ICD-11

Hypoactive Sexual Desire Dysfunction is characterised by absence or marked reduction in desire or motivation to engage in sexual activity as manifested by any of the following: 1) reduced or absent spontaneous desire (sexual thoughts or fantasies); 2) reduced or absent responsive desire to erotic cues and stimulation; or 3) inability to sustain desire or interest in sexual activity once initiated. The pattern of diminished or absent spontaneous or responsive desire or inability to sustain desire or interest in sexual activity has occurred episodically or persistently over a period at least several months, and is associated with clinically significant distress.

The onset of hypoactive sexual desire dysfunction has followed a period of time during which the person did not experience it and the desired response is currently absent or diminished in some circumstances, with some partners, or in response to some stimuli, but not in other situations.
