Chapter 12 discusses the recent changes in the classification and diagnostic criteria for sexual disorders. It clarifies that premature ejaculation remains its own disorder, and diagnoses are now gender-specific. The Male Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder has been defined to replace the previous categorization, while a new combined diagnosis for women, Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder, addresses both interest/desire and arousal deficits. Key criteria for these disorders have been clarified, including the time frame for deficiency in sexual fantasies and desires.
