...Sexual Dysfunction PSY/265 10/15/13 Jordan L. Scupin Sexual Dysfunction Summarize the effects of one type of sexual dysfunction that can effect both men and women. What are some factors that may cause this type of dysfunction? What treatments may help individuals who experience this type of dysfunction? There are various factors that come into play with what causes sexual dysfunction, some vary from person to person an others are general symptoms. These factors include: Sexual desire disorders which is the decreased desire to sexual contact. Sexual arousal disorders which is considered a more physical aspect, referring to lack of lubrication in women, or unable to get/keep an erection in men. Orgasmic disorders is both men and women being unable to reach or are reaching their climax at times they do not want to. Men are more likely to obtain their climax too early and women are more likely to have trouble obtaining and orgasm. All of these sexual dysfunctions can be treated by sex therapy which either shows you how to pleasure each other in a healthy environment or gives you advice on how to treat your problems. There are also pills such as Viagra for men with erectile/arousal dysfunctions and other simulates for women that are either in pill form of creams. Sexual pain disorder can affect both men as well as women. For men and women they may be suffering from dyspareunia; for women they may be suffering from vaginismus. The...

...Sexual Dysfunction Melanie Chapman PSY/265 July 8, 2013 Sally Henzel Sexual Dysfunction Based upon the human sexual response, we are able to separate the following categories of sexual disorders of psychological origin: sexual pain disorder, orgasmic disorder, sexual desire disorder, and sexual arousal disorder. When we look at orgasmic disorders, we find an issue that is prevalent in both males and females: premature ejaculation (in males) or rapid female orgasm (obviously, in females). Premature ejaculation is something that plagues males around the world. Premature ejaculation is, essentially, a lack of control over one’s ejaculation, which occurs either before penetration or just shortly afterward. Premature ejaculation is frequently observed, and it is estimated that between 30% and 40% of men suffer from this. Premature ejaculation is caused, primarily, by psychological factors like anxiety or lack of sensory awareness. Lack of sensory awareness occurs when the male is unable to clearly perceive the sensations happening in their body before orgasm, which in turn leads to excitement that is just too overpowering to the body causing an early release. Rapid female ejaculation is something that we do not hear about too often, but it probably happens to women more often than we think. Rapid female ejaculation is something that is not necessarily looked upon as a problem, but it is definitely a problem. Rapid female ejaculation is a problem that occurs in women...

...Week 9 Assignment: Personal Response on Sexuality Identity LaShawne Johnson - Kidwell PSY/265 November 12, 2010 Angela Kolter Personal Response on Sexuality Identity Sexuality is a topic that has drawn up many conversations from all types of individuals. The truth is that one’s sexuality develops as we as individuals mature. With that being said, there are various distinctive aspects that affect one’s sexual development and behavior (i.e. upbringing, religion, or even culture). In the paper there are three scenarios, all of them experiencing a different phase of life, which will ultimately bring forth different stages of sexuality. I will then give viewpoints from a therapist perspective; this will in turn hopefully aid the individuals in making choices, as well as ways to overcome obstacles that are currently disturbing the individuals with expressing their own sexuality. Scenario 1. Anna, an adolescent girl, is very much in love with her boyfriend who is three years older than she. He is putting a lot of pressure on her to have sex. At the same time, she is anxious about her parents’ attitude towards her boyfriend. Her mother constantly warns her about dating an older boy and assumes that he intends to take advantage of her. Result. Anna at this stage in your life, I know you are experiencing a huge amount of various feelings, as well as the pressure from not only your boyfriend but those of your peers. You are experiencing the abundance of feelings...

...Assignment: Sexuality at Different Life Stages PSY/265 April 10, 2011 Assignment: Sexuality at Different Life Stages Age, race, and a patient’s background are just three of many criteria that a therapist(s) or psychologist(s) need to address during therapy sessions. All patients will provide some personal information about themselves; this information along with information that therapists have learned while earning their degree is instrumental in helping a patient return to a healthier stage in life that is conducive to the patient's well being. In Anna’s case, successful therapy will give her mother some semblance of peace of mind. All of the therapy in the world, however, will not rid Anna’s father of his worry and nightmares about Anna’s boyfriend. Very few fathers will be at peace when their adolescent daughter(s) are dating a boy. Fathers are of the mind that there is no boy that is good enough for their daughter, nor can the boy be trusted. As the gather of two young girls, the author can attest to that. With that being said, it is time to address Anna’s problem; or is it the problem her parents face. Anna is in love, or like many adolescent girls and boys, believes she is in love with a boy that is three years older than she is. Many, if not all adolescent boys that are older than their girlfriends, attempt to have sexual relations with them and this is due in part to pressure, and due in part to the age difference, boys normally succeed. Pressure can...
