Sexual Desire Disorders

Also known as a decreased libido, sexual desire disorders may be caused by a decrease in the production of estrogen (in women) and testosterone (in both women and men). Other causes are aging, fatigue, pregnancy, and medications such as SSRI anti-depressants (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil). Psychiatric conditions like depression and anxiety can also cause decreased libido.

Sexual Arousal Disorders

These are commonly known as frigidity in women and impotence or erectile dysfunction in men and often appear as an aversion or avoidance of sexual contact with a partner. There may be underlying medical causes for these disorders, such as decreased blood flow, chronic disease, or lack of vaginal lubrication. The nature of the relationship between the partners can also play a role in these difficulties. With the success of Viagra, many erectile disorders for men may be primarily physical, and not psychological, conditions.

Orgasm Disorders

These involve a persistent delay or absence of orgasm following a normal sexual excitement phase. This can occur for both women and men. SSRI anti-depressants are often the cause as a side effect of these medications involve delaying or eliminating the achievement of orgasm.

Sexual Pain Disorders

These affect women almost exclusively. Common disorders are dyspareunia (painful intercourse) and vaginismus (an involuntary spasm of the muscles of the vaginal wall, which interferes with intercourse). Dyspareunia can be caused by insufficient lubrication (vaginal dryness). There may also be abnormalities in the pelvis or ovaries that can cause pain during intercourse. Vulvar pain disorders can also cause dyspareunia and the inability to have intercourse due to pain.
