Sexual Reluctance in Men

Applications made with complaints of sexual reluctance in men are very rare. The most important reason for this is that the decrease in sexual desire and interest often causes erectile dysfunction and men mostly apply with the complaint of erectile insufficiency (inability to get an erection). In addition, another factor that reduces the frequency of applications is the sexual myth that "men are always ready for sexuality under all conditions". Such false, exaggerated information and expectations prevent men from engaging in help-seeking behavior.

Sexual interest and desire disorders manifest themselves in the form of "decreased sexual desire" in men. It is the situation where there is no desire for sexual activity, although the ability for sexual activity is strong. In addition, since the need for sexual intercourse and satisfaction varies greatly between individuals, each individual and couple should be evaluated individually. People with desire problems generally have strong egos and try to protect them from unconscious sexual conflicts by inhibiting their desires. However, sexual reluctance is mostly used to mask another sexual dysfunction.

The factors that ensure that the level of desire is sufficient in the evaluation of sexual desire; biological drive, sufficient self-esteem, positive past experiences with sexuality, and good communication with the partner other than sexuality. If any of these factors is impaired, sexual desire will also be impaired.
