Sexuality and Sexual Dysfunctions

Dear Colleagues,

Sexuality, an inherent need and basic right of human beings, has unquestionably been part of the building of human ties as well as one of the concerns of not only sexologists but general practitioners and mental health professionals. The development of an increasing number of specific journals focusing on sexual issues, though still scarce, is one of our contemporary society's advantages. An individual’s quality of life is based on a balance between meeting needs and the vital project. Sexuality is an indispensable part of happiness and the becoming of the person as a social being in a permanent search for interaction, satisfaction, and pleasure. Therefore, the presence of sexual dysfunctions can contribute to a significant deterioration in expectations and self-esteem. However, one of the biggest limitations to the generalization of adequate sexual health is the lack of well-trained professionals who could contribute to increasing its benefits and work in public health systems all around the world. Research into, an understanding of, and approaches to these dysfunctions are basic aspects of general health whose implications in the appearance of frustrations, deterioration of the necessary links for emotional subsistence, and, lastly, the appearance of frequent pathologies related to physical and mental health cannot go unnoticed.
