Abstract

Sex is an adult human need, including for diabetic men. Irregular changes in the blood sugar level causes complex sexual disorders with a high incidence rate, but this has never been explored in-depth regarding the fundamental view of sex and their disorders. This study explored the subject of focus by conducting a qualitative research study using a phenomenology approach that aimed to explore diabetic men and how they perceived sex and sexual dysfunction at a General Hospital in Jakarta. In-depth interviews were conducted with 7 participants. The findings provide detailed information on two main themes; sexual perceptions and how the men perceive the associated dysfunction. It was concluded that sex is a primer and a secondary need. Dysfunction becomes a disturbance of the primer need and this affects the patient psychologically.
