Document Summary

There are also directionality problems to this theory: historical causes. Religious orthodoxy: some conservative religious upbringing styles look suspiciously at sexuality for the sake of pleasure, particularly outside marriage. Many of the patients had negative sexuality as a consequence. Psychosexual trauma: traced to rape or other degrading encounters. Homosexual inclination: sexual enjoyment is understandably less if a person with homosexual inclination tries to engage in heterosexual sex. Inadequate counselling: comments made by professionals that are incorrect and destructive. Excessive intake of alcohol will cause erectile problems. Sociocultural factors: expectations and concerns differ between women and men as a function of social class (men have the demand of society to take the initiative) Sex therapists began to see people whose relationships were seriously impaired. Negative thoughts and emotions can intrude into sexual situation and inhibit arousal and pleasure. Secondary gain when there is occasional sabotaging.
