Medications That Affect Sexual Function What is sexual dysfunction? Sexual dysfunction refers to a problem during any phase of the sexual response cycle that prevents the individual or couple from experiencing satisfaction from the sexual activity. The sexual response cycle has four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm and resolution. [link to "sexual response cycle] Sexual dysfunction can be caused by physical and emotional factors, or a combination of both. The side effects of some medications also can lead to sexual dysfunction. What are the types of sexual dysfunction? Sexual dysfunction generally is classified into four categories: Desire disorders — The lack of sexual desire or interest in sex Arousal disorders — The inability to become physically aroused during sexual activity, including problems achieving and maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction) Orgasm disorders — The delay or absence of orgasm (climax) Pain disorders — Pain during intercourse (This mostly affects women.) What medications can cause sexual dysfunction? Some prescription medications and even over-the-counter drugs can have an impact on sexual functioning.
