Sexual Aversion Disorder (SAD) is one of two Sexual Desire Disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and is defined as a "persistent or recurrent extreme aversion to, and avoidance of, all or almost all, genital sexual contact with a sexual partner" which causes distress or interpersonal difficulty.
Treatment options for sexual aversion or avoidance can include various forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. These therapies aim to address the underlying psychological factors contributing to the aversion or avoidance.
In some cases, couples therapy might be beneficial to address relationship issues that could be impacting the individual's feelings towards sex. Additionally, medical professionals might explore any potential physical causes for the aversion, and if necessary, medical treatments or medications could be considered.
It's important for individuals experiencing sexual aversion or avoidance to consult with a qualified healthcare provider or mental health professional who can assess their specific situation and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
