"Preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires." This was proposed by Zhu Xi, the acting master of Song Dynasty. Because of its irrationality, it was later criticized and resisted by people. Even so, to this day, people are still not encouraged to indulge in sexual desires. Only by restraining their desires within a reasonable range can it be accepted by others.

This is true even for men, let alone women. Looking back at women today, there are two extreme groups. One is a woman who frantically expresses her desires, while the other is a woman with low sexual desire or no sexual desire at all. I will not comment on the former type of women here. After all, everyone has their own way of choosing their own life. What needs attention here is the group of women with low sexual desire. Why do these women have low sexual desire?

Why do women have low sexual desire?

Long-term low sexual desire, inability to reach orgasm, and painful intercourse are very common among women all over the world. Most people attribute it to the heavy burden of work, children, and housework. However, Professor Xuan Xujun, director of the andrology department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (expert appointment) pointed out that research shows that the decline in female sexual desire may be related to the following two factors:

1. Mysophobia

Many women love cleanliness too much and like to use excessive amounts of vaginal cleansers to clean their vaginas, which will destroy the natural acid-base environment in the vagina.

2. Taking birth control pills

Oral contraceptive pills are one of the most commonly used contraceptive methods for women. They are highly effective and easy to use. However, as a sex hormone drug, it breaks the body's normal hormone balance and affects the secretion of male and female hormones, which will reduce the secretion of vaginal lubricating fluid and cause discomfort or pain due to dryness during sexual intercourse.

These are the symptoms of female sexual dysfunction

Female sexual dysfunction can be divided into four major categories according to the stage of the sexual response cycle, namely sexual desire disorder, sexual arousal disorder, orgasmic disorder and penetration disorder.

1. Low or decreased sexual desire generally indicates a lack of interest in sex life and sexual behavior;

2. The most common type of sexual arousal disorder is physiological sexual arousal disorder. Even if the patient is stimulated by the outside world, it is difficult for the vagina to be moist;

3. Orgasmic disorder is of greater concern to modern people. It manifests itself in the climax stage, when patients cannot reach or delay orgasm;

4. The last type is penetration disorder, which has obvious symptoms. That is, the patient experiences pain, spasm and other sensations due to penis insertion during sexual intercourse, and is ultimately unable to complete sexual intercourse.
