Description
Female Genital Cutting/Mutilation (FGC/M) can cause significant psychological and physiological barriers to sexual pleasure for both women and men. Our previous research found that people from FGC/M-affected communities in the UK believe this to be a common factor in marital breakdown. Participants reported extreme difficulty in talking to their partners about sexual pleasure and demonstrated contradicting beliefs and widespread confusion about medical ‘facts’ pertaining to desire, arousal and pleasure after FGC/M. This study will employ an experimental participatory approach to co-produce scripts for informative and educative ‘conversation starters’ for public dissemination, and awareness-raising outputs for health practitioners.
