There are several factors that can impact a womans sexual activity and desire:
-
Hormones: Testosterone is the hormone that fuels sexual desire in both males and females, but men produce 10-20 times more testosterone than women. As a result, a womans sex drive is more diffuse and more easily affected by the events of the day and what is happening in her life in general than her male partners.
-
Relationship factors: A womans sexual interest normally peaks during the early months of a relationship when the typical female enhancers of romance, time spent together, mutual self-disclosure, and emotional intimacy are present in abundance, exerting a powerful effect on her libido.
-
Physical factors: Hormonal imbalances or changes, neurotransmitter problems, and health issues such as an illness, injury, or disability can all negatively affect sex drive.
-
Psychological factors: Depression, anxiety, stress, sexual guilt, or relationship problems can interfere with sexual interest.
-
Sexual dysfunction: Sexual dysfunction can cause marked distress in women and negatively impact their sexual activity.
-
Feeling sexually desirable: Feeling sexually desirable is one of the most important factors in female sexual desire. Women want (and need) to feel irresistible to want to have sex.
To have a happy and healthy sex life, women need to know what they like in the bedroom, and they can use personal lubricants and moisturizers or even topical vaginal treatments to improve vaginal dryness. If a woman is experiencing problems with sexual desire, its important to seek treatment as its a treatable condition that should be addressed.
