摘要
Although the psychosocial and relationship aspects of female sexuality have been extensively investigated, studies concerning the anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of female sexual function and dysfunction are limited. The paucity of biologic data may be attributed to a lack of reliable experimental models and tools for investigating female sexual function and to limited funding, which is critical for developing experimental approaches.
