The Kingdom of sexual dysfunctions

I will now let an overture to the common sexual dysfunctions as they come.

Loss of sexual desire

It is characterized by a shrinking sexual desire, reduction in procreative activity, no sensuous fantasies, and repulsion to erotic material by one or both partners.

Dyspareunia

Dyspareunia affects women and can differentiated by repeated vaginal pain during sexual intercourse. Pain usually occurs with penetration but can occur even without penetration due to vaginal stimulation. Symptoms may include burning, itching, stinging, or inflammation in any area of the perineum.


Vaginismus

Vaginismus again affects women and is marked with difficulty or pain during penetration due to involuntary contractions of vaginal muscles. It can get so bad at time that women dread any sexual contact.

Anorgasmia

Anorgasmia is another condition typical to women as characterized by a continuous or repeated delay in or lack of orgasm following a normal sexual excitement stage.In this case women may have intense sexual desire or arousal or even enjoy penetration but is unable to climax.

Premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation affects a man such that he repeatedly ejaculates without much sexual stimulation. He may climax before or shortly after penetration and finds it hard to control it. The man is unable to apply any voluntary control on his ejaculatory response and is unaware of erotic sensations leading to ejaculation.

Retarded Ejaculation

It is the inability in a man to have orgasm or to experience a delayed orgasm. It is persistent involuntary delay in ejaculation.

Retrograde Ejaculation

In retrograde ejaculation a man ejaculates back into his bladder, instead of out through the urethra.


Erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is also known as impotence. It is defined as the persistent inability in men to attain a hard and stiff erection. There may some who can manage a descent erection but cannot maintain it long enough to perform a satisfying sexual intercourse.
