Everyone in the world will occasionally have problems with sexual interest or response throughout their life. Men can have difficulty getting and erection or ejaculating too soon. And women can have problems getting sexually aroused or not reaching orgasm. When these problems stick around and cause stress for the person, they have a psychological disorder called sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunctions affect 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men some time in their life.
There are three kind of sexual disorders. Those are sexual desire disorders, sexual arousal disorders, and orgasmic disorders. A sexual desire disorder would be Hypoactive sexual desire disorder where the person has little or no sexual interest. This is seen more commonly in women but can still happen to men even though it is believed men are always eager to have a sexual relation. Another one would be sexual aversion disorder where people have a strong hate for genital contact at all. They might like other forms of affectionate contact but it cannot involve genitalia. This is seen in many people who have faced sexual abuse or trauma in their life.
A sexual arousal disorder would be male erectile disorder (also known as ED) where a man has a hard time gaining or keeping an erection long enough to engage in sexual intercourse. And some women could have female sexual arousal disorder where they do not have sexual desire or are not properly/adequately lubricated enough.
Both men and women can have orgasmic disorders where they have difficulties reaching orgasm or cannot reach it at all. There are some cases where one can reach orgasm through masturbation but not sex with a partner. A clinician will be need to be contacted to see if there is enough stimulation during a sexual encounter. Premature ejaculation is the most common sexual dysfunction in men with every 3 out of 10 men dealing with it. It is where ejaculation is reached with barely any stimulation.
Sexual dysfunctions root back to psychological problems to the people who have them. It can be anything from their family discouraging sex completely or their culture saying sex is only for reproductive purposes and not for pleasure. Those can both lead to performance anxiety in each partner. Which is when one partner continuously worries about how they are performing and can cause a sexual dysfunction for them.
People facing these issues should go to sex therapists where they will have classes and daily sexual homework assignments that will hopefully help them overcome their anxiety. One of the practices that sexual therapists use is called sensate-focus exercises where partners massage each other in non genitalia areas in the nude. These exercises provide pleasurable stimulation without the performance demands that go along with sexual intercourse and later on after their confidence is restored they should be able to have sex again without performance anxiety.
