For a DSM-V diagnosis, hypoactive sexual desire must be established when the patient has had a persistent decrease or even loss of sexual interest or activity for at least six months, with an impact on life status or interpersonal interactions that causes clinically significant distress.
And the sexual dysfunction cannot be better explained by other non-sexual psychiatric disorders, or as a result of severe relationship distress or other significant stressors, nor can it be attributed to the effects of substances/medications or other somatic illnesses.
In the case of temporary, mildly non-life- and interpersonal-interfering hypersexuality, it is not currently considered a disorder requiring intervention and may improve with the withdrawal of certain stimuli.
