Generalized vs. specific/Situational.
Situational sexual disorder: a sexual disorder that a person has in some situation

- 6. DSM-5 – Required Factor Checks
• According to the DSM-5, sexual dysfunction requires a person to feel extreme distress
and interpersonal strain for a minimum of 6 months (excluding substance or medication-
induced sexual dysfunction).
• In addition to the lifelong/acquired and generalized/situational subtypes of sexual
dysfunctions, several factors must be considered during the assessment of the sexual
dysfunction:
1. Partner factors (their sexual problems, their health status)
2. Relationship factors (poor communication, discrepancies in desire for sexual
activity.
3. Individual vulnerability factors (poor body image, history of sexual or emotional
abuse)
4. Cultural or religious factors (inhibitions related to prohibitions against sexual
activity or pleasure; attitudes towards sexuality)
5. Medical factors relevant to prognosis (Libido, cardiovascular disease, diabetes)

Deficiency in, or absence of, sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity
that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.

dangerous sexual activity.

- 8. Problems with Hypoactive Sexual Desire
• Biological and Psychological Etiological Factors
Hormone levels: Androgens and estrogens
Psychotherapeutic drugs and conditions
Daily hassles and relationship stress/satisfaction
Negative perceptions of sexuality, history of sexual abuse

- 9. Sexual Arousal Disorders
• Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
The inability to reach or maintain adequate erection of the penis to engage
in intercourse. This includes a decrease in erectile rigidity.
• Female Sexual Arousal Disorder
Persistent or recurrent inability to attain (or maintain until completion of
sexual activity) an adequate genital lubrication-swelling response of
sexual excitement that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulties.

- 10. Erectile Dysfunction
• DSM Diagnostic Criteria
Inability to reach/maintain erection or erectile rigidity occurs all or almost all of
the time for at least 6 months
• Biological Etiological Factors
60%-80% of ED cases are organic in nature.
Surgery, chronic illnesses and vascular disorders can all interfere with the normal
blood inflow to the corpora cavernous (erectile tissue in the penis)
Drugs that reduce testosterone, increase dopamine, or interfere with the
increase in parasympathetic activity that facilitates penile smooth muscle
relaxation required for erection
© 2017 Thomas Owondo. All rights reserved. 10
- 11. Erectile Dysfunction (cont.)
• Psychological Etiological Factors
Anxiety
Negative Expectations
Spectatoring: Focus on performance instead of pleasure
• Assessment
Identifying situations and beliefs surrounding ED onset
Measurements of genital blood inflow and outflow, nocturnal erections, free and
bioavailable serum testosterone
• Treatment
Vacuum and constriction devices, penile implants
Pharmacotherapy (e.g., injections, creams, Viagra)

- 12. Female Sexual Arousal Difficulties
• DSM Diagnostic Criteria and Prevalence
Persistent, recurrent inability to attain or maintain genital response to sexual
excitement, which causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and lasts for
at least 6 months
Some issues with a sole focus on genital response in criteria
20% estimated lifetime prevalence of related problems
• Biological and Psychological Etiological Factors
Estrogen and androgen levels
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system integrity
General mood and feelings about one’s body
Feeling desired by a partner
Worry about the consequences of sexual behavior

normal sexual excitement phase

• Delayed or inhibited ejaculation must occur all the time or most of the
time for at least 6 months
• Affects only 3% of the population, often only affects men during

Early:
• Ejaculation occurs with little stimulation and ejaculation latency is lower
than the man desires
• Typically men ejaculate within the first minute of intercourse.
