Sexuality
In the world of sexuality, we contemplate a whole world of relationships that include sex, romantic desire, feelings, and relationships with others.
Enjoying sexuality is therefore something we all desire, but it's common to struggle to achieve a full and satisfying sex life. This creates feelings of guilt, anxiety, or shame in those who suffer from it.
Sex therapy is very useful when there is a malfunction in sexual behavior.
Types of dysfunctions
Difficulties in sexual relations are called dysfunctions and there are different types with specific characteristics:
- Desire: lack of desire or rejection of any sexual contact.
- Arousal: difficulty in reaching an adequate level of arousal that allows for a satisfactory sexual relationship.
- Sexual pain: sexual intercourse is painful due to insufficient lubrication or the appearance of involuntary spasms.
- Orgasm: In men, this is the lack of voluntary control over the ejaculatory reflex. In women, it is difficulty achieving orgasm.
What can cause a dysfunction?
There are different causes that lead to a poor sex life, and their analysis and correct detection are essential for effective treatment.
Psychological origin: Dysfunctions can be caused by fear, trauma, or feelings of shame or guilt. Factors to consider in treatment include a lack of trust, communication problems with one's partner, and even periods of stress, anxiety, or depression.
Physical origin: for example, certain diseases such as diabetes or sclerosis, hormonal deficiencies, thyroid problems or some other endocrine disorder, blood flow problems, back problems, and nerve damage.
