Human sexual behavior is extremely complex and multi-faceted. On the surface, the four
part human sexual response looks simple enough: desire stage, arousal stage, climax stage and
resolution stage. In reality, however, each of these stages can present with significant
problems and dysfunctions. Then add to the picture the differences in males and females, the
impact of biochemistry, biology, medication, church teaching, family up-bringing, and societal
mores and messages on the human sexual response and one can readily appreciate the complexity and
range of possible sexual dysfunctions. The good news is that treatment is available.
Common female dysfunctions include:
- Inability to reach orgasm (orgasmic
dysfunction)
- Very painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Difficulty with penetration (vaginismus)
Common male dysfunctions include:
- Premature ejaculation (ejaculatory
incompetence)
- Delayed ejaculation (ejaculatory
inhibition)
- Impotence (erectile dysfunction)
ISD (Inhibited Sexual Desire) and Sexual Anorexia
(sexual aversion and phobias) are found in both males and females.
