Sounds so medical, doesn’t it? Sexual Dysfunction(SD). The reality is many of us suffer from some kind of emotional charged Sexual Dysfunction and it refers to a problem occurring during any phase of the sexual response cycle that prevents the individual or couple from experiencing satisfaction from the sexual activity. The sexual response cycle traditionally includes excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution.
In the first instance, ALWAYS consult your doctor/physician, this is to ensure any physiological reason for the dysfunction is ruled out. Once this is done then we can look at the psychological/emotional reasons for the problem.
According to the NHS, it is estimated that one in 10 men and almost 50% of women are affected by a sexual problem. Sexual difficulties can occur early in an individual’s life, develop suddenly after a previously satisfying sex life or develop gradually.
Common problems in men include:
Erectile dysfunction (difficulty getting/keeping an erection)
Premature ejaculation (reaching orgasm too quickly)
Delayed or inhibited ejaculation (reaching orgasm too slowly or not at all)
Low libido (reduced interest in sex)
Common Problems in women include:
Low sexual desire. This most common of female sexual dysfunctions involves a lack of sexual interest and willingness to be sexual.
Sexual arousal disorder. Your desire for sex might be intact, but you have difficulty with arousal or are unable to become aroused or maintain arousal during sexual activity.
Orgasmic disorder. You have persistent or recurrent difficulty in achieving orgasm after sufficient sexual arousal and ongoing stimulation.
Sexual pain disorder. You have pain associated with sexual stimulation or vaginal contact.
Emotional/Psychological causes might include:
Concern about sexual performance
Marital or relationship problems
Depression, feelings of guilt
Effects of past sexual trauma
Work-related stress and anxiety
