Female sex problems

Pain during sexAlso known as dyspareunia, pain during sex can be very common, particularly in women who have gone through or are going through the menopause. It can also be due to poor lubrication during sexual intimacy which may be psychologically linked.Orgasmic DisorderAlthough many women do not need to have an orgasm to enjoy sex, being unable to orgasm may cause problems for their partners.Why women can’t orgasm during any form of sexual stimulation, may vary, from medical reasons to deep-rooted psychological issues that may be affecting their inability to ‘let go’.Loss of desire It can be common for a woman to experience a lack of sex drive at times in her life, particularly during pregnancy and menopause, but some women may be affected more regularly. There are several psychological and physical factors that can cause this, including diabetes, relationship problems, depression, tiredness, traumatic sexual experiences and drug and alcohol abuse.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2"][et_pb_image admin_label="Relationship Therapy & Hypnotherapy in Fareham" _builder_version="3.0.101" src="https://farehamcounsellingcentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Relationship-Therapy-Hypnotherapy-in-Fareham.png" show_in_lightbox="off" url_new_window="off" use_overlay="off" always_center_on_mobile="on" force_fullwidth="off" show_bottom_space="on" alt="Relationship Therapy & Hypnotherapy in Fareham" title_text="Relationship Therapy & Hypnotherapy in Fareham" max_width="88%" /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text _builder_version="3.0.106" background_layout="light"]

Other explanations

There are lots of reasons why you or your partner might be feeling less interested in sex:Feeling less connected. Maybe you haven’t spent as much time together lately. Perhaps something has happened in your relationship that’s caused conflict, such a big argument or an affair.Too busy to make time for sex.You may be so busy with work, looking after children or dealing with other pressures that you don’t have time to spend on your relationship.You don’t feel connected to your sexual self.Maybe there are things about your body or how you look that you don’t like, and this makes it difficult for you to see yourself in a positive, sexual way.You’ve had negative experiences with sex. You may have been criticised by a partner in the past or grew up believing that sex is negative in some way.You struggle with performance anxiety. Meaning the thought of having sex makes you worried and stressed.Mental or physical health issues may be making things difficult. You may have insecurities about a physical condition, or your interest in sex may be unsettled by a mental illness.Anxieties surrounding sex can also come from different expectations about how much sex you think you should be having.It’s very common for one partner to have a lower or higher libido than the other. Many people don’t experience spontaneous sexual desire and find this only usually happens after their partner makes an advance.Both these things can leave one of you feeling like the other isn’t attracted to them, while the other feels there’s nothing wrong.Worrying about your sex life can also be triggered by feeling like you’re not having as much sex as others, thinking that everyone else is ‘at it’ much more than you. In truth, the ‘right’ amount is however much sex you have that works for you and your partner.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text _builder_version="3.0.106" background_layout="light"]
