Male sexual health is considered an important aspect for healthy males and yet, when experiencing problems, it is often the last area of health that men will access support.  Whether this avoidance is related to fear, embarrassment, fears of breaches of confidentiality, discrimination, or Stigma, male sexual health can be greatly influenced by both the physical and mental health of the individual.

Sexual health plays a crucial role for establishing and maintaining a healthy and satisfactory relationship. Various factors may affect the sexual functioning of an individual.  These factors include:

- Anxiety,
- Depression,
- Aging,
- Hormonal imbalance,
- Consumption of excessive alcohol, smoking, or other drug use,
- Medications

Sexual health is considered to be an integral part of being a confident and fulfilled individual as well as for emotional growth in a relationship, however, sexual health problems or issues are common in males and can induce psychological stress and relationship distress among couples.

The most common male sexual problems include erectile dysfunction, delayed ejaculation, premature ejaculation, performance anxiety, low libido, and low sexual desire. These problems can affect the happiness, confidence, self-esteem, confidence, and relationship satisfaction of both the male and his partner.

The World Health Organization (2002) describes Sexual health as a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being, related to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction, or infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected, and fulfilled.
