x.3.2.4 Dysfunctions
Sexual problems can cause of major personal and relational problems. It has been said that few forms of failure are regarded as so abject as sexual failure. Although most sexual problems find their origin in the use and meaning of sex, many psychological (behavioral and mood) disorders are not purely intra psychological phenomena but reactions to aversive conditions. They are, in other words, strategies from the environment of evolutionary adaptedness. Here we will apply these general rules on the sexual domain for women. In successive order we will discuss:
- Definition of a sexual dysfunction
- Typology (in women)
- Prevalence (in The Netherlands) nog invullen/verwijzen
- Aetiology/pathogenesis
- Consequences
- Coping with sexual problems
- Risk factors, including comorbidity.
