Q: What is the relation between sexual and psychological problems? Will a sexual problem lead to a psychological problem too?
A:It is true that sex and psychological factors are very closely linked to each other. Factors like stress, tension, anxiety, etc. adversely affect the sex drive and sexual performance of males and females. It is very correctly said that the largest sex organ in the body is "brain". Yes, if there are sexual problems, they can lead to some psychological problem also.
