Women with Low Sex Drive
In my practice, I frequently work with women with low sex drive. In fact, problems with libido are common.
Some women complain that they don't want sex as frequently as their partners do; others say that they rarely feel like making love. This often leads to personal, sexual and relationship dissatisfaction ~ and even contribute to rising divorce rates.Image: Thinkstock Low libido in women can be successfully managed if both partners are willing to contribute to the solution, rather than remaining focused on the problem. It starts with re-establishing goodwill between partners and following practical strategies that allow partners to work together to get their needs met while feeling good about themselves and each other. It's important to have a good understanding of what is realistic and to be willing to explore sexual options. The best outcome is that the bedroom is transformed from a battleground to a playground once more. And isn't that worth the effort?
Sources of Sexual Desire
Human sexual desire is created from a number of different sources ~ some biological and some psychological. Biological sources of sex drive include neurological factors such as the brain and the nervous system of the body, hormones (and especially testosterone in both men and women), and general physical well-being. Psychological sources of sex drive include what you think and how you feel about yourself as a sexual being. Your lifestyle and environment impact greatly on your sexual interest. The state of your relationship is also an important psychological factor in a woman's sexual desire. Managing low desire requires insight into all these factors.
Libido Enhancers for Women
While there are no quick-fix recipes for women with low sex drive, a good place to start is to note what are generally accepted as female enhancers. These include,* Romantic gestures (cards, flowers, gifts, compliment);
* Communication;
* Intimacy;
* Non-demanding affection;
* Sensuality;
* Quality time spent with her partner; and
* Low level of conflict. For a woman to have a sustained and enthusiastic interest in sex, her enhancer needs must be met on a daily basis. Sporadic romantic gestures will just not be enough. Also keep in mind that the role played by hormones is huge. Any impairment in physical wellbeing may reduce sexual interest and has to be treated first and foremost. The quality of sex is also an important factor. When sex is working well, it can be a terrific goodie for loving couples.
