Understanding Sexual Dysfunctions
- Sexual dysfunctions are classified according to which part of the sexual response cycle is disrupted, including desire, arousal, orgasm, and resolution.
- Female sexual disorders include sexual desire disorders (hyposexual sexual desire disorder, sexual aversion disorder), sexual pain disorders (dyspareunia, vaginismus), sexual arousal disorder, and orgasmic disorder.
- Male sexual disorders include premature ejaculation, prolonged ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, orgasmic disorder, and hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
- Other sexual disorders can be due to a general medical condition, substance-induced, or unspecified.
- Sexual dysfunctions can be lifelong or acquired, and generalized or situational.
- Stress in the context of sexual dysfunction involves predisposing, precipitating, maintaining, and contextual factors.
- Performance anxiety is a common stress factor in the development and maintenance of sexual dysfunctions.
- Female sexual desire disorders include hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) and sexual aversion disorder.
- Female sexual arousal disorder involves the inability to attain or maintain sufficient sexual excitement, causing personal distress.
- Prevalence of female sexual dysfunctions: 33.4% reported low sexual desire, 20% difficulty becoming lubricated, 14.4% experienced pain, and 24% reported a lack of orgasm.
- Hypoactive sexual desire disorder is the most frequent sexual problem among women, with potential triggers including work-related stress and biological and physiological changes due to prolonged stress.
