To analyze the data, multivariate covariance test was used by SPSS software version 23. Result: The results of the analysis on the pre-test and post-test scores showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups of the test and control groups in the sexual function variables (P <0.05) and emotional expression (P<0.01).
