For many people male or female psychological issues are a major cause for sexual dysfunction disorders. It has been said by many psychologists that the brain is the major control factory of the entire human body. It has also been assumed for many years that this would include the libido. We must remember that the brain makes the decisions with the aid of our lifetime of experiences and to some degree the information gathered from others.

When our brains are programmed to be against sex we are being programmed to have a sexual dysfunction. Whether or not we can overcome the ways we were taught growing up or give in to the way we were taught may sometimes require more help than we can give ourselves. In this case, we would rely on a professional to help us overcome the way we were raised. Some people are raised believing it is okay to have sex with anyone and everyone they come into contact with. These people will believe it to be okay to continue to have sex with anyone and everyone, yes even family members blood kin or not. There are people who are raised in a strict religious home and are taught that sex is of the devil and not to be done. If they have sex they are taught that they will go to hell and burn forever or die a very miserable death. These psychological traumas are harder to overcome without the help of a professional due to the programming beginning at an early age.

There is an old saying that may or may not hold true, which states that victims of sexual abuse become abusers. That is not to say that all abuse victims will go on to victimize it is just saying that the rate is higher in the victims. There is an increase in regards to sexual dysfunction amongst sexually abuse victims; hence a counselor is almost a requirement if the individual would like to return to their normal sexual psyche.

If you had a wonderful childhood with no victimizations and then get involved in a relationship that is not of a good/safe nature it can cause sexual dysfunctions to show. It is difficult to want to be with or to be with someone who has been belittling you or your sexual knowledge/ability, physical attributes, or mentality.

If you are in a power struggle with your mate this mate may not be right for you and you should consider getting out of the unhealthy relationship. All people should feel safe and secure in a relationship in order to have a healthy sexual life with their partner. That is baring any physical or other mental conditions which lead to a sexual dysfunction.
