Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD)
Individuals with a particularly low degree of sexual desire can be diagnosed with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). HSDD is characterized by the absence of sexual thoughts or desires, and the reluctance to engage in sexual activities, ultimately causing personal distress. The manifestation of personal distress due to the disorder is crucial for isolating individuals without HSDD and no distress from those suffering from HSDD and personal distress. HSDD has both psychological and physical consequences, ranging from anxiety, frustration and shame, to a poorer body image.

Those suffering from HSDD report significantly lower levels of sexual satisfaction as well as lower levels of overall relationship adjustment. Due to its adverse effects on an individual’s sexual satisfaction, HSDD has been shown to negatively affect a relationship overall.

Desire Discrepancy and Gender
There exist gender differences in the frequency of experiencing sexual desire, with men showing a higher frequency than women. Furthermore, there are gender differences in the causes attributed to sexual desire. Men are more likely to consider their sexual desire to stem from erotic environmental factors whereas women are more likely to view interpersonal factors and intimacy as playing a greater role in their sexual desire.
