Anxious anticipation syndrome
Mental health Anxiety anticipation syndrome is one of the most universal sexopathological syndromes, which is very often diagnosed in men who seek sexological help. Anxiety anticipation syndrome of sexual failure (ASFS) is an obsessive-phobic neurological disorder. A situation in which sexual intercourse in some parameters does not correspond to social stereotypes is regarded by some people as stressful, which carries some threat to personal well-being and successful interpersonal interaction. According to recent studies, they are 31% in men and 43% in women. In addition to real sexual dysfunctions, imaginary sexual disorders can occur, when a man or woman considers themselves sick, but in reality they are not.
