Course Length: 3 Hours

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will analyze professional ethical codes and critical issues of privilege, power, and bias in diagnosing male sexual problems, and differentiate between distress, disease, and dysfunction to avoid over-pathologizing normal variation and ensure accurate, ethical diagnosis.
  2. Participants will accurately diagnose male sexual problems across desire, arousal, orgasm, and sexual pain domains, while comparing and contrasting DSM, ICD, ICSM, and other nosologies to recognize how differing frameworks inform diagnostic decisions.
  3. Participants will recognize the prevalence of common male sexual problems and develop awareness of atypical or less frequent sexual concerns, equipping them to accurately diagnose male sexual concerns across both typical and uncommon presentations.
