Sexual Dysfunctions
General Overview
Since the sexual responses are comparable in both sexes, their sexual dysfunctions are also comparable.
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of dysfunctions:
1. Problems of tumescence, and 2. problems of orgasm.
In women only, there is a third possible dysfunction: Vaginismus, i.e. an involuntary vaginal spasm preventing the insertion of the penis.
