Female sexual dysfunction

Sexuality became the focus of academic investigation relatively recently, in the second half of the 20th century. It still remains an exciting, yet sensitive and controversial subject. Although the evaluation and treatment of sexual problems in men have focused almost exclusively on erection, female sexual responses have proved much more difficult to quantify. How do you describe what is “normal”? And what do we diagnose as a “dysfunction,” when female sexuality has more than just the mechanical aspect to be taken into consideration. Psychological, sociocultural, and relationship factors are just as important.
