The study also found that sexual problems were found more often in younger women and older men. In both sexes, dysfunction was found to be related to emotional or stress related problems, poor quality of life, poor physical health and prior sexual trauma. It was found that married couples were the most likely not to experience sexual dysfunction. The authors of the study believe that the increased interest by the public in sexual dysfunction is in large part to technological and scientific advances in treatments. With more choices and improved treatment, more people suffering from these problems will be willing to ask for help.
