3. SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION
Sexual Dysfunction is divided into four categories:
Sexual desire disorder, sexual arousal disorder,
orgasmic disorder, and sexual pain disorders.
Sexual dysfunction can be experience when there
is a problem with their sexual responses. It can
lead to sexual frustration, guilt, loss of self-
esteem, and interpersonal problems. It can also
affect the first three phases of the sexual
responses. These disorders, in which people
cannot respond normally in key areas of sexual
functioning, make it difficult or impossible to enjoy
sexual intercourse. But what is the sexual
response cycle?

4. SEXUAL RESPONSE
CYCLE

5. Desire phase- this stage
refers to sexual interest or
desire, often associated
with sexually arousing
fantasies

6. Excitement phase-during this
phase, men and women
experience pleasure and
increased blood flow to the
genetalia.

7. Orgasm phase-In this phase, sexual
pleasures peaks in ways that have
fascinated poets and the rest of us ordinary
people for thousands of years. In men,
ejaculation feels inevitably and indeed
almost always occurs. In women, the outer
walls of the vagina contract. In both sexes
there is general muscle tension

8. Resolution phase-this last stage refers to the
relaxation phase and sense of well-being that
usually follow orgasm. In men, there is an
associated refractory period during which further
erection and arousal are not possible. The duration
of the refractory period varies men and even in the
same man across occasions. In women, they are
able to respond again with sexual excitement almost
immediately, a capability that permits multiple
orgasms.
