Sexual arousal disorder

Sometimes, grown-ups might not feel like having sexy feelings even when they want to. This is called sexual arousal disorder. It means that their body does not respond in the way it should when they are trying to feel the good kind of squishy feelings. This can make it difficult for grown-ups to have sex and enjoy it like they would like to. It can happen to anyone, and there are many reasons why this can happen. Sometimes it might be because of medical problems, medications, stress or anxiety. But don't worry if a grown-up is experiencing sexual arousal disorder, because there are lots of ways to get help and feel better!
