Male Sexual Dysfunction: What is it?
You are normal.
If you landed on this page, you’re probably thinking what the fuck Jackie, is this normal?? Does this happen to guys as Rachel said on Friends that it doesn't? You’ve searched Google high and low for sexual dysfunction causes, sexual mental disorders, sexual dysfunction symptoms, male sexual dysfunction treatment, sex therapy exercises, sex therapy counselling, and more! Don’t worry, I got you, I’m here to help explain the types of Male Sexual dysfunction and to break things down on how sex therapy in Minneapolis can help.
So what are sexual dysfunction causes?
Oh, you warm my heart that you’ve asked this fucking question and are curious to know more! Legit, you’re gonna hate this answer, but ANYTHING can create sexual dysfunction causes. As a sex therapist in Minneapolis, I assess a systemic approach, asking questions regarding, genetics, biology, medical components, life cycle transitions, substance use, stress, burnout, division of labor, anxiety, depression, other psychological symptoms, and look at this overall. We’ll get into sexual dysfunction causes in another blog, but this is the quick breakdown of this, so stay tuned for more information on that one later love!
What are male sexual mental disorders?
Oofta, that sounds rough when you put it that way and ask that question, am I right? *DISCLAIMER: I did not come up with these terms, they are not always inclusive, therapists in Minneapolis are working to help change this lingo as well as others in different places and it’s what the DSM-5 currently has regarding information. Male Sexual Mental Disorders include the following, Erectile Dysfunction, Premature Ejaculation, Male Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, and Delayed Ejaculation. There are different kinds of sexual dysfunction symptoms with each if this is happening a majority of the time (75-100%), if this has been present for 6 months, if there’s an absence of erotic thoughts, if this causes distress, and other symptoms. Each of these sexual dysfunction symptoms is different for each sexual mental disorders diagnosis. Rather than bore you with clinical language that sex therapists in Minneapolis use with clients, I’ll keep this one brief!
What is Male Sexual Dysfunction Treatment?
Fab question, you get a gold star and you get a gold star and YOU GET A GOLD STAR!! Yas honey, ask away! What male sexual dysfunction treatment consists of may look like medications and therapy simultaneously. Sometimes, medication alone as a form of male sexual dysfunction treatment only works or goes so far. Other times, therapy can help with male sexual dysfunction treatment alone, and medications may not be necessary. Male Sexual Dysfunction treatment honestly looks different for everyone. Male Sexual Dysfunction Treatment depends on the client, the type of sexual dysfunction symptoms they are experiencing if they meet criteria for one or more sexual mental disorders, and sex therapy counselling may do the trick. Sex therapy exercises can be useful and beneficial for male sexual dysfunction treatment. As I may have mentioned in a previous blog, 30% of sexual mental disorders are genetic and 70% of sexual mental disorders are related to psychological functioning. Either way, sex therapy exercises and sex therapy counselling can help treat Sexual Dysfunction Symptoms, Sexual Mental Disorders, and overall Male Sexual Dysfunction Treatment looks different for every person.
