Male Sexual Dysfunction: A vast area that needs more exploration and action!

Since the advent of nature, males have been regarded as the primary source of increasing the progeny of their generation. In this process, males suffer from a substantial internal pressure of performance and societal pressure to perform well regarding sexual activity. Females have always been considered passive recipients of sexual activity. However, with changing times, these viewpoints have been grossly changed. Both males and females should be active participants in enduring sexual activity, as it gives sexual pleasure and satisfaction to both partners (Addis and Mahalik, 2003).

In this regard, males and females can suffer from sexual dysfunctions. The prevalence of male sexual dysfunction (MSD) is more reported when compared to female sexual dysfunction, mostly because of the stigma attached to discussing openly sexual issues in females with any specialist unless asked. Society, media, and peer groups play a significant role in fixing the mindset of the males that they have to be sexually active with more stamina to last long with any female (Sullivan et al., 2015). Usually, it is said that masculinity is more if the stamina and performance of a male are more. There are several myths about masculinity (as mentioned in Box 1).
