The experimental group underwent 10 sessions of 60 minutes of sex therapy; but during this period, the control group did not receive any intervention. The research tools were Vaziri and Kashani's sexual self-efficacy questionnaire (1999), Vondenbroek and Bertman's marital intimacy questionnaire (1995) and Rosen et al.'s sexual performance questionnaire (2000). The data were analyzed by univariate analysis of covariance in SPSS software version 21.

Sex therapy intervention significantly increased sexual self-efficacy (F=10.622, P=0.003) and marital intimacy (F=14.959, P=0.001) in couples with sexual dysfunction.
