Paraphilias are problems with controlling impulses
that are characterized by recurrent and intense sexual fantasies,
urges, and behaviors involving unusual objects, activities, or
situations not considered sexually arousing to others.
Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a small organism called Trichomonas vaginalis.
Human papillomavirus or HPV is an easily
transmitted virus that causes genital warts. Because it also increases
risk of cervical or penile cancer, it’s good to get an annual checkup.

Intercourse pain, or dyspareunia, can cause
problems in a couple's sexual relationship. In addition to the
physically painful sex, there is also the possibility of negative
emotional effects, so the problem should be addressed as soon as it
becomes evident.
Vaginitis is infection or inflammation of the
vagina. It can cause itching and burning, a change in vaginal discharge,
and sometimes pain during sex.
When a woman has vaginismus, the muscle walls of
her vagina contract or spasm in response to attempted insertion, for
example, with a tampon or penis

drive and performance. But low testosterone can reduce your ability to
have satisfying sex.
