Overview

Sexual dysfunction and psychosexual concerns affect desire, arousal, or the physical and emotional experience of intimacy, and can stem from psychological, relational, or medical factors — often several at once.

Common Signs & Symptoms

  • Persistent low sexual desire or interest
  • Difficulty with arousal or physical response
  • Pain or discomfort during intimacy
  • Distress or anxiety related to sexual performance
  • Relationship strain connected to sexual concerns
  • Concerns present since a specific event, or that have developed gradually

When to Seek Help

These concerns are common and highly treatable — most people wait far longer than necessary before seeking help.
