I think the first thing to ask yourself is, "do I want to add sexual arousal and satisfaction to my life?" Some people want to very much, but some do not, or are kind of neutral about it.. There are lots of reasons not to have interest in sex, from having received poor or abusive parenting, having been raped, to being exhausted by work and children. SSRI's are notorious for killing sex drive and ability to climax.
If someone wants to change, I think it helps most to include it as fully as possible in therapy sessions, but also, if possible, to go to a sexual dysfunction department at a medical center. They have many ways of helping people which the average gynecologist or urologist doesn't, and the combination of medical and psychological help can really be effective.
