Experts summarize the top ten reasons why women are sexually apathetic
A survey released by American gender research experts shows that the incidence of sexual frigidity in women is about 30%-40%, which means that one in every three women has experienced sexual frigidity. To this end, the American "Health" magazine invited many experts to summarize for readers "10 thieves who steal women's sexual desire."
Drugs steal sexual desire. Dr. Michael Krichman, a sexual medicine expert in California, said oral contraceptives, antihypertensive drugs, anti-anxiety drugs, acid-suppressing drugs and antidepressants can all affect women's sexual desire. It is recommended that you ask about the side effects of the medication and use non-hormonal contraceptive measures.
Electronic products invade the bedroom. Television, computers, mobile phones, etc. "invading" the bedroom will not only cause insomnia, but also affect sex. Dr. Anita H. Clayton, author of "Women, Sex, and Intimacy Needs" and professor of gender studies at the University of Virginia, recommends that you should only do two things in bed: sleep and have sex. As long as you don't bring all kinds of "technical equipment" into the bedroom, it's possible to return to the true nature of sex.
Life is busy. Working multiple jobs at home and outside the home, as well as the stress of modern life, will cause changes in female hormone levels, disrupt the sexual response cycle, and affect sexual desire. Dr. Linda Deweiler, a sexologist in Los Angeles, suggests that arranging your life reasonably and taking a hot bath can help relieve stress, relax your body and mind, and improve your sexual life as a couple.
Out of shape body shape. Body shape changes caused by gaining weight or pregnancy can cause psychological pressure on women, which in turn affects their sexual interest. Dr. Duweiler suggests that active exercise to lose weight can help improve your sexual recognition and increase your sexual desire.
Entering perimenopause. Before menopause, estrogen levels drop, affecting your sex life. At this time, the lubrication of vaginal tissue is even worse, and dryness causes pain, which in turn makes women afraid of having sex. It is recommended that you discuss the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy with your doctor. If you have vaginal dryness, you can use estrogen ointments or suppositories, or lubricants.
The husband's sexual interest has faded. American sexologist Dr. Bob Berkowitz said that a husband's lack of sexual interest can also lead to his wife's sexual desire disorder. It is recommended that couples communicate and discuss countermeasures, and avoid blaming or doubting. For men, "sexual denial" means "total denial."
Depression is causing trouble. Clayton says depression can lead to a sudden loss of sexual interest. Some antidepressant medications can help improve your sex life, but some can make it difficult to achieve orgasm. It is recommended to consider psychotherapy and receive expert guidance to improve physical and mental health, which can promote blood flow to the genitals.
The husband takes sexual aids. A husband who takes sexual aids can engage in sex at any time, but it takes longer for his wife to become sexually aroused. The contrast in sexual desire between husband and wife will be greater, which can easily lead to frustration of female sexual desire. Clayton suggests that couples open their hearts to discuss and communicate with each other to enhance mutual understanding and improve the quality of sex.
Excessive obsession with masturbation. Dr. Duweiler said that the correct use of sex toys can help improve sexual feelings, but excessive use can easily reduce the sensitivity to sexual stimulation, making couples feel that the intensity of sexual intercourse is lacking, and then they can easily lose sexual interest. Experts suggest that sex toys should be used only in moderation.
Suffering from fatigue and illness. Low libido in some women is caused by endocrine problems such as thyroid problems. Conditions such as fibroids, anemia, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis can affect mood and cause fatigue or pain. Experts recommend paying attention to disease symptoms, treating illnesses as early as possible, eliminating fatigue and discomfort, and restoring healthy sex.
