Prevention
Open, informative, and accurate communication regarding sexual issues and body image between parents and their children may prevent children from developing anxiety or guilt about sex and helps them develop healthy sexual relationships.
Review all medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, for possible side effects that relate to sexual dysfunction. Avoiding drug and alcohol abuse will also help prevent sexual dysfunction.
Couples who are open and honest about their sexual preferences and feelings are more likely to avoid some sexual dysfunction. If your partner doesn't know what you want, he or she can't give it to you.
People who are victims of sexual trauma, such as sexual abuse or rape at any age, are recommended to seek psychiatric advice. Individual conseling with an expert in trauma may prove beneficial in allowing them to overcome their sexual difficulties and enjoy voluntary sexual experiences with a partner of their choice.
