What Is the Sexual Tipping Point®?
Sexual concerns rarely arise from a single cause. The Sexual Tipping Point® Model offers a practical way to understand how biomedical, psychological, relational, and cultural factors interact—sometimes promoting and sometimes inhibiting sexual response. The Primer brings this framework to life through concise explanations, clinical examples, illustrations, and contributions from specialists across sexual medicine and sex therapy.
