Abstract
So far we have looked at problems presented by patients in primary care which most doctors would recognize as being within the primary care remit. Patients present in surgery and the doctor does not have any idea what is expected from the consultation until it unfolds. It is not possible to avoid encounters with patients who have queries about normal sexual feelings in parent-child interactions, who have sexual difficulties, or who have complaints of present or prior sexual abuse.
