Some of the more common sexual problems include

Premature Ejaculation By far the most common problem - some sources claim that it affects between 30 and 40 per cent of men at some time in their life. Put simply, premature ejaculation just means reaching a climax before you want to. Sometimes, the condition is so bad the man can't have sex because he ejaculates before he can get into his partner's vagina. This can be devastating for a man's self-confidence. There are many psychological reasons for premature ejaculation including anxiety about performance, being out of practice, even masturbation guilt

Erectile Dysfunction or Impotence Being unable to achieve or sustain an erection that's hard enough or lasts long enough to complete your chosen sexual activity satisfactorily. Many men never seek help either because they are not aware that help is available or they are too embarrassed to admit that they have a problem. There are many physical conditions that can lead to erectile difficulties and medical help should always be sought to rule out illness as a cause - some of these include

• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Coronary heart disease
• Surgery (e.g. pelvic)
• Spinal cord injury
• Hormonal problems
• Neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis

Once you have ruled out physical causes the most usual reason for impotence is stress and anxiety, including 'performance anxiety'. This can be due to relationship problems, maybe even a new relationship, general stress or anxiety at home or work, sexual boredom, even a leftover belief from childhood that sex is somehow dirty or wrong. If you are able to achieve and sustain an erection during masturbation but not when sex involves a partner then the problem IS anxiety and the fastest and best treatment is Pure Hypnoanalysis.

Vaginismus The involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles leading to painful sex, occasionally making penetration impossible usually due to fear, feelings of guilt or past sexual trauma. Even though you may want to have a full sexual relationship, something is holding you back and causing the intense anxiety that makes a pleasurable sexual experience seem like an impossibility. Some women with vaginismus even avoid going to the Doctor for routine medical examinations.... examinations that could prevent serious illness.

Anorgasmia Research suggests that 25% of sexually active women will have a problem reaching orgasm at some stage in their life. A further 25-35% may never have experienced orgasm. Difficulty reaching orgasm during intercourse is the norm. In fact, an estimated 70% of women don’t ever have penetrative orgasms. If you have exhausted all other ways of reaching orgasm, change of position, stimulation with either a finger or vibrator and ruling out medical causes then it is likely that anxiety is the cause.

Loss of Libido There are many reasons for losing the desire for sex, as with all of the above problems it is wise to check with your doctor that there are no physical reasons for it. The most common reasons, however, are lack of self esteem, performance anxiety, sexual boredom, guilt, even the misplaced belief that you are too old to be sexually active.
