ABSTRACT
Sex therapists often think of themselves as social liberators, helping people move beyond restrictions and inhibitions created by the Judeo-Christian body/mind split, deprecation of women's sexuality, and preoccupation with procreation. Feminists also view themselves as social liberators, helping people move beyond restrictions and inhibitions embedded in gender roles and stereotypes and institutionalized in all parts of society. One might have expected that such compatibility of aims would have long ago produced a feminist sex therapy, yet no such program has emerged. Much of the reason lies in the many sexual subcommunities within feminism, each with its own ideas about sexual motives, choreographies, and norms.
