Abstract
Sexual dysfunction in men can be manifold. Purely mechanical disorders of seminal deposition due to anatomy are to be differentiated from functional libido and orgasmic disorders, from ejaculation problems or the inability to achieve or maintain erections. While pure orgasmic disturbances are almost in all cases due to psychological or psychiatric causes, libido and erectile dysfunction may also have hormonal causes and thus be symptoms of androgen deficiency. Additional clinical symptoms of hypogonadism or objectifiable findings such as testicular atrophy, changes in secondary sexual characteristics, or ejaculate volume allow the organic genesis to be identified in pronounced cases, while in other cases the corresponding indications must be actively sought. Thus, while functional orgasmic and libido disorders are the domain of psychological psychiatric or endocrinological therapeutic approaches, this chapter deals primarily with disorders of seminal deposition and functionally or organically caused disorders of cohabitation.
