Sexual dysfunction is largely subjective, and the

Before researching into what erectile dysfunction is, and how it came to be known as a condition; it is first important to understand the concept of medicalization. Medicalization is simply, “a process by which a nonmedical problem becomes defined and treated as a medical problem, usually in terms of illness and disorders” (Conrad 2007:4). Medicalization has been studied by sociologists since the 1960’s and there was a heavy focus on understanding the medicalization of deviance; which are disorders

body of both men and women when sexually aroused are referred to as the sexual response cycle. The sexual response cycle is divided into four separate phases which include excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. These changes are similar for both men and women.

Celebrities on television and movies, models on the covers of magazines, and even politicians have become sexual legends in the map of American society.

In addition, around 10% of men aged 40 to 70 years old have complete erectile dysfunction, yet very few seek medical help (O’Leary, Barada, & Costabile, 1996). Sexual dysfunction

The sexual response cycle is a Masters and Johnson’s model of sexual response which consists of four stages or phases. This model is founded on the theory that male and female sexual stimulation- their sexual response cycles- are very similar with obvious differences due to physical make up. The four phases are the excitement phase (initial phase for male and female), plateau phase, orgasmic phase, and the resolution phase. The phases fall in sequence from the beginning of stimulation up toward the
