I really seem to have opened a can of worms on this one. Feel free to contradict me if you wish, my skin is calloused. The overwhelming majority of sexual dysfunction is transient and self-limited, both in males and females, and is much more likely to be the result of fatigue, depression, anxiety, situation, anger, fear, etc. than it is to be the result of diabetes, hypertension, neurologic dysfunction, surgery, medication, etc. Sexual dysfuntion that requires treatment is going to lean more heavily toward the later category since the first category is usually temporary. Virtually everyone, both male and female, has experienced a loss of libido, inhibited orgasm, erectile or lubrication dysfunction at some point in their life. It is rarely because there is something physically wrong with the testes, penis, vagina, clitoris, uterus or ovaries. The most important sexual organ is the brain.
