The article addresses the main sexual disorders and infections affecting both men and women, exploring the evolution of human sexuality throughout history and highlighting contemporary challenges. Despite advances in understanding and accepting sexual diversity, taboos persist surrounding issues such as erectile dysfunction, lack of sexual desire, premature ejaculation, and pain during sex. Sexual education and access to adequate healthcare are crucial to addressing these issues and challenging social stigmas. Additionally, the article examines the issue of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which represent a global public health challenge. From ancient times to the present day, diseases like syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV/AIDS have impacted communities worldwide. Despite progress in understanding and treating STIs, they continue to pose a significant problem, especially in regions with limited healthcare access. The article also explores the main types of STIs, including chlamydia, HIV/AIDS, HPV, gonorrhea, genital herpes, syphilis, trichomoniasis, hepatitis, and molluscum contagiosum, as well as addressing sexual disorders/dysfunctions such as hypoactive sexual desire disorder, sexual aversion disorder, orgasmic headache, and persistent genital arousal disorder. Finally, it highlights the importance of awareness about sexual disorders and infections, recognizing their impact on quality of life and relationships. Prevention and proper treatment are essential to protecting sexual health and overall well-being, emphasizing the importance of seeking professional assistance in the face of any unprotected sexual activity.
