Explain how fatigue and stress cause sexual function difficulties and dissatisfaction.

What will be an ideal response?


Many sexual function difficulties and dissatisfaction have fairly simple causes. Individuals may find themselves physically exhausted from the demands of daily life. They may bring their fatigue into the bedroom in the form of sexual apathy or disinterest. Long-term stress can also contribute to lowered sexual drive and reduced responsiveness. A person preoccupied with making financial ends meet, raising children, or coping with prolonged illness, for example, can temporarily lose sexual desire.
