Abstract
Sexual dysfunctions are common in both males and females and tend to increase with age. Much of this can be put down to lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol use, inactivity, obesity, and depression. While medication can help in some cases, several well-known and often prescribed medications (e.g., antidepressants) are known to have adverse effects on sexual function. Primary and secondary prevention through healthy lifestyle patterns should be the main aim of the clinician.
