Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ben's difficulty maintaining an erection is only happening in a specific situation - during oral sex - indicating that this is a situational sexual dysfunction. If he were having difficulty maintaining an erection during all sexual activities, it may be classified as generalized sexual dysfunction. Responsive sexual desire refers to a person who becomes aroused only under specific circumstances. Erectile dysfunction refers to a person who consistently has difficulty maintaining an erection during sexual activity.
