Abstract
This article presents an analysis of the literature on sexual dysfunction and adverse childhood experiences. There is a lot of research that proves the obvious link between an adverse childhood experience and general health and well-being. Our aim is to study the correlation between sexual disorders and Adverse Childhood Experience more, taking into account ethnic characteristics, and the emphasis on sexual behavior in the family. Articles for literature analysis were searched on Google Scholar and PubMed online platforms. English-language peer-reviewed articles published in 1992-2020 were used. Therefore, according to the literature data analysis and our clinical experience, for the prevention, correct diagnosis and effective treatment of sexual disorders, it is necessary to study in more depth the connection between childhood adversities and sexual manifestations which can lead to sexual disorders in the future.
