Sex and related
problems
Sex is a latin numerical meaning prefix 6 and
sexual activity is associated
with sexual intercourse.Is sex a useful way to enhance relationships and build
intimacy or the last resort of the lonely and desperate?
Some people prefer sex as part of a long-
term relationship while others find
familiarity a real passion killer. The term 'casual sex' implies there's no
commitment to the other person. Although this doesn't necessarily mean there's
no sense of responsibility or care, in a casual encounter you're more likely to
focus on the here and now. But in case of a long term relationship you have the
advantage of knowing each other well. Fear of rejection is replaced with trust
and security.And as the relationship matures, sex also matures- which means
emotional as well as
physical. But sometimes some problems do occur because of
some physicalities or due to our lifestyles.
Sexual dysfunction can be a result of a physical or psychological problem.

physical and/or medical conditions can cause problems with sexual
function. These conditions include diabetes,
heart and vascular (blood vessel) disease, neurological disorders,
hormonal imbalances, chronic diseases such as kidney or liver failure, and
alcoholism
and drug
abuse. In addition, the side
effects of certain medications, including some antidepressant
drugs, can affect sexual desire and function. Psychological causes --
These include work-related stress
and
anxiety,
concern about sexual performance, marital or relationship problems, depression,
