2. Emotional sexual well-being: Everything about how you feel about yourself has everything to do with your whole life. Since the early 2000s, treatments for low testosterone, or "low T", have been gaining popularity. From 2001 to 2011, testosterone use in the United States tripled, and hundreds of testosterone clinics emerged to capitalize on this trend.² The goal of testosterone therapy is to accurately making a diagnosis, listening to all of a patient's symptoms, and properly tailoring treatment regimens with the follow up protocols. A lot of time, men has doubt and questions about their manhood, hence, emotional well-being can have a high effect on a person's well-being which also effect people around them.

Everything about how you feel and perceive about yourself; who you were, who you are and who you want to be can effect the whole life of a person.

4. Interperson Sexual Well-being: interpersonal of sexuality is remarkable because people most often have sex in a relationship. It is important to go beyond individual factors and take into account relational and contextual variables, which may act as risk and protective factors for developing, maintaining, and exacerbating sexual problems.⁶ Linking sexual and nonsexual aspects of interpersonal relationships and including data of individuals is necessary for a clearer insight into the nature of sexual behaviour, characteristics and dysfunctions.

5. Social Sexual Well-being: Social well-being is an end state in which basic human needs are met and people are able to coexist peacefully in communities with opportunities for advancement. Sometimes individual's needs can not meet with social standard or norm and it effect our well-being directly. We know for and there are evidences that there are relationships between sexual desire between human being, objects and sometimes abstracts. While we have a neutral-to-positive view on people gathering together for home party, sex party, and different kinds of fetishes there are certain social norms and ethics that has to be discussed.

While approximately 50% of men will experience some form of ED³, only approximately 25% actively seek consultation.⁴ This discrepancy is partially due to the social stigma in society surrounding men's open discussion of ED, preventing men from confiding with healthcare professionals and obtaining the help that they need.⁵ This is exactly the area of healthcare that telemedicine seeks to address. By providing personalized care to patients within the privacy of a patient's home, telemedicine companies are able to deliver healthcare services to patients seeking consultations regarding topics that had previously been considered too shameful to address in a public space.
