It is normal for people to have sexual desire. The strength of sexual desire varies among different people and at different ages. A reasonable sex life is of great significance to a normal life, but excessive sex life is definitely not okay, especially for some women who suffer from sexual apathy, which greatly affects their normal life. So, why are women sexually apathetic nowadays? Let’s take a look below. 1. Drugs steal your libido Dr. Michael Krichman, a sexual medicine expert in California, said that oral contraceptives, anti-hypertensive drugs, anti-anxiety drugs, acid-suppressing drugs and antidepressants can affect women's sexual desire. It is recommended to ask about the side effects of the medication and take non-hormonal contraceptive measures. 2. 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 the Need for Intimacy" and professor of gender studies at the University of Virginia, recommends that there are only two things to do in bed: one is sleeping, and the other is making love. As long as you don't bring various "technical equipment" into the bedroom, you can restore sex to its original state. 3. Life is busy Juggling multiple jobs at home and outside the home, as well as the stress of modern life, can cause changes in women's hormone levels, disrupting their sexual response cycle and affecting their libido. Dr. Linda DeVillers, a sexologist in Los Angeles, suggests that arranging your life properly and taking a hot bath can help relieve stress, relax the body and mind, and improve the sex life of couples. 4. Out-of-shape body Gaining weight or becoming pregnant can cause body shape changes, which can cause psychological pressure on women and affect their sexual interest. Dr. Diville suggests that actively exercising to lose weight can help improve one's own sexual recognition and increase sexual desire. 5. Entering perimenopause Before menopause, estrogen levels drop, which affects sexual life. At this time, the lubrication of vaginal tissue is worse, dryness causes pain, and makes women afraid to have 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 creams or suppositories, or lubricants. 6. Husband’s sexual interest fades American sexologist Dr. Bob Berkowitz said that a husband's lack of sexual interest can also lead to his wife's sexual dysfunction. It is recommended that couples communicate and discuss countermeasures, and avoid blaming or doubting each other. For men, "sexual denial" is equivalent to "total denial". 7. Depression is causing trouble Depression can cause sexual interest to plummet, Clayton says. Some antidepressant medications can help improve your sex life, but some can make it harder to orgasm. It is recommended to consider psychotherapy and receive expert guidance to improve physical and mental health, which can promote genital blood flow. 8. The husband takes aphrodisiacs When a husband takes aphrodisiac drugs, he can engage in sex at any time, but it will take his wife longer to become sexually aroused. The contrast in sexual desire between husband and wife will be greater, which can easily lead to sexual frustration in women. Clayton suggests that couples open their hearts to discuss and communicate with each other to enhance mutual understanding and improve the quality of sex. 9. Excessive obsession with masturbation Dr. Diville said that the correct use of sex toys can help improve sexual experience, but excessive use can easily reduce the sensitivity to sexual stimulation, causing couples to feel that their sexual intercourse lacks intensity, and thus easily lead to a loss of interest in sex. Experts recommend that sexual toys be used in moderation. |
