Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

Revitalizing Psychiatry for North Jersey Mental Health: "Hypoactive sexual desire (HSD) is a very common sexual disorder. The most common cause of HSD seems to be relationship problems wherein one partner does not feel emotionally intimate or close to their mate.

Communication problems, lack of affection that is not associated with continuing into sexual intercourse, power struggles and conflicts, and a lack of time alone together are common factors. HSD may also be associated with a very restrictive upbringing concerning sex, negative attitudes toward sex, or negative or traumatic sexual experiences (such as rape, incest, or sexual abuse).

Alternate Names: Sexual aversion; Sexual apathy; Inhibited sexual desire"

Treatment of Hypoactive sexual desire is available at the Center of Revitalizing Psychiatry

Retarded Ejaculation

Revitalizing Psychiatry for New Jersey Mental Health: "Retarded Ejaculation is an inhibition of ejaculation. A male is unable to ejaculate, either during intercourse, or with manual stimulation in the presence of a partner.

Estimates of the incidence of retarded ejaculation range from 1 to 4% of men. Most men ejaculate within 2 to 4 minutes after onset of active thrusting in intercourse. Men with retarded ejaculation may be entirely unable to ejaculate in some circumstances (for example, during intercourse), or may only be able to ejaculate with great effort and after prolonged intercourse.
