"In contrast to the definition driven by Goldstein and others, Tiefer and colleagues are promoting a women-centred definition of sexual problems: “discontent or dissatisfaction with any emotional, physical, or relational aspect of sexual experience,” with four categories of causes: sociocultural, political, or economic; relationship related; psychological; and medical.5 “Sex is like dancing,” Tiefer told me during an interview in her Manhattan office, “If you break an ankle while you're dancing you go to a doctor. But your doctor doesn't take a dance history and wouldn't advise you whether your dancing is normal. The medical model is about defining what's healthy and what's sick—but sex isn't like that.”

Whereas "sexual experience" isn't only within the range of sexual intercourse. Female sexuality is not only functional for the intercourse, to say it in other words. Behavioural pornography, we may call it may be, as the authorities on health suggests: Body and mind relation which is shaped thoroughly through the education systems of the post-industrial revolution -should have some clues.
Yet the age of the personal computers, is another issue.

Why there isn't male sexual dysfunction, or female sexual impotence?

Medical models as well as therapeutical models, or better to say: methodologies, is the tip of the iceberg of the highly ideological side of our age. Methodology recalls analysis and critique but the model is not, it is fast delivered, fast consumed.
