Is Sexual Aversion Disorder A Type Of Phobia?
Question: Do you see sexual aversion disorder as it is or is it like a phobia?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Sexual aversion disorder is characterized by a lack of desire, fear, revulsion, disgust, or similar emotions when the person with the disorder engages in genital contact with a partner.
It is not usually related to any phobia. Sexual aversion is considered a sexual dysfunction and the person has a lack or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity, as judged by a clinician.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
