Abstract
Although midwifery centres on the care given to women and their families as a result of a sexual act between two people, current education and midwifery texts tend to only superficially acknowledge the importance of sexuality in the provision of that care. Issues surrounding sexuality and its relationship to midwifery practice will be explored in this article.Keywords
