Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This disorder is characterized by a persistent and recurrent lack of sexual fantasies or desire for sexual activity, causing significant distress or interpersonal difficulty. The fact that these men report never having had much interest in sex, even privately, suggests a lifelong pattern of hypoactive sexual desire. The other options, situational sexual desire disorder, acquired male hypoactive sexual desire disorder, and generalized sexual desire disorder, may not be as fitting as they do not match the presented symptoms.
