Female Libido Problems and Their Possible Causes

Dr. Robert Taylor performed some experimental tests at the Western Reserve University and found that most women that suffer with female libido problems have HSDD, or hypoactive sexual desire disorder. HSDD is also known as low libido or low sex drive.

About 33% of the women who participated in the experiment showed that they had low libido levels or female libido problems. Yet another 24% of the women had difficulty in achieving orgasms. Yet, another 14% experienced pain during intercourse. Those women who experienced pain during intercourse were the only group in the experiment that showed a relationship to age.

Apparently, the symptoms decrease as the woman grows older. According to medical experts, HSDD is an absence or deficiency of desire or sexual fantasies for sexual involvements. According to research, 37% of the women participating in the studies claimed they only thought of having sex a few times each month. Thirty-three percent of the women claimed to think of having sex two to three times per week. Studies seem to show that unhappy women think of sex less, while happy women think of sex more often.

The women who have trouble with orgasms may have developed an orgasmic disorder according to the experts. This condition causes consistent absence or delay in orgasms. During testing, the doctor found variations in the experiment, which led him to believe that the percentile of Sexual Orgasmic Disorder could not be defined.

Studies show that 29% of the participants in the survey had orgasms during sex while 40% claim that they are satisfied with their partners physically. According to the expert, there appears to be a broad spectrum of variations in sexual functions. The doctor continues to state that women should not feel as though they need to achieve their sexual peak in order to be normal.

Women who have difficulty with sex should consult with their doctors. Women with lower sex drives may experience no desire for sex due to these causes, which may include the multiple roles women assume, fatigue, and psychological causes, as well as biological ones such as the menopause, which all may have an impact on a female.
