Sexuality has many facets: it is composed of the biological, the psychological, the physiological, the social and the cultural, so the satisfaction or dissatisfaction that derives from the sexual act can be determined by a large number of factors, including anxiety, imagination and lack of confidence. They shape the most common sexual problems that affect people’s lives. What are these most common sexual problems?
As we have seen, sexual acting is not a practice isolated from its context, there is a great biological, psychological and social influence, from the expectations and experiences already lived, through genetic, anatomical and hormonal provisions, to a myriad of cultural, educational, ethical and religious aspects.
- Thus.
- We can see that the effectiveness of sexual stimulation is determined by sensory and organic.
- Psychological.
- Attentional.
- Emotional.
- Motivational and cognitive factors.
- So it is so important to adapt all the organs and sensory systems.
- The interactions between the participants.
- Of the act and the ability we have to focus attention on the moment.
Our emotional and motivational state also plays a role in this set, if we are tired, if we are anxious, it is normal for our libido to decrease, like fatigue or cognitive aspects, such as sexual fantasies, also determine satisfaction as root. stimulation.
Although both are problems of sexual behavior, they need to be differentiated.
This is one of the most common problems. This occurs when a man is unable to create or maintain an erection for sexual intercourse to occur. It is also known as impotence and generally does not affect desire itself.
It is estimated that between 20 and 30% of cases are psychological. For example, too strict moral education, inadequate sexual information, or previous experiences that have been traumatic and have not been properly worked and designed can cause the problem. There are remedies that can have erectile dysfunction as a side effect. Other conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, heart or hormonal problems, as well as tobacco and alcohol, also contribute to its onset.
Premature ejaculation is the inability to control sperm expulsion as desired, although it is often customary to associate ejaculation at the end of sexual intercourse, this should not necessarily be the case, on the other hand, delayed ejaculation is delay or absence. occurs after a long period or is completely non-existent. This becomes a problem if this happens frequently.
The origin of both sexual problems is usually due to psychological factors, so the intervention is usually aimed at controlling arousal, either by intervening directly on the stimuli that produce it, or by training certain mental strategies that inhibit ejaculation to some extent. Among the most commonly used protocols in this direction are “Stop” and “compression”.
It refers to a difficulty of intercourse, due to the involuntary contraction of the muscles of the lower part of the vagina, that is, spasms occur in these muscles that close the vagina and prevent penetration, there are two types of vaginismus differentiated by their origin: primary vaginismus (the woman has never been able to have sex without pain) and secondary vaginismus (the woman may have had sex without pain before the appearance of vaginismus).
The problem occurs for physical, psychological or a mixture of both, plus it is one of the sexual problems that usually gets worse if not treated, this happens if the woman continues to try to penetrate despite the pain she feels. In these cases, the woman eventually increases involuntary contraction to prevent penetration.
Anorgasmia refers to the inability to reach orgasm. People with this problem can’t reach this peak of sex.
It is one of the most common sexual problems in both sexes, although it occurs mainly in women, it is more common in women because of its morphology, women have more nerve and muscle structures than men, in them it is more difficult to detect. the problem because usually the tendency is to assume that if man ejaculates, he has reached orgasm.
Some people, however, especially tweens, have orgasms without ejaculation; on the other hand, some problems can cause others to reach orgasm without ejaculating; other men also experience sensation at different times of ejaculation, such as a few seconds later, or multiple orgasms just before ejaculation itself, but there are people who ejaculate anesthetically, also called anhedonia, that is, without feeling anything.
Anorgasmia is usually the result of psychological factors, such as certain sexual traumas, depression, anxiety, fear or false beliefs about sex and sexuality, it is treated and only 5% of cases do not find a solution.
It’s painful or uncomfortable sex. Whether before, during or after penetration, this occurs in women and men, but its prevalence is higher among them, characterized by the existence of genital pain associated with penetration, in men this pain usually occurs during ejaculation, a very likely cause of this symptom is an infection of the urinary tract.
In women, dyspareunia can be associated with vaginismus and cause burns, burns, contractions and very severe pains, if it does not occur at the beginning of the act, but after reaching and exceeding its peak, it may be the result of a loss of lubrication Its causes are more organic than psychological.
This problem also affects both sexes. In the case of women, its causes can be hormonal, due to low estrogen levels, this hormonal reduction can result, among other things, from menopause, in this context the same is usually the case during pregnancy or lactation, where desire is also less. In the case of men, 70% of cases of loss of sexual desire are due to testosterone deficiency. The remaining 30% of cases involve stress-related problems or partner problems.
On the other hand, not only are we talking about a loss, the loss of sexual desire can refer to two different classifications:
In short, it could be said that sexual acting is a behavior that, like any behavior, responds to several quite complex mechanisms, which makes sex more complicated than is generally thought, sexual stimulation can be affected by a very large multiplicity of factors. It is essential to pay attention to the aspects that can surround our sexuality, such as communication, a sense of security and intimacy.
