SEXUAL RELUTION IN MEN
There is a false belief that men are ready for sexuality at all times and under all conditions. Unfortunately, in our society, sexual reluctance is thought to be a problem specific to women only. However, sexual reluctance in men is a very common sexual problem. It is seen in 20% of men on average. If timely support is not received, it may cause sexual problems in the man and even his sexual partner, and sexual dysfunction in the future. Applications due to sexual reluctance in men are quite rare. They cannot cope with this problem and in later periods they present with this complaint, causing ejaculation problems (premature ejaculation) and erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men.

Sexual reluctance is the lack of desire for sexual activity despite having the ability to engage in sexual activity. Although the sexual reluctance seen in men is largely due to psychological reasons, it can sometimes develop due to physical (organic) reasons.

The reason for the man's sexual reluctance may be due to a problem in his sexual partner, or this sexual reluctance may cause sexual problems in his partner. The opposite is also possible. It may also occur due to relational reasons with the sexual partner. Therefore, it would be more accurate to evaluate this problem on a couple basis.
