When does sexual dissatisfaction
equal dysfunction?
Sexual satisfaction is commonly defined as the ability to achieve orgasm every time a woman is intimate. In a recent survey in the US, 43% of women said they have had one or more sexual problems:
- 33% Complained of low sexual desire
- 24% Reported the inability to come to orgasm
- 14% Experienced pain during sex
There are 4 primary dysfunction categories:
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD)
This is the inhibition of the general arousal of sexual response. A woman with FASD does not naturally lubricate. Her vagina does not expand and there is no formation of the orgasmic platform. She typically does not feel erotic sensations and may even find physical contact painful, repulsive or find it enjoyable only to a point.
Female Orgasmic Disorder
This is AN impairment of the orgasmic component of the female sexual response. This is quite distinct from FSAD. With female orgasmic disorder, women may be very sexually aroused but unable to reach orgasm.
Vaginismus
This is characterized by vaginal tightness causing discomfort, burning, pain, penetration problems, or complete inability to have intercourse. The vaginal tightness results from the involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor, although the woman may not be aware that this is the cause of her penetration or pain difficulties.
Inhibited Sexual Desire
Inhibited sexual desire is often a side effect from a variety of conditions including:
- Chronic physical disease such as diabetes or atherosclerosis.
- Hormone deficiencies
- Depression treatment with an SSRI prescription
- Stress
- Alcohol use
- Psychological repercussions of life events
