Why the improved sex, though? Conventional medical wisdom holds that the causes of female sexual dysfunction vary and can include underlying physical issues (such as urinary tract infections or arthritis), hormonal changes (after childbirth or during menopause), and psychological concerns (such as untreated depression or anxiety, a history of sexual abuse, or chronic stress and fatigue). The success of the Wurn technique suggests another cause: adhesions. Adhesions are part of the body's inflammatory response to a trauma in the musculoskeletal system (for instance, they often occur after surgeries or other invasive procedures). An adhesion is internal scar tissue that forms at the point of trauma and helps heal the injury. But when the healing is done, the scar tissue remains and can cause problems such as abnormal bonds between other soft tissues and organs. It can also, the Wurns theorize, desensitize parts of the body that are prized for their sensitivity.

And it doesn't take much of a trauma, says Larry, for adhesions to develop. They can be caused by pelvic surgery, but also by vaginal infections, rough sex, or even simple falls.
The Wurn technique, which is an internal and external form of manual manipulation of the body's soft tissue and fascia (connective tissue), aims to break up these adhesions. This process, the Wurns believe, is what helps bring the pleasure back to sex. 'When we palpate inside at first, the G-spot often feels grainy or covered,' says Larry. After treatment, with the adhesions gone from this area, he continues, 'sensitivity returns and desire comes back.'
Clients, of course, don't often complain about this particular side effect. Sometimes, though, their newly left-in-the-dust partners do. Larry recalls the client who told them, 'My husband can't keep up with me! He likes it-only he's a little dismayed.'
