Excerpt

“Sexual Dysfunctions, Female: Sexual problems are not always easy to define. How do you know if you have a sexual problem? Perhaps the clearest definition of a sexual problem is: dissatisfaction with any persistent aspect of your sexual performance, sensation, or satisfaction at any stage during the sex act (assuming you really care for your partner)”
