With the in-depth research on sexual dysfunction, it has been found that some patients who have not been successfully treated have subconscious repression of sexual desire. This repression is often related to early experiences, and it can span a long time and affect adulthood. sexual function.

Sexual dysfunction may be related to sexual awareness

There was a patient with primary hyposexuality. His parents had been at odds with each other since he was a child, and they were often noisy. However, they gave birth to 11 children in a row. The patient believed that his parents were "just like pigs, leading an emotionless sex life." Since then, he has been silently suppressing the "animal sexual desire" "inherited" from his parents, and has no interest in sex life at all. There is also a female patient with low sexual desire. When she was a child, she went to the hospital with her mother. When she passed by the delivery room, she heard the mother yelling. Her mother told her that giving birth is the most painful thing for a woman. After getting married, she had no interest in sex life and had pain during sexual intercourse every time.

The subconscious is the spiritual life that an individual cannot perceive. It is composed of human physical desires and impulses and has a strong storage of psychological energy. This kind of stored charge always strives to penetrate into the consciousness, causing excitement and tension in the consciousness. There was an impotence patient who had strong sexual desire when he was 20 years old, and had erections and nocturnal emissions. However, after getting a girlfriend, these phenomena disappeared. It turned out that he had a very deep affection for his mother. When his mother died in an accident when he was a teenager, he was extremely sad. His wife and mother were similar in behavior and conversation. Although he was not aware of any connection between them, subconsciously, the patient found his long-lost mother. The Oedipus complex inhibited his erectile function and sexual desire, resulting in Impotence.

The conflict between people's desire and control desire often causes a diffuse sense of fear, which is called "anxiety" in psychology. Anxiety can cause people to develop many psychological defense mechanisms, the most important of which is repression, which can almost completely conceal psychological conflicts and prevent us from realizing their existence. There was a patient who was the last in the family and relied on his mother for everything. After marriage, everything is handled by the wife. During the honeymoon, he also had sexual urges, but later became apathetic and impotent. His wife urged him to seek medical treatment, but he was not urgent about it and did not care whether he had sex or not. Psychological analysis found that there was no consciousness of husband or man in his heart. His awareness of the marital relationship has certain connotations that others do not have: L's family today is a continuation of his childhood family, and he has transferred his past attachment to his mother to his wife. To him, his wife is not a sexual partner in the marriage bed, but an object of dependence, a mother who cannot be "incested". The "incest fear" inherent in his consciousness stifled his sexual desire and his early instinctive impulses.

When psychological defense mechanisms become prominent, they can dominate a person's personality and development and damage his or her physiological functions. The nature and intensity of these psychological conflicts depend on childhood upbringing and parental attitudes. The way to solve subconscious resistance is to identify suppressed emotions and guide them into the conscious realm, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating suppression. Therefore, patients whose sexual dysfunction cannot be cured for a long time should seek treatment in psychosexual therapy outpatient clinics or psychiatry and psychological departments of large hospitals, so that their unspeakable secrets can be relieved as soon as possible.
