‘good’. ‘Good’ meaning pleasant, satisfying, fulfilling, bonding, fun or whatever one wants it to be.
