  • Erectile dysfunction is the inability of a male to achieve or maintain an erection.
    • Viagra treats erectile dysfunction by increasing the flow of blood through a man's penis, producing an erection relatively quickly.
    • Critics of Viagra suggest that the drug may be used without consideration for the underlying condition that produced the sexual problem.
  • In premature ejaculation, a male is unable to delay orgasm as long as he wishes.
    • Premature ejaculation is most often a psychological problem, since there are rarely physical reasons for it.
  • Inhibited ejaculation is the opposite problem. In this case, the male is unable to ejaculate when he wants to, if at all.
  • Some women experience anorgasmia, or a lack of orgasm.
    • The lack of orgasm during sexual intercourse is common; therefore it is not considered dysfunctional.
  • Finally, inhibited sexual desire occurs when the motivation for sexual activity is restrained or lacking entirely.
