Sexual Dysfunction or sexual malfunction is the major Problem in reproduction due to the difficulty of an individual or couple during normal sexual activity with various reasons from each partner. Sexual dysfunction refers to a condition occurring during any time of the sexual response cycle that prevents the individual or couple from experiencing satisfaction from the sexual activity.

The sexual response cycle traditionally includes excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Desire and arousal are both part of the excitement phase of the sexual response. Sexual dysfunction may be due to physical or psychological conditions such as diabetes, heart and vascular (blood vessel) disease, neurological disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic diseases such as kidney or liver failure, and alcoholism, drug abuse, work-related stress and anxiety, concern about sexual performance, marital or relationship problems, depression, feelings of guilt, concerns about body image, and the effects of a past sexual trauma.
