Method. We conducted a four round Delphi study. In the first round an open-ended questionnaire was distributed through Qualtrics among participant experts. Thematic analysis resulted in a statement list containing conditions for successful sex support and education. In the following three rounds participants were presented with structured Likert-scale questions, rating the relevance of each statement. Each question that reached consensus, was excluded from the questionnaire in the subsequent round.
