Randomization was performed using the rand function in Excel and R software. The intervention was conducted in six sessions for the first group, while the control group was placed on a waiting list for treatment and education after the study. The sample size of the study is 100 individuals, and random assignment of individuals to the two groups was done using Excel and R software version 4.0.3. Using the code [c(“a”, “b”), 100, replace = TRUE, prob = c(.5, .5)], the output generated random assignments such as “a”, “a”, “b”, “a”, etc. The first person was assigned to group “a”, the second person to group “b”, the third person to group “a”, and the fourth person to group “a”. This process was repeated until all 100 individuals were randomly assigned to the two groups of 50 individuals each. N/A Condition 1: Sexual dysfunction. Condition 2: The outcome of reducing risky sexual behaviors involves a decrease in the risk of sexually transmitted infections and negative consequences associated with such behaviors, such as unintended pregnancies. It also entails an increase in sexual safety awareness and knowledge about protective measures. Reducing risky sexual behaviors implies making smarter and more responsible choices in sexual relationships, utilizing contraception methods, and being aware of the risks associated with inappropriate sexual behaviors.Increasing sexual awareness can also have positive effects on sexual relationships and sexual satisfaction. Condition 3: The consequences of increasing sexual awareness are multifaceted and can have positive impacts on individuals and their sexual experiences. Here are some potential outcomes of increasing sexual awareness:1. Improved Sexual Satisfaction: By enhancing their understanding of their own bodies, desires, and preferences, individuals can experience increased sexual satisfaction. They become more aware of what brings them pleasure and are better able to communicate their needs to their partners.2. Enhanced Communication and Intimacy: Sexual awareness promotes open and effective communication about sexual desires, boundaries, and consent. This improved communication fosters a deeper sense of intimacy and trust in sexual relationships.3. Increased Sexual Health: Sexual awareness involves knowledge about safe sex practices, contraception methods, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). With increased awareness, individuals are more likely to engage in responsible sexual behavior, reducing the risk of STIs and unplanned pregnancies.4. Empowerment and Confidence: Understanding and accepting one's own sexuality can boost self-esteem and confidence. Increased sexual awareness allows individuals to embrace their desires without shame or guilt, leading to a healthier and more positive sexual self-image.5. Cultivation of Healthy Relationships: Sexual awareness encourages individuals to seek out and maintain healthy, consensual relationships. They become more attuned to their own needs and are better equipped to create mutually satisfying sexual experiences within a relationship.6. Prevention of Sexual Coercion and Abuse: With increased sexual awareness, individuals are more likely to recognize and resist situations involving sexual coercion or abuse. They become aware of their rights, boundaries, and the importance of enthusiastic consent.Overall, increasing sexual awareness can contribute to a more fulfilling and empowered sexual life, fostering healthier relationships and promoting personal well-being.
