In her doctoral research she scientifically demonstrated for the first time something that many women know from personal experience: sexual arousal makes penetration easier. And she developed a therapy for women with vaginismus that enabled all the participants to engage in sexual intercourse, later resulting in the birth of a number of long-wished-for babies. The … latex balloon that, positioned inside the vulva, could be gradually inflated with warm water. The women then watched either a sex video or a ‘neutral’ film to determine when they found the balloon pressure inside the vagina most pleasant.
