No Desire, Low Desire, Orgasms, PE and Pain (Helping Heterosexual Couples) To treat sexual dysfunction or dissatisfaction effectively, it is helpful to understand how that dysfunction or dissatisfaction developed. In this course the cause will be organized into three categories. First, “predisposing factors” which are those prior life experiences (e.g., childhood sexual trauma) and inherited characteristics (e.g., diabetes) that make a person vulnerable to certain types of sexual dysfunction. Second, “precipitating” (or triggering) factors (e.g., stress associated with job difficulties) are those life events and experiences associated with the initial onset of a symptom or dysfunction. Third, “maintaining” factors (e.g., lack of privacy, performance anxiety) are those ongoing life circumstances or physical conditions that help to explain why a dysfunction persists.
