Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The sexual history is an important aspect of the assessment but the questions can be embar-rassing. It is suggested that the interview begin with the least awkward topic and then work-ing toward more difficult and personal topics. There is no proof that the remaining options are true.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Research as shown that in longer-term relationships, women did not initiate sex as often; the desire for sex was generated after they were aroused accounting for this woman's apparent lack of sexual interest. The remaining options are not directly related to sexual interest.
