Sexual dysfunctions are persistent or recurrent problems with sexual interest, arousal, or response. Despite people not wanting to admit it, sexual dysfunctions are very common and there are many different types of sexual dysfunctions. These problems can be put into three categories, sexual desire disorders, sexual arousal disorders and orgasmic disorders. There are two known sexual desire disorders. The first one is Hypoactive sexual desire disorder. This is one of the most common disorders and basically means they have no sexual desires whatsoever. Lastly, there's the sexual aversion disorder. A person who suffers from this disorder is disgusted by sexual activity. They may enjoy hugging, holding hands or even kissing, as long as it doesn't involve the genitals. There are also two known sexual arousal disorders, male erectile disorder and female sexual arousal disorder. A man suffering from male erectile disorder has trouble achieving an erection and if they do they have trouble maintaining it, making it hard to engage in sexual activities. Women with female sexual arousal disorder have trouble becoming sexually aroused and being adequately lubricated, which also makes it hard to engage in sexual activities. Orgasmic disorders have 3 sub-categories, female orgasmic disorder and male orgasmic disorder. Both of these sub-categories simply mean the person has trouble reaching orgasm or cannot reach orgasm at all. Lastly, there's premature ejaculation, which only occurs in men. This is characterized as rapid ejaculation with minimal stimulation following sex. There are some ways to treat sexual dysfunctions, including sex therapy. There are a wide variety of techniques that are used in sex therapy, but one of them is the sensate-focus exercise. This is an exercise that involves both partners. Both partners massage each other in the nude in order to try and lessen the anxiety that is associated with sexual interactions.
