Our sexuality is certainly one
of the most essential aspects of our life. It is the element
of life we share with all other living things on this planet.
Couples share wine, movies, vacations and bedrooms. Do couples
also share sexual problems and solutions?
Everyone has troubles from time
to time -- having desire, becoming aroused, reaching orgasm
and feeling satisfied. It's normal. Sexual problems are common
and treatable. Though, experts say the difficulty becomes
a sexual dysfunction depending on how long the problem lasts,
how you feel about it and how it affects your relationship.
Sexual Problems Causes
According to a study, 4 out
of 10 women and 3 out of 10 men have sexual problems. It is
estimated that as many as half of the sexual problems that
spoil peoples lives and relationships are the result of insufficient
knowledge. The sexuality of even very highly educated people
is badly affected by a lack of sexuality knowledge resulting
in beliefs in sexual myths or untrue "facts." Sometimes
a rigid or fearful "sex education" in childhood
from parent, teacher, church or media can affect very serious
problems.
The most common sexual problems
in men include premature ejaculation, problems in achieving
or maintaining an erection (Erectile
Dysfunction), and diminished or excessive sexual desire.
According to National survey of Adult Sexual Behavior, 14-17%
of men reported lack of interest in sex. Men over age 40 were
two to three times as likely to report lack of interest compared
to men under age 30. The most common problems in women include
diminished sexual desire and problems in achieving a climax.
Couples normally have problems because their levels of sexual
interest are different.
Treatment of Sexual
Problems
Part of restoring your sex
life generally includes understanding your body and your emotional
desires. If the problem is clearly connected to difficulties
within a relationship, receiving professional assistance by
a trained sex therapist or relationship counselor may greatly
improve the sexual enjoyment within the relationship.
