A sexual disorder refers to a problem with the sexual response that causes a person mental distress. There is a continuum of sexual functioning rather than categories (i.e. dysfunctional and normal).

A lifelong sexual disorder refers to a sexual disorder that has been present ever since the person became sexual. An acquired sexual disorder refers to a sexual disorder that develops after a period of normal functioning.
Sexual desire refers to an interest in sexual activity, leading the individual to seek out sexual activity or be pleasurably receptive to it.

During the menopause, oestrogen levels tend to decrease which, subsequently, leads to a decrease in vaginal lubrication. The prevalence of erectile disorder is less than 10% of men under 40 and 30% of men in their 60s. Psychological reactions to erectile dysfunction may be severe (e.g. shame).
