I’m working on a humanities question and need guidance to help me understand better.
Sexual dysfunction occurs when you have a problem that prevents you from wanting or enjoying sexual activity. It can happen anytime to anyone. Men and women of all ages experience sexual dysfunction, although the chances increase as you age.
Stress is a common cause of sexual dysfunction. Other causes include:
sexual trauma
psychological issues
diabetes
heart disease or other medical conditions
drug use
alcohol use
certain medications
When does a bad night become a disorder?
Four categories of sexual dysfunction exist. It’s normal not to be in the mood sometimes. None of these should be considered a disorder unless it happens regularly and significantly affects your sexual life:
Desire disorder is when you have little or no interest in sexual relations on an ongoing basis.
Arousal disorder means you’re emotionally in the mood, but your body isn’t into it (for example in women you don’t get wet/moist and for men you can’t get an erection).
Orgasm disorder means you’re emotionally in the mood, but you have an inability to climax that leaves you frustrated.
Pain disorder involves having pain during intercourse.
Sexual dysfunction happens to most people at one time or another. If it becomes an ongoing problem, you should seek help. When sexual problems keep happening, both partners can have anxiety. Things can escalate if you don’t discuss it. If the situation doesn’t improve or you suspect a physical reason, it’s time to see your doctor. Be prepared to give a complete medical history, including a list of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Tell your doctor the specifics of your problem. ;o)
Assignment:
Select one set of questions below appropriate for your relationship situation and answer the following questions by posting a response (if you are in a same sex relationship, gender-queer, gender non-conforming choose what applies to you). Reflect, Reveal, Explain, Support, or Debate…express yourself with as much precision as possible as you discuss the following (no reference required):
Write the scenario first so that I know which you are choosing:
*What would your response be if your male identified partner lost his erection once? What would be your response if he had a recurrent impotence problem? What would you say to him about the problem? At what point (if ever) would you seek outside or professional help?
*What would be your response if your female identified partner didn’t achieve orgasm or regularly experienced pain during intercourse or your during sexual encounters? What would you say to her about the problem? At what point (if ever) would you seek outside or professional help?
