Sexual Aversion
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Sexual aversion is a persistent and marked rejection of sexual activity, which may be accompanied by anxiety, intense discomfort, or the desire to avoid intimate contact. It goes beyond an occasional lack of interest.
How it manifests: Emotional distress may appear at the possibility of a sexual encounter, tension in the couple relationship, and, at times, physical sensations of anguish.
Possible factors: It is usually related to previous experiences, emotional factors, stress, or aspects of the relationship, and it is advisable to address it without judgment.
Which specialist treats it? The sexologist specializes in sexual health, and the psychologist or the psychoanalyst support the emotional component; the psychiatrist may join when there is significant anxiety. If this situation affects your well-being or your relationship, seeking professional support allows you to understand it calmly.
