Sexual Dysfunction

 

What is a sexual dysfunction?

 

A sexual dysfunction is a disruption of a normal sexual functioning. It often creates misunderstading, frustration and shame in individuals. Sexual dysfunctions consist in sexual desire disorders, sexual arousal problems, orgasm problems and sexual pain disorders.

 

Sexual desire disorders

 

·        Lack of sexual desire : see the section sexual desire

·        Sexual aversion : persistant and repetitive extreme aversion and avoidance of any sexual contact

 

Sexual arousal problems

 

·        Female sexual arousal problems : persistant and repetitive incapacity to obtain and maintain an adequate lubrication until the end of the sexual act

·        Erection difficulties : persistant and repetitive incapacity to obtain and maintain an adequate erection until the end of the sexual act

 

Orgasmic problems

 

·        Male and female orgasm problems : the orgasm is absent or delayed after a normal phase of sexual arousal

·        There exist two types of female sexual orgasms : with the clitoris and the vagina. Some women have both and others have only one. Women are usually unsatisfied of having only clitoridien orgasms, although it is not abnormal. However, for those who wish to obtain both, some sexual therapy might be of some help.

·        Premature ejaculation : the ejaculation happens too soon compared to what was expected. However, you have to be careful in having realistic expectations.
