ABSTRACT

The Sexual Disorders are divided into three groups. The Sexual Dysfunctions are characterized by inhibitions in sexual desire or dysfunction of the psychophysiological changes that characterize the sexual response cycle. The Paraphilias are characterized by arousal in response to sexual objects or situations not part of normal arousal-activity patterns, and which may interfere with a capacity for reciprocal, affectionate sexual activity. The Gender Identity Disorders are characterized by distinct and continuous identification with the opposite sex and persistent discomfort with one’s own.https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315820774/fad306a6-9f2f-469b-a373-bfcdd1211b15/content/ifig0097_B.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
