Summary An educational procedure is described for increasing comfort and clinical objectiveness when interviewing patients with sexual problems. It is based on the viewing of sexually explicit films interspersed with small group discussions. Judging from questionnaires completed by 329 students in four British medical schools, most felt that the procedure had benefited them both personally and professionally, and that it provided a good foundation for a course in human sexuality.
