Sexual Dysfunction can occur at any age and can affect both men and women equally. There are a number of reasons and factors that trigger sexual dysfunction. Being sexually dissatisfied with a sex partner can cause sexual dysfunction where in the person shows a lack of interest in the activity due to his dissatisfaction with his partner. Some people may not be interested in sexual activities or fantasies right from birth and as such these people may experience sexual dysfunction conditions. People who are diagnosed with conditions such as genital mutilation, hormonal imbalances, diabetic neuropathy, spinal cord injuries and cardiovascular diseases may experience a condition known as anorgasmia wherein in spite every effort, the person cannot achieve an orgasm. Impotence is a condition wherein the man cannot develop or retain erection of the penis for a time that is needed to experience sexual satisfaction. Sexually transmitted diseases or venereal diseases are diseases that can transmit between humans as well as animals through means of sexual activity. There are no clear signs of this disease but it can be widely transmitted. Many people also experience a delay or a complete absence of ejaculation and this can be due to physical or psychological reasons. Men experience a problem with the timing of ejaculation and either it takes place too soon or too late because of the person’s inability to control its timing. Women also experience a problem with their vaginal muscles and are unable to relax them at times leading to problems during sexual activity. Inadequate lubrication of the vagina can also lead to several sexual conditions wherein women might face an inability to relax the muscles or experience pain during the sexual activity. Burning pain can be experienced in the vulva or in the vagina during sexual intercourse. Some people also have difficulties learning or facing their sexual orientation and because of this do not experience any pleasure during sexual activities. People of a transgender or transsexual nature also experience problems during sexual activity either before or after the operation and these conditions are of a temporary nature. Persistent genital arousal disorder refers to a condition where genital arousal is performed on a consistent basis even without orgasm and in some acts may be totally unrelated to sexual desire. This condition is mostly said to be because of a neurological disorder. Use of antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor can lead to a sexual dysfunction known as Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction. Sexual addiction is also a sexual dysfunction condition wherein, the individual shows an inability to control his sexual behavior. People who suffer from conditions such as bipolar disorder mostly experience a condition known as hypersexuality. Female genital mutilation or female circumcision which can be a result of religious, cultural or any other reasons can also cause variations in sexual pleasure for women during sexual activity. These are a few of the conditions that can lead to sexual dysfunction and with the help of medical procedures and medications such as Viagra, all conditions can be overcome to a great level. |
