Page "Sexual dysfunction" Paragraph 67

In defining the range of sexual problems Masters and Johnson defined a boundary between dysfunction and deviations.

Dysfunctions were transitory and experienced by the majority of people, dysfunctions bounded male primary or secondary impotence, premature ejaculation, ejaculatory incompetence ; female primary orgasmic dysfunction and situational orgasmic dysfunction ; pain during intercourse ( dyspareunia ) and vaginismus.

According to Masters and Johnson sexual arousal and climax are a normal physiological process of every functionally intact adult, but despite being autonomic it can be inhibited.
