Sexual problems in men can involve desire, arousal, erections, climax, pain or satisfaction. Physical health, medicines, relationships and emotions often interact. A conversation with the GP can clarify causes and suitable help.
- Less or no desire for sex, or a distressingly strong sexual urge.
- Difficulty getting or keeping an erection sufficient for the sexual activity you want.
- Calmly discuss wishes, boundaries and pace, and do not make penetration the only measure of satisfying sex.
- Allow enough time for stimulation and use a suitable lubricant if needed.
- Make an appointment if a sexual problem keeps recurring, causes pain or interferes with your life or relationship.
- For urgent GP care outside normal opening hours, call HAP 9252. Call Ambulance 912 only for an immediately life-threatening situation.
