 "Encyclopedia of Mental Health: Shyness"
In addition, behaviorally inhibited animals are more likely to be submissive, acquiescent, and more timid in their heterosexual interactions, patterns that are common in shyness and social phobia in humans.
Shyness may be defined experientially as discomfort and/or inhibition in interpersonal situations that interferes with pursuing one's interpersonal or professional goals.
Based on conditioning and ethological models of social phobia, the hypothesis has been advanced that a second-order general factor taps a common predispositional core that is a risk factor for the development of all the anxiety disorders, although other explanations are plausible.

 Female Sexual Dysfunction
Women who are more likely to suffer from female sexual dysfunction include those who are single, less educated, have physical or mental health problems, have undergone recent social or economic setbacks, or were dissatisfied with their relationship with a sexual partner.
Female sexual dysfunction is a lack of interest in sexual activity, repeated failure to attain or maintain sexual excitement, inability to attain an orgasm following sufficient arousal, pain during intercourse, involuntary vaginal spasms that interfere with penetration and genital pain following stimulation.
If sexual problems are new and the patient is recently postmenopausal, has undergone surgery, has developed a chronic medical condition, or is taking a new medication, the patient may want to discuss these changes with her doctor.

Empirical evidence of familial factors has been found in retrospective studies of the childhoods of social phobics relative to those of normal controls; these include criticism for not overcoming fears or embarrassing the family, fewer parental friendships, fewer family social activities, and teaching social skills by correction rather than modeling.
Being born timid, easily aroused, and not responsive to social engagement overtures leads to less frequent social interactions with parents, siblings, family and friends, thus promoting a shy response style.
It is notable, however, that the physiological or genetic predisposition to inhibition does not develop into shyness 25% of the time.

Conduct problems and oppositional behavior: Many children with severe social anxiety refuse to participate in social activities and may have behavioral outbursts or panic attacks when placed in a social situation.
Specifically, various anxiety disorders in childhood and adolescence have been associated with a temperament characterized by behavioral inhibition, including features of being shy, fearful, and withdrawn in new situations.
Current studies are underway to assess the possibility of preventing social anxiety disorders in shy, inhibited children who do not yet meet the criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis.

 Reconceptualizing Sexual Arousal
Sexual intercourse has always involved some vulnerability: attention is focused away from external cues for danger, one's partner can transmit a disease, and sexual activity can lead to destructive social consequences.
The new model of sexual arousal could explain why some people experience sexual dysfunction and others don't, even in similar circumstances--perhaps there is an inherent tendency toward high levels of inhibition that increases the vulnerability of some people in difficult circumstances.
Their theory is that men at the high-inhibition end of the scale will be inherently more prone to sexual dysfunction, while men at the low-inhibition end will be inherently more prone to high-risk and "problem" sexual behavior.
