Sexual dysfunction on the rise
February 17, 2007
Sexual disorders like erectile dysfunction are
increasing among Indian men and such problems are more among BPO
professionals, according to sexologist Dr Prakash Kothari.
This would be one of the topics to come up for discussion at the
two-day international sexology conference, beginning here Saturday,
he told reporters here.
He said changes in food habits of BPO employees, especially intake
of more refined carbohydrates, mostly at unusual hours, was resulting
in sexual disorders among them. This was affecting their health
and physical activities.
Another factor causing sexual problems among BPO employees was
stress due to work pressure and lack of time to relax, an issue
which would be discussed in detail at the conference, he said.
Dr T Kamaraj of the Indian Institute of Sexual Medicine, which
is organisng the meet, said about three crore Indian men were estimated
to have erectile dysfunction. This was due to the increasing prevalence
of diabetes.
Kamaraj said the focus of the conference would be on sexual
dysfunction, disorders and infertility, besides discussions
on removing misconceptions about sex and educating people to live
a sexually healthy and happy life. Treatment of Sexually Transmitted
Diseases would also be discussed.
Dr Jayarani, a sexologist, said increasing divorce, psychosexual
aspect of women, female sexual
problems and marital problems would also be discussed.
