Various Types
There are several types of sexual dysfunction. The most common include decreased sexual desire, difficulty with arousal, orgasmic disorders, and pain during intercourse. These difficulties may be temporary or ongoing, and may only appear in certain situations.
The Importance of Psychological Factors
Sexual dysfunction often involves a complex interplay of physical and psychological causes.
