Sexual intimacy is an important part of romantic relationships. But sometimes, couples (or even an individual) can experience sexual dysfunction or issues — i.e. difficulty experiencing satisfaction during any stage of a normal sexual activity. It is said that more than 30% of men and women report some degree of sexual dysfunction.
Sexual Dysfunction
Sexual dysfunctions are generally classified into the following categories:
- Pain disorders — pain during sexual intercourse.
- Orgasm disorders — delay or absence of a climax during sexual intercourse (i.e. an orgasm).
- Arousal disorders — inability to get excited or become physically aroused during any sexual activity.
- Desire disorders — lack of interest in sex (i.e. little to no sexual desire).
Sexual dysfunction can happen to anyone at any point in life. It can affect any age, though it is more common in those over 40, mainly because it’s often related to other health issues associated with aging. However, sometimes sexual dysfunction can also have causes that aren’t due to underlying disease. These include stress, alcohol and substance abuse, and even relationship factors (such as poor communication and lack of trust). So, treatment of sexual dysfunction is absolutely necessary. And since sex is a physical, psychological and interpersonal event, the treatment should take account of all three aspects too.
