Assessment of the Sexuality of the Infertile Couple

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study hypothesis is that infertile couples experience an impact of their sexuality impacted during the diagnostic process carried out as part of the medically assisted procreation assessment, and also by the announcement of the possible cause of the couple's infertility. It is also conceivable that a disorder of the couple's sexuality forms the origin of, or is a contributor to, infertility.
