Psychosexual Dysfunction Treatment:

Experts are claiming that stress can be the main cause in relation to the lack of sexual drive in men. Depression and the inability to talk about their problems are also a high factor to consider.

Relationship counsellors have reported a whopping 40 % increase in the number of men with low libido’s, stating that, despite being physically able to have sex, they don’t have any interest.

What we seem to have, is a lot of men who are saying: “I can have sex, but I don’t want to. It’s not rewarding”.

Such complaints were unheard of ten years ago. They tend to be men in their thirties, forties and fifties and married.

One of the explanations is that men are less able to talk about their problems than women, or express their emotions.  Men are most likely to suffer depression between the ages of 30 and 50. Another explanation could be that our work culture has gone from nine to five, to extremely long hours, which makes for a very stressful life.

It is a serious issue and it counts as a psychosexual dysfunction, rather than just a relationship problem, because these men haven’t simply gone off their partner but they have off sex altogether.

Four Good Reasons why Trauma Treatment Therapy is Crucial when we experience Traumatic Events.

1. We need to express and process our strong emotions, if we are not allowed to do so, we learn to  repress these feelings and they can erupt years later, distorted and causing great confusion.

2. The ability to process these emotions can prevent difficulties in later life. Whereby we can struggle with daily functioning. Often feeling inundated and incapacitated.

3. Many people who have repressed their experiences and feelings, often find great difficulty in moving on, they become more likely to self harm, take drugs and or alcohol. They may turn to these substances in order to escape and numb their difficult, painful emotions.

4. Stomach problems (IBS), anxiety and panic attacks, exhaustion, and memory loss problems are physical manifestations of emotional stress.
