A possibility to take the advantage of experience of other persons with a similar disorder is of particular value during the therapy. There is a positve correlation between the ability to experience sexual satisfaction and quality of social adaptation after SINC. The form, acceptance and efficiency of sexual education in persons after SINC are affected by cultural conditions.nces (SINC) is a difficult object of scientific investigations and is not as accurately described as sexual impairment in men after SINC.
