PSYCHOSEXUAL DISORDER SYMPTOMS

AND SOLUTIONS
PSYCHOSEXUAL DISORDERS
The sexual problems that are psychological in origin, rather than
physiological, are called psychosexual disorders. It may arise due to guilty
conscience, stress, anxiety, nervousness, worry, fear, depression, physical or
emotional trauma, abuse, rape and so on. The other factors causing sexual
problems are based on psychosocial and cultural aspects. Ignorance or
improper sex education can be a reason. Conflict of values between sexual
feelings during adolescence and that which is represented by family or
religion, (for example, the attitude that sex is dirty, sinful or a shame) acts as a
trigger for psychosexual disorder symptoms. Relationship aspects, like power,
trust or anger at partner and lack of communication and commitment to ones
partner or peer may also lead to sexual disorders.
IDENTIFYING SEXUAL DISORDERS
Discussions on sexual problems, once considered a taboo, has become open
in todays society. In order to identify the sexual problem, the case history of
the patient should be drawn carefully in detail. In case of couples, the
information from the partner is also very critical.
The actual nature of the problem must be analyzed with respect to the stage
of the sexual cycle and the conditions that trigger. The extent of the problem,
in terms of duration and its variation under various environments, past and
present experiences of the patient and partner must be given due
consideration in identifying the sexual disorder. When a partner is involved,
their commitment to each other and the degree of love, understanding and

trust, conflicts and resolution, communication patterns and individual

preferences must be taken into account.
The personality of the patient must be assessed to clarify the abnormal sexual
behavior. All other disorders like pot addiction, alcoholism, depression etc, and
physical causes must be ruled out. Professionally framed tests and quizzes
help analyze and identify the individuals psychosexual disorder symptoms.

SYMPTOMS OF PSYCHOSEXUAL DISORDERS

Psychosexual disorder symptoms vary for every individual and differ with
gender. They may be categorized into sexual dysfunction, paraphilias and
gender identity disorders.
Dysfunction is a sexual problem characterized by decreased desire, arousal
or orgasm and lack of enjoyment or satisfaction derived from sex. It may also
display dyspareunia or experience of more pain during the act. Sexual
aversion is associated with fear, anxiety and dislike. Impotence (male erectile
dysfunction), premature ejaculation, inhibited male orgasms and vaginismus
(involuntary contraction of the vagina in female) are the visible symptoms of
sexual problems.
Paraphilias or the disorder of sexual preference is the unusual or abnormal
sexual behavior that does not follow the normal standards. This category of
sexual disorder exhibits abnormal preference of sexual objects that include
fetishism (preference for inanimate objects), fetishistic transvestism (wearing
clothes of the opposite sex), paedophilia (pre-pubertal children), zoophilia
(animals), necrophilia (dead bodies), persons with specific qualities like a
deformity or handicap etc.,

Sexual perversions are also due to some type of psychosexual disorder and
include sexual sadism, exhibitionism, voyeurism and frotteurism. Exhibitionism
is exposing the genitals in public places for sexual excitement. Voyeurism is

Sadism

or

sadomasochism is inflicting pain on others, while masochism is inducing pain

to ones own self during the act and deriving pleasure from it. Frotteurism is
being excited by rubbing the genitalia against people in crowded public
places.
Gender identity disorders exhibit variation between ones sense of sexual
identity and the biological one. The sufferer shows doubt about ones own
sexual orientation, difficulty to adjust to the normal lifestyle, and a desire to
modify the sexual orientation to become a member of the opposite sex.
If any individual is suspected to suffer from any kind of psychosexual disorder
symptom, he/she must visit a professional counselor for additional evaluation
and personalized treatment. Psychological evaluations are performed to rule
out physical reasons and to reveal some kind of mental illness in the affected
individual.
Though the disorder is not life-threatening, it affects the relationship with ones
partner and reduces self-esteem. Such disorders may result in unlawful
activities or instincts that need to be treated. Treatment for this type of
psychological disorder involves medications together with psychotherapy and
counseling.
