Sexual Dysfunction

Are you experiencing a major loss of interest or desire to have sex? Have you been having sexual arousal complications? Does it seem as if you or your partner try to  avoid sex almost all of the time? Do you experience anxiety or fear when you think about sex? If so, you may be experiencing some form or level of sexual dysfunction. A sexual problem, or sexual dysfunction, refers to a problem during any phase of the sexual response cycle that prevents the individual or couple from experiencing satisfaction from the sexual activity. Many people, both men and women, encounter sexual problems at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, over time, everyday stressors like work, children and money, or physical issues such as impotence, menopause and depression can leave couples worn out and uninterested. If left unaddressed, a lack of intimacy can form a big distance between partners, causing them to drift apart.
