sexual dysfunctions  

Definition

  • Sexual functioning is affected by a complex interplay of physiological, psychological, and contextual factors (e.g., physical health, life stress, past interpersonal experiences, current relationship quality) and may therefore change over time with age, life stages, and duration of relationships. Indeed, everyone may experience ups and downs in his or her sexual functioning. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Sexual Dysfunctions]
