Similarities in Female and Male Dysfunctions

男女性功能障碍-新术语体系

男女性功能障碍的相似性
极为常见的是，性功能障碍被定义为关乎进行或享受性交(阴道性交——译者注)的能力。因而，男女双方的性反应可能会在三个途径发生功能障碍：
  1. 性交不能开始，因为性器官没有显示出最初的反应(缺乏性生理唤起，也就是说在男女双方任何一方缺乏膨胀和女方阴道痉挛)。
  2. 性交挫败感，因为在一方或双方性伴看来，发生性高潮要么过早、要么太迟(性高潮时机不满足)。
  3. 没有达到性高潮-从根本上说(缺乏性高潮)  ，新的和更为合适的术语体系应该反映这些基本的生理学事实，从而使治疗师和病人能够对功能障碍方便作出准确的诊断。术语应该适用于男女两个性别，就像当描述人体性反应时那些术语适用于两性一样。简而言之，新术语体系会对每一个人都非常有帮助，要是到了将来，男女性功能障碍将会与从前不同的方式进行分类：

Female and Male Sexual Dysfunctions -
A New Terminology

Similarities in Female and Male Dysfunctions
Most often, sexual dysfunctions are defined in relation to the ability to perform or enjoy coitus. Thus, both the male and female sexual responses can be dysfunctional in three ways:
  1. Coitus cannot begin, because the sex organs do not show the necessary initial reaction (lack of physical arousal, i.e. lack of tumescence in either sex and vaginismus in women).
  2. Coitus is frustrating because, in the opinion of one or both partners, orgasm occurs either too early or too late (unsatisfactory timing of orgasm).
  3. No orgasm is reached at all (absence of orgasm). A modern, more adequate terminology should reflect these basic physiological facts and thereby in able both the therapists and the patients to arrive at a precise diagnosis of the problem at hand. The terms should be applicable to both sexes, just as they already are when it comes to describing the human sexual response. In short, it would be very helpful for everyone concerned if, in the future female and male sexual dysfunctions would be listed in a different way:
