Kinds of sexual problems

Many people, both young and old, experience a sexual problem during their lifetime. This is normal. Most sexual problems disappear on their own after a short time.

They are often caused by stress, disease, tiredness, relationship problems or partners having different expectations of their sex life.

These can include:

• No or less sexual desire.
• One of the partners has more or less sexual desire than the other.
• A dry vagina.
• Premature ejaculation.
• Problems with having an erection.
• No orgasm, or an orgasm that comes too quickly.
• Too much tension comes from the pelvic floor muscles.
• Pain during penetration.

Some people get addicted to pornography. Watching pornography too much and too often can become a problem. It can cause you to have unrealistic expectations of sex. It can also influence your social life or cause tensions in your relationship.
