Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Teaching couples to schedule sexual experiences at agreed upon times will help them focus on sex at the same time. The other options although valid do not address the issue of the timing of mutual interest.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
All the options with the exception of the use of external relaxants to promote self-confidence are appropriate. Alcohol will provide a false sense of confidence and can negatively affect one's ability to perform sexually.
