People searching for Asexual disorder in the DSM will be disappointed, as Asexuality is not listed as a condition in the book. People thinking that this means Asexuality is not listed under another name are incorrect. Asexuals can be and are diagnosed with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. If a person wants to understand the issues surrounding the pathologization of Asexuality, he can find information on Asexual Explorations. The Asexual Explorations site's blog discusses the history of HSDD and several attempts to remove HSDD from the DSM.

In a childfree community I'm a member of on LJ, the topic of vaginismus came up. Never having heard of it before, I looked it up, just out of curiosity. Then I looked it up again, this time, to get some more information on it. A site I clicked on has this on the right side of the page, "Vaginismus is a common cause of ongoing sexual pain and is also the primary female cause of sexless marriages". Which, to me, seems to be ignoring the fact that not all women, even married women, want sex.
