SEXUAL DISORDERS IN FEMALES
Sexual disorders in men as well as women are common and for some, especially women, it may have become a way of life, unreported and unacknowledged; unfortunately, therefore, many such disorders go untreated.
Mostly, such sex disorders in women are temporary or in a cycle of desire and loss of desire, depending upon the time, mood and relationship with her partner and the conditions prevailing in her household, her health and ultimately, her current mindset.
Relationship problem, such as indifferent partner, cheating on her, finance, bringing up children and regular quarrel and arguments prevents the women in having sex with her man or even opening herself about sex related problems to him.
Lactating, or a mother to a newborn generally do not like indulging in sex.
Emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, guilt or any feelings of disturbance may interfere in her sexual performance.
Diseases and illnesses may also be the causes to sexual problems. Most diseases keep the body and the mind in an uncomfortable state. For instance, terminal disease like cancer may never allow a woman to have sex; it distresses the body as well as the mind. Illnesses may show temporary symptoms and is reversible.
Vaginal infection such as yeast infection or STD may make sex unpleasant to a woman.
Injuries, such as spinal surgery or irrecoverable injury may also be the cause of women’s sexual problem.
Medication is another supplementary cause too; major being the disease or the illness due to which the medication is being taken for its cure.
Unhealthy life style such as smoking, alcohol or drugs intake may interfere with the sex life of a woman.
Sexual abuse or rape in the past may dampen her desire for sex later in life. The experience is traumatic and distressing all her life.
Unfortunately, some people belonging to extreme religious groups, view sex as taboo and indulge in sex only as a duty to her husband and to the family. They derive least pleasure from sex and find it only a way of having a successor in the family.
Partner without warmth, emotion, or himself with sexual dysfunction diminishes the desire in a woman to have sex. Mostly they resign to their fate and accept a life without sex.
Menopause may add to the dryness of the vagina but not necessarily impair the desire for sex in a woman. Menopause sometimes sends a signal of safe sex and the woman may feel free to have sex without worrying about conception. The sensitivity and pleasure of the clitoris does not diminish with time. However, menopause causes decrease in the level of estrogens which may be the cause of low sex drive in women.
Low hormone levels of estrogens, testosterone, and adrenalin could be another cause too.
Ageing women generally lose interest in sex due to low level of androgens. Exhaustion is another cause in ageing women.
Sometimes, lack of knowledge of the partner or insufficient stimulation and foreplay prevents women from the arousal stage. This sends a signal of sexual problem, which may not be true. Only a little effort by the partner may set things right and the women may once again feel loved and cared, turning her on and rekindle her desire to have sex.
Lack of privacy, such as living in a joint family or insufficient rooms to the couple may add to this problem.
All the above and many more could be the reasons for sexual disorder in a female.
Genetics and family background greatly influences a woman in her desire, to have sex. Family with a history of sexual disorder, lack of intelligence and mental sharpness will have females with lesser desire for sex and with a very little imagination in how to perform in bed. Women from such families are very loyal and very good homemakers. They have a strong urge to have children for the sake of completing their family and sex is limited to this family duty only. Otherwise, sex as pleasure and bedroom game is taboo and a sin. Women use up their energy in bringing up children and pleasing their husbands or partners with their culinary art and other home improving activities. In the process, they do not understand the desire and the urge of their partner to have sex and romance too. This puts a strain in the relationship and it may seem to her partner, his woman is suffering from sexual dysfunction. Conversely, woman from a healthy and intelligent family will want to experience and explore all possibilities of pleasurable sex. They are open and may discuss sex with their partners and exchange views about sex, with their girlfriends for the sake of evaluating their sex life. They explore and experience sex as a way of life and put it into practice. However, such women sometimes may show sign of disloyalty or a desire to have sex elsewhere too. This may happen mostly when the partner is unable to perform in bed as well as she does. Unfortunately, when the partners of such sexually active women perform poorly in bed, they mostly lose interest in sex and show sign of sexual dysfunction in course of time.
A woman should remember that nature made her perfect, unless there was a trauma, disease, genetic deficiency or any circumstances leading her to forgo and lose interest in sex. She and only she can find a cure to her sexual problem, unless she prefers to be content, with her way of life by ignoring her partner’s desire for sex and romance. Her partner may find ways to gratify his sexual needs elsewhere, which may put a great deal of strain in the relationship. Women generally are unreasonable here. They may not want sex themselves and put a restriction on their partner in having sex elsewhere.
