There is no univocal way to describe sexual desire, as far as it is more complex than any other sexual process. In general, a leading gender stereotype states that men are more interested in sex than women purely for physical reasons. Nowadays, it is slowly moving towards a holistic understanding of the sexual function in men and women. More than between genders, recent studies are now focusing on the variance within sexes and the differences inside the dyads highlighting the “couple discrepancy” as the most common sexual complaint for women. In case of Hypersexuality or extremely different sexual desire level we can face different situations and reactions. For example, effects of hypersexuality on partners can be severe and put strongly the relationship at risk. Some technical and clinical suggestions will be suggested during the lecture.

Abstract
There is no univocal way to describe sexual desire, as far as it is more complex than any other sexual process. In general, a leading gender stereotype states that men are more interested in sex than women purely for physical reasons. Nowadays, it is slowly moving towards a holistic understanding of the sexual function in men and women. More than between genders, recent studies are now focusing on the variance within sexes and the differences inside the dyads highlighting the “couple discrepancy” as the most common sexual complaint for women. In case of Hypersexuality or extremely different sexual desire level we can face different situations and reactions. For example, effects of hypersexuality on partners can be severe and put strongly the relationship at risk. Some technical and clinical suggestions will be suggested during the lecture.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
