To talk about sexuality and sex is rather fulfilling,
learning new features, expressing wishes and desires, experiences traded off,
or simply bearing a good semblance of something happened in a blue moon, like,
fantasy fruition.
How delightful and healthy interacting with someone can be, leading
a lust-ridden sexual life, libido, of unforgettable moments, spicing
up relation sexually every time we feel stuck in a rut, for all that,
our sexuality is to be enjoyed the best we can. Though, talking about
sexuality not always includes beauty, happiness, sex-linked pleasure,
in other words, there are yet situations not so good, not so pleasant, and often
not so normal. To mention sexuality is to talk about sufferance as well,
of people who burden feelings of guilt and despair, phobias, distress, difficulty
in interpersonal relationship, so much so as off chance situations. All of it
makes part of a string of events, of whose sexual disorders, and about
that this article refers to.
No one is free from bearing or suffering some sexual disorder
of a kind. Once there are so diverse and divide in three main groups, given
that within each group are yet various subdivisions.
Sexual dysfunction- could be viewed as that complaint likely
to affect or alter the psycho-physiological response of sexual stimulation.
As consequences will bring upon agony, sufferance and dissatisfaction to oneself
and who comes along with. Most common female sexual disorders are Anorgasmia,
vaginitis and dyspareunia in that sexual desire suppression.
Paraphilia, according to Kaplan and Sadock, the type of distress
characterized by specific fantasies, of unbearable urges usually and practices
of receptive nature, on which point upsets oneself.
For the same authors, "a special fantasy, with its unconscious
and conscious components, compounds the element of patgnomy, being sex-linked
arousal and orgasm combined phenomena".
The main categories in Paraphylia are pedophilia, exhibitionism,
sexual sadism, sexual masochism, voyeurism, fetishism, transvestic
fetishism, frotteurism, and on top of that there is another distinct category
for other paraphylia with no other specification, zooerasty for instance. One
may present multiple paraphylic disorders.
Gender identity disorder- can be described as the one who perceives
oneself as a member of the other sex, the opposite sex. The standing
ground in these cases is the feeling of weirdness, causing sheer pain and agony.
Treatment for cases of gender identity disorder is rather complex
and hard, once most often it requires sex reassignment surgery. Psychotherapeutic
assessment is vital in order to gain tranquility leverage and support in tackling
a brand new reality- mostly if subjected to sex reassignment surgery.
It goes without saying that whoever undergoes this type of surgery will face
challenges in life and ought to be strong to handle adversities that might arise.
