Sexual health is a significant part of a healthy lifestyle. Getting regular check-ups, having safe sex, protecting yourself from STDs and conditions by staying educated about sexual conditions, infections, and diseases are all essential to leading and maintaining a healthy sexual life. So, here is a list of the most common sexual conditions prevalent in most people:

Sexual performance anxiety

Sex is pleasurable, or at least it is supposed to be. But, people who suffer from sexual performance anxiety often find it very hard to be intimate with their partner. This is because sex is not just a physical activity; it requires emotional and mental stimulation as well. If your mind is too stressed or anxious, it gets difficult to get excited or to focus.

Inability to orgasm

Studies and research show that around 10% of women have never been able to have an orgasm irrespective of whether they’re with a partner or alone. But why? This inability comes by not being able to achieve a balance in tension and relaxation. It is quite tricky, but with the help of therapy, many have been able to overcome this condition.

Paraphilia

Paraphilia is a condition where a person has an issue controlling their sexual impulses. These impulses are usually a result of intense sexual fantasies and behaviors. They tend to involve objects, activities, or situations that are not generally considered sexual by others.

Dyspareunia

Dyspareunia is a sexual condition that is characterized by painful intercourse for the female. The causes of this experience can range from vaginismus to an ectopic pregnancy. Anyone who experiences dyspareunia should see their doctor immediately as it could cause issues in the person’s sexual life and can even be life-threatening.

Vaginismus

Vaginismus is a sexual condition where the walls of the vagina close involuntarily due to a spasm. The condition presents itself in two forms – primary and secondary. Primary is when a woman faces this with everything – from sex to a tampon, and secondary is when a woman has had sex previously but is now facing pain and difficulty in carrying out the sex. The exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it is linked to anxiety and fear.

Erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a sexual condition where a person has trouble getting or maintaining an erection for intercourse. Many times, there is a physical basis that causes ED. Some of the symptoms include being unable to keep an erection for long, having soft erections, or not being able to get an erection at all. This condition becomes more and more common as the person grows older. But, this doesn’t mean that you cannot enjoy and have a good sex life as ED is easily treatable.
