Female Sexual Dysfunction

This may be because...

* you struggle to get aroused, or you don't get lubricated:
* you don't reach orgasm;
* you find sex uncomfortable or even painful;
* your sex drive is low, or much lower than your partner's;
* you don't trust your partner or feel emotionally close enough to enjoy sex.

Reasons for not experiencing a full and satisfying sex life can be either physical or psychological. The female sexual response is a complex mix of stimuli from how you were socialized regarding sex by your caretakers in childhood, to traumatic sexual experiences in the past, to what is happening in your body right now. Body image and self-esteem can also have a huge impact on whether you enjoy sex or not.

To have a spectacular sex life, it may be necessary for you to free yourself of preconceived ideas about beauty and sex. It is imperative that you learn what feels good to you in the moment and what you can do to maximize pleasure for youself and your partner. If you are willing to explore and experiment, it is likely that you can create the kind of sex that feels great on all levels - physically, emotionally, and even spiritually if you wish.

We are only really starting to understand and appreciate the complexity of female sexual response in recent years, including the interaction of the blood vessels and nerves in the pelvis, and how surgeries, childbirth, illnesses, medications, hormonal changes and aging may impact a woman's sex drive and sexual experience. Research into this area has become more focused of late and we are learning more about it every day.
