The Plague of Sexual Dysfunction

 Sex, one of the primal drives of ‘man’, has evolved in many ways but remains largely

the same in other ways. Perusing through the pages of the Kama Sutra, one of the

oldest known sex manuals, will prove just that. Sex has been enjoyed for more than

procreation since the dawn of time. Sexual deviation has always existed. What defines

‘deviant’ sexual practice is largely determined by what society deems to be deviant.

Easterners and Westerners vary in their descriptions of ‘normal human sexuality’ still

today. In modern society it seems the boundaries are broadening. Although most

practices/deviations are not new they are more widely out in the open and therefore

possibly practiced more widely. It seems that there is no limit to what some will do in

the quest for sexual satisfaction. In the thoroughs of pleasure, common sense can be

elusive. Some practice more and more increasingly dangerous sexual practices in the

pursuit of pleasure. An example would be fisting which may be extremely pleasurable

to one but can cause bodily injury. With every ‘stretch of the limits’ the quest then

becomes for more stimulation. (Keep reading for the reason this can cause damage.)

The intensity for the pursuit of pleasure may have increased collectively since we have

determined that we deserve to be sexually satisfied.

Modern society is more and more accepting of sexual openness. In many ways this is a

big plus. Sexual dysfunction has come out of the dark and is finally being addressed.

Everyday we are bombarded with sexually oriented influences. This in turn may lead to

the pursuit of sexual education, development, and improvement in function, ability, and

result in the end-all be-all sexual experience. While the level of sexual satisfaction

should be determined by each individual, it is an ever changing and lifelong learning

lesson. This pleasure and enjoyment doesn't have to wane with age. A plethora of

educational materials, workshops, books, and self-help groups exist to aid in the

development of sexual pleasure and satisfaction.

Are we more sexually satisfied today? Yes, in many ways. Sexual education and

research have done much to improve our results. Modern medicine has even joined the

pursuit for sexual satisfaction, it is after all one of our most basic, fulfilling and

important needs. Commercials and advertisements for medications to improve male

and female sexual dysfunction are everywhere. Hooray!!

In light of the marvels of modern medicine a very interesting revelation has emerged.

Newman K. Lin, Ph.D.,PE of the Research Center For Multiple, Sexual Orgasms, located

in Boca Raton, Florida and author of : “Resonant Excitation Of Sexual Orgasms- Tao Of

Love Coupling”-a bridge between Eastern Taosim sexuality and the Western

Engineering Science has been involved in research involving the bioelectrical

processes of sexual orgasm. Combining ancient Eastern beliefs with current research in

the bioelectrical processes of sexual orgasm, Dr. Lin has determined that we are

damaging our sexual organs and responses by over use and abuse. There are

numerous case studies and testimonials documented on his website

http://www.actionlove.com/ . He theorizes that early sexual practices, including masterbation,

as well as the use of high powered vibrators create scar tissue and kill the surface

nerve endings of our pleasure centers. He also acknowledges the decrease in

hormones and use of medications and drugs as a factor in sexual dysfunction. The

theory is that while our nerve endings are the most sensitive when they first awaken in

puberty they become less and less sensitive as we over-use them. With decreased

sensation we are forced to use firmer pressure, larger toys, faster toys, and/or ‘deviant’

practices to achieve the same sensations as when the nerve endings were fully

functioning. The good part is that Dr. Lin offers solutions and cures for sexual

dysfunction for both men and women.

As I am a hedonist at heart, I truly wish everyone the ultimate in sexual pleasure and

experience as long as the pursuit for pleasure causes harm or damage to no one. But I

do offer this challenge, perhaps instead of trying harder we should try smarter. Afterall,

who doesn’t want to reach the epitome of sexual pleasure and lifelong function?
