Sexual dysfunction is difficulty during any part of the sexual act, which includes desire, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction that prevents the individual or partner from enjoying sexual activity. These Sexual difficulties can begin at any time, but many experience problems developing early on in their life or after previously experienced enjoyable and satisfying sex.


A sexual problem may develop gradually over time, or may occur suddenly as a total or partial inability to participate in one or more areas of the sexual act.


The causes of sexual difficulties can be physical, psychological, or both,  and frequently begin in the early adult years, with the majority of people seeking assistance from a therapist for such conditions during their late twenties and thirties.


The incidence begins to increase again in the older population, typically with gradual onset of symptoms that are associated most commonly with medical gynecological causes. Sexual dysfunction is more common in people who abuse alcohol, especially binge drinking and illicit drugs, and many other medications such as anti-hypertensive and anti-depressant medications.


Those suffering from diabetes and degenerative neurological disorders, or emotional psychological problems, stress, anxiety and women that have difficulty maintaining relationships or chronic sexual, physical or mental abuse with the current sexual partner, can also interfere with sexual functioning.
