Aversion to Sex; Sex Phobia

What does 'aversion' to sex or sex phobia mean?
A person with a sexual aversion disorder has an intense aversion to sexual contact or related experiences, for example seeing a penis, a vagina, seeing sperm or being touched. The aversion to sex is an extreme form of disorder in sexual arousal and is often combined with a reduced interest in making love.

What is the cause of a sexual aversion disorder, dislike of sex disorders?
Physical causes of this problem may originate in the hormonal regulation. The possibility of a-sexual persons is now being investigated. These are those who lack all interest in sexual contact, possibly because they lack a certain substance in their body.

There may be a specific aversion, for example to sperm, penises in erection, etc. Sexual violence, during childhood or at a later age, is often the cause of sexual aversion. Stress, alcohol and drug use, fear of pregnancy, depression and relation problems can cause aversion to sex.

Symptoms of Aversion to Sex
Sexual aversion or sexual antipathy has the following symptoms:
An intense antipathy/aversion to various forms of sexual contact, e.g. caressing, seeing sperm, kissing, seeing sex, etc.
The wish to end every sexual contact as quickly as possible.
Sometimes a need for intimacy before starting sexual contact.
The person suffers from this aversion. In the first meetings the sexologist will determine what the problem is, how long it has existed and if certain unpleasant sexual events have happened in the past.

Treatment of Aversion to Sex
Depending on the cause of the aversion to sexual behaviour a treatment is set up. A sexologist is specialized in this. Medication like anti-depressants can support the treatment. The aversion is often treated as anxiety attacks, that is through exposure. This means that they are exposed, little by little, to their fears so that these go away or gradually disappear under professional guidance. Psychological treatment that tries to influence the thoughts and feelings about sexual contact is also used. If sexual abuse or other traumatic experiences play a role it is important to do something about this and discuss it. Stress can be reduced by doing relaxation exercises and dealing with the causes of the stress. Relation therapy can be used in the case of relation problems or communication problems between the partners.

The patient seem to have developed some kind of "girl phobia" no matter how strange this may sound. The patients condition meets all the criteria of a classical phobia. Phobias are quite easy to treat. I treat patients with a successful, intensive method that leads to full recovery. The patient is confronted with the cause of his/her phobia. In your case, if there is no girl available, you can use your imagination.

The patient gets a strong attack of anxiety that abates. When the patient gets tired, the treatment is suspended and continues at the next meeting. The first time is the most difficult. After that it gets easier and easier. After a few sessions the patient is released from the phobia.
