worry, or anxiety related to sexual activity. These feelings can be caused by sexual dysfunctions, stress, negative experiences from the past, or a variety of other factors."

People may experience severe anxiety as a result of it, and they may even avoid sexual activity. That said, the most important factor to consider is the importance of communication.
