The female libido is a domino maze where each part influences the whole. Sexual desire can decrease not only due to stress, difficulties with a partner, or illness. There are other reasons that are completely natural for every woman. Here are a few factors that affect your libido and tips on how to deal with them.

1. Pregnancy

During pregnancy, a woman's libido is affected by several factors. Sometimes these are misconceptions that sex can harm the baby. In fact, if there are no contraindications, sex is safe throughout pregnancy. We have already told, during this period.

Another erroneous stereotype is that all pregnant women have increased sexual desire. As women's health expert Sherry Ross points out:

Women are often not interested in sex and prefer to be held, hugged and kissed during pregnancy.

Weight gain, hormone surges prevent women from feeling confident and relaxed. Each trimester brings a whole new set of circumstances that affect intimate life. Not wanting to have sex during pregnancy is normal, the main thing is to maintain intimacy and trust with your partner.

2. Postpartum

The postpartum period begins from the moment the child is born and until the body is fully restored. These are not the five days that a woman spends in the hospital, but much more - everyone has different ways, depending on the characteristics of the body.

No need to reproach yourself for the fact that the first weeks after the birth of a child you do not feel sexual desire. Your vagina needs time to heal, you need rest, and you and your partner need to get used to your new parenthood.

In addition, "postpartum menopause" can be stimulated by breastfeeding. Lactation also affects libido.

3. Pain during sex

Painful sensations during sex can occur for various reasons - dryness, infections, the size of the partner's penis, an allergy to latex, an unsuccessful sexual position. Anxiety and depression are also bad for your well-being during sexual intercourse.

If you regularly feel pain during sex, you should definitely tell your partner about it and talk with your doctor to rule out illness.

4. Premenopause

Premenopause is a gradual decline in ovarian function. It occurs on average after 45 years, in women who smoke, such changes can begin a couple of years earlier.

The first sign of premenopause is menstrual irregularity. Most often, the discharge becomes less abundant and irregular, although, on the contrary, it can become stronger and appear more often.

The transition to menopause is accompanied by sweating, insomnia, emotional swings - all this does not contribute to sexual activity. In addition, the body slows down the production of estrogen and testosterone.

According to Sherry Ross, more than 60% of women experience a decrease in libido during this period, and more than 30% stop having sex altogether.

5. Menopause

During menopause, a woman's vagina changes. The loss of estrogen can cause the vulva to atrophy and make sex impossible.

The expert advises the use of hormone therapy during menopause. Supplemental estrogen and other drugs will help the body cope with physiological changes and improve the woman's emotional state.

What to do

As you can see, most of these reasons are quite natural and will happen to each of us. You can prepare for them psychologically and reduce the influence of physiology on your libido.

According to an expert, 40% of women don't share their lack of desire problems with their doctor or partner. They endure difficulties alone, which can only aggravate the situation.

Ross' top tip for any change in sexual desire is to communicate with your partner.

Talking about sensitive sexual matters can be difficult, but it can interfere with normal intimacy if you don't, the expert emphasizes. The more information your partner has about why your libido is low, the easier it will be for them to support and help them find treatment options that lead to a healthy sex life.

The healthiest and most natural way to stimulate a woman's sex drive is to develop a close emotional and physical connection with a partner. A good understanding with your man is the best foreplay.

B Have you ever had problems with sexual desire and how did you deal with them?

Why is there no desire for a husband?

In order to solve the problem, you need to understand its causes, because of what it happened.

1. The reflection in the mirror, to put it mildly, does not please. Often women who have ceased to like themselves cease to feel desire for a husband. In this case, the woman is afraid that something will go wrong and her husband will not like her.
2. A child appeared. As a rule, with the advent of a baby, a stormy sex life comes to naught. And many reasons contribute to this: fear that the baby will wake up and start crying, fatigue (mostly young mothers always dream only of sleep), hormonal changes and dissatisfaction with their changes in figure.
3. Relations with her husband are not so smooth. It has been said before that intimacy is an indicator of family relationships. All quarrels and conflicts will surely find a way to affect the intimate sphere. There are moments when a gloomy look or an unsuccessfully spoken word infuriates a woman, gives rise to resentment, hostility, and the thought is born in her head: “I don’t want a husband!”
4. There is no romance. Women who have been married for many years do not want to have sex with their husband, because they have swallowed up everyday life. There are practically no foreplay, the same bed, you already know every next movement of your husband in advance, all the same poses, of which there are already a small number, so they are still boring - this overtakes every couple after a few years of living together.
5. Fatigue. Childcare, irregular working hours, a huge number of household chores - all this makes itself felt, moreover, discourages the desire to make love. If a woman has been working all day and doing household chores, and in the evening she barely crawls to bed, she only wants to relax and sleep, she doesn’t even want to think about anything, let alone have sex.
6. Hormonal contraceptives. If the woman is taking contraceptive pills, then the package leaflet should be read. Particular attention should be paid to the "Side Effects" section. In general, some hormonal contraceptives reduce libido, usually as indicated on the package. Go to the doctor and discuss with him what is best for you to do in such a situation, perhaps he will advise some other drug.

What to do?

To begin with, think carefully about the reason for your unwillingness to make love with your husband. Now that you've made up your mind, you need to take action.

1. You do not want intimacy with your husband, because you think that you have lost your former attractiveness and are afraid that he will not like you? After all, you and I know that we can create problems from scratch. For example, the husband likes that your forms are rounded, he absolutely does not consider you ugly, however, we can think to ourselves that the husband does not like this and maybe even disgusts him. In this case, take care of your self-esteem and directly ask your spouse about what interests you, whether he likes you or not. If the husband says that he loves you any, then there is nothing to worry about, but if he really stopped seeing you as an attractive and beautiful woman, then go to the beauty salon and the gym. Take care of yourself.
2. Do you refuse intimacy with your husband because you resent him? He didn’t do what you asked him to do, forgot to wish your mom a happy birthday, allowed himself to be sloppy about you, or forgot about your wedding anniversary - there are many reasons to “pout” your spouse. However, you do not need to transfer conflicts and quarrels to the bedroom. Promise yourself that you will not go to bed until you make peace or resolve the conflict. Directly tell your spouse that you are not satisfied, that he did or said something wrong, let him apologize to you. You should not hide it in yourself, because resentment and feelings create a huge lump that will burst out at any moment and you will arrange not a small quarrel, but a whole war.
3. Families with small children deserve special attention. Young mothers are probably the last thing they think about sex, or they don’t remember it at all, because now their husband and intimacy are not in the first place, but their beloved baby. Wash, clean, take care of the baby, and you need to cook with your husband in turn. Witches are both parents, and the husband should also help you so that you can rest. For proximity, a room is suitable in which there is no child, so that there is no fear that the baby will wake up, see something, and so on. If possible, take the child to the grandmother, ask relatives or friends to stay with the child, take a walk with him, and make love yourself.
4. If in the evening you fall down, feel tired and overwhelmed, then try to offer your husband to help you and take on some of the household chores. If he agrees and helps you, you will feel much better. If you are exhausted at work, then ask your boss for a vacation. You just need to relax. The most ideal option is to go on vacation with your beloved husband. So you immediately change the situation, and relax, and establish intimacy with your spouse.
5. An experiment to help. Try adding pepper to your relationship with your husband if he does nothing. Try to kindle your senses with a romantic dinner, candles, rose petals, pleasant music, create a different environment for intimacy. Try to do everything that comes to your mind, and do not be afraid to seem ridiculous and ridiculous, this is your husband, he will support you. If you only have sex in the bedroom, try moving to the bathroom or kitchen. In the end, rent a hotel room for one night, go to another city or even another country. Try new positions, try to please your husband in unusual ways, go to an intimate store, buy a couple of adult toys.

What to do if nothing helps, and I still don't want a husband?

Maybe your body, your body is hinting in this way that it's time to change your husband. Of course, this is already the last way out, but, unfortunately, this happens in life. Perhaps your feelings have faded and you have fallen out of love with your spouse, try to live separately from each other for now, maybe then everything will work out. You will realize that you still love him and a new wave of feelings will flood over you. However, if nothing worked out in this case, you should not suffer, because we have one life. Understand that sometimes it is better to leave in order to find your happiness and give your husband the opportunity to find it. Love and be loved!

Today we are discussing the desire of a woman and not even just desires, but the sexual desires of women, or rather the lack of sexual desire in a woman and the possible causes of this condition. We will cover the following topics:

There is no sexual desire in a woman - what to do?

A little before history. Gatherings in the kitchen sometimes reveal very difficult problems in the life of each of us. So, while talking about joys and sorrows, the topic that our guest completely lacks sexual desire surfaced in the conversation. To our question - how is it? received an answer - ah, that's it! Well, there is no desire to have sex, there is no feeling of excitement, moreover, I don’t want to have sex with my husband at all, no, he is a wonderful person and I have the most tender feelings for him - but sex has become a duty, in bed I don’t care about my husband, the feeling that you live with log.

For the first time in our kitchen it became quiet, we thought and just started to remember what situations each of us had in life when the desire to have sex disappeared.

It turned out that everyone sometimes had such situations, but in order to completely lose sexual desire, they heard about it for the first time. I recalled once heard the question of what to do to make a woman want to have sex, another question is about the fact that sometimes a woman does not have a desire to have sex, but about the complete lack of libido in women - no.

Therefore, somehow by itself, a laptop appeared on our table and we began to look for answers to questions. No - of course we understand that it would be right for our friend to visit a specialist, which she promised to do, but our interest in this issue was too strong and therefore ...

Libido- one of the basic concepts of psychoanalysis developed by Freud. It denotes sexual desire or sexual instinct. This term is necessary to describe the various manifestations of sexuality. Freud equated libido with Plato's Eros and defined it as the energy of attraction to everything that is covered by the word "love": sexual love, selfishness, love for parents and children, universal philanthropy, etc.

What is a woman's sexual desire and libido?

It turned out that such concepts as libido and sexual desire are closely related to this concept, and since libido or sexual desire implies the presence of a desire and desire for sex in women and men. Sexual desire should be in every healthy person after reaching a certain age and moreover, the formation of sexual desire begins in childhood, consists of several stages before we reach full sexual maturity.

• After a quick acquaintance with a variety of information on this topic, it turned out that:
• Almost forty percent of women and men periodically have problems of a different nature in the intimate sphere.
• Why I don't feel aroused is a question that worries women more than men
• Women do not like to tell men that they feel a lack of sexual arousal, about their expectations or problems in bed.
• No sexual desire is the reason - sometimes such problems occur as a result of certain physiological disorders.
• In various materials, you can often read that, according to statistics, every third woman has never experienced a wave of sensations and emotions that covers her during an orgasm. But as soon as she feels an orgasm to the fullest at least once in her life, she will want it all the time.
• It cannot be said that there is only one reason for the disappearance of sexual desire, this is due to the fault of many specific reasons.
• Sexual desire is reduced when taking contraceptives, because the ovaries are at rest and hormones remain at the same level every day.
• A decrease in sexual desire in women can be associated with both psychological and physiological problems.
• Sexual desires also depend on the partner, but you cannot blame only the man for the decrease or lack of desire in women.
• Many problems associated with sexual desire can be solved on your own, but in some cases you will need the help of a specialist.
• A set of physical exercises that stimulate an increase in blood flow to the pelvic organs and genitals, contribute to an increase in libido, for example, aerobics, yoga, Pilates.
• “A decrease in libido is not always bad. Nature thus limits reproductive functions when it’s “not the time.” The wrong person is with you, the wrong condition (after childbirth or any serious illness). But sometimes a physiological decrease can turn into a pathological .
• Women, like children, need more time to sleep than men, so they can safely throw in an hour of another sleep, then they will have an excellent libido.
• Most often, sexual desire falls for several reasons at once, therefore, according to experts, an integrated approach to assessing this condition is necessary.
• Hormones such as estrogen and testosterone play an important role in the emergence or reduction of sexual desire. But not only them.
• Each woman has her own sexual constitution (it can be objectively determined) and, accordingly, her own needs. It is possible to assess individual potential and correlate it with the current state in just one appointment with a specialist.

At the beginning of a relationship, when a man and a woman enter the stage of intimacy, their sex drive can be strong. But the emergence of problems in this area is possible when a certain period of time passes, and the passion between partners begins to subside, it is at this moment that sexual desire is set at a certain level. In cases where such a formed level satisfies both partners, then there are no causes of the disorder.

However, it is also possible that a man or woman has a feeling of less need for sex, and a complete loss of interest in intimate relationships is also possible. In cases where a woman becomes such a partner, then, as a rule, the pride of a man is greatly offended. It is necessary to dwell on those factors that can cause such a decrease in sexual desire.

Why can there be a problem with sexual desire in women?

As mentioned above, all the reasons that lead to a weakening of the desire for sexual intimacy can be divided into two groups - physiological factors and psychological:

Decreased sex drive in women due to hormones

The physiological factor in reducing sexual desire in a woman is a violation of the hormonal balance in a woman's body

The male sex hormone, testosterone, is responsible for libido in both men and women. Unfortunately, recently there has been a tendency to reduce it earlier than the established norm, that is, before 30 years. Also, the hormone prolactin may be to blame for the decrease in sexual desire in women (however, in men too). In women, a weakening of libido is observed in the postpartum period, when she breastfeeds the baby.

Estrogen

Decreased sex drive in women due to age

Physiological factor — age-related changes in women

The absence or weakening of libido is observed in women in premenopausal (climacteric) and menopausal age. It is known that during these periods of life, ovarian function begins to fade, which is manifested in low estrogen production. Sexual intercourse becomes unpleasant and even painful, which is associated with a decrease in the production of lubrication in the vagina. Many women at this age completely refuse sexual life, and do not experience any psychological and physical discomfort because of this.

ovaries- paired female sex glands located in the pelvic cavity. They perform a generative function, that is, they are the place where female germ cells develop and mature, and they are also endocrine glands and produce sex hormones.

Decreased sexual desire of a woman due to illness

Physiological factordecreased sexual desire in women — the presence of general and / or gynecological diseases

Diabetes mellitus, pathology of the cardiovascular and urinary excretory systems, inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs, etc. are often the cause of sexual coldness in women.

Decreased sexual desire of a woman due to bad habits

Physiological factordecreased sex drive in women -various bad habits

Smoking, alcohol abuse, drug addiction suppress sexual desire. Bad habits inhibit nerve impulses in the part of the brain that is responsible for sexual desire and arousal. In the first place comes the enjoyment of these addictions.

Decreased sex drive in a woman due to spasms

Physiological factordecreased sexual desire in women — vaginismus

Vaginismus is an involuntary spastic contraction of the muscles of the vagina, which is very painful not only for a woman, but also for a man (during intercourse).

A condition that negatively affects a woman's ability to participate in any form of vaginal penetration, including sexual intercourse, as well as insertion of tampons and penetration during a gynecological examination. This is the result of an involuntary contraction of the pubococcygeus muscle. Involuntary contraction of the muscles of the vagina occurs unexpectedly, which makes any vaginal penetration, including sexual, very painful or completely impossible. This is an extreme form of painful intercourse.

The cause of vaginismus can be experienced sexual violence, sexual harassment, and so on.

sexual abuse

Sexual harassment

Decreased sex drive in women due to infections

Physiological factor of lack of sexual desire - various sexual infections

As you know, genital infections cause discomfort in the vulva and vagina. Sexual contact against the background of severe colpitis is not only unpleasant, but also very painful.

Colpitis

Decreased sexual desire of a woman due to psychological reasons

The psychological reasons for a decrease in sexual desire in a woman are very diverse.

These can be chronic stress, fatigue, discord in relations with a partner, a quarrel with him, an inappropriate environment, a partner’s unwillingness to take into account the needs and preferences of a woman, and much more.

Religion, complexes, upheavals, desires and opportunities as a reason for low sexual activity

In addition, a decrease in sexual desire in women may be associated with religious education, complexes, or any upheavals in sexual life. Often a partner does not want to take into account the desires and capabilities of a woman, and does not take into account the fact that, in addition to her main job, she has to do household chores, raise children, cook lunches and dinners. One of the reasons for the decrease or lack of libido in young women is inexperience and fear of unwanted pregnancy.

How is a woman's lack of sexual desire treated?

It is important to understand here that the treatment of the symptoms of this type of disorder is inseparable from the elimination of its causes. So if the cause is diabetes, then focus on managing your diabetes and improving your overall quality of life. Other therapeutic methods include taking antidepressants, homeopathy, psychotherapy.

But, if you face the truth, it is worth recognizing that the treatment of low desire is impossible only by medication. It should be complex (medication and restoration of the emotional state through a psychological attitude), including in some cases even the active participation of a partner.

Treatment of sexual disharmony in women

In the treatment of sexual disharmony, sleep disturbances, headaches, irritability, breast tenderness, vaginal discharge, weight gain, waist enlargement, as well as acne, increased skin oiliness are possible. With the inclusion of additional hormonal therapy, an increase in hair growth is noted.

Do not deny this problem at the slightest sign of its occurrence, otherwise it can lead to serious discord in life. The key to successful restoration of harmony is mutual understanding and mutual respect in a couple.

Many experts recommend practicing relationships for some time without direct sexual contact, which can diversify and bring novelty into intimate life, so that later the desire to resume it in a full form will wake up.

And if everything is not so much running for you ... i.e. If you decide that you are ready to do something to return sexual desire, then a few simple ways will help you on the path to returning the joy of sex.

Work on awakening sensuality and restore sexual desire

You need to learn how to enjoy yourself! And first of all, take care not of sexual pleasure, but of the sensitivity of the organs of perception: touch, smell, hearing.

The ability to enjoy simple things like beautiful music or the scent of your favorite perfume will help increase your libido. Turn on your favorite music, sit comfortably and try to feel every note of this melody. "Dissolve" in every sound, forgetting about all the problems and troubles.

In addition, such aroma or music therapy will help you relax and tune in to sex. It will be easier for you to awaken your sexual desire and get more pleasure from intimate caresses.

Your body is beautiful, so love your body and it will love you back with passion

Very often, problems with libido arise when a woman is dissatisfied with the way she looks: her figure, hairstyle, facial features ... Especially many problems are created by dissatisfaction with her own weight.

Learning to feel more sexy and desirable will help an ordinary mirror. Try to look at your reflection as often as possible, study your body, learn to emphasize your strengths and hide your flaws.

Remember: men love different women - someone likes blondes more, and someone likes redheads, someone prefers thin women, and someone likes women "in the body."

You are an individual! And it is with you that a man is ready to have sex every day! There is no other like you in this world, and therefore you have something to be proud of. You are the one and only! Love yourself for who you are, and you will learn how to get the most out of life.

Use sexual tricks for your body, it deserves it

Sexologists say that a great way to increase sexual desire is ... a longer foreplay. Explain to your partner that you need a little more sexual contact than usual before intercourse. Increase the time of sexual foreplay by 2-3 times. In this case, it will be useful to resort to the help of all kinds of sexual toys. This will not only increase your sexual desire, but also diversify sex.

Do not forget about lubricants - these gels make up for the lack of lubrication, and also often contain additional components that stimulate desire. It is also known that women who have regular sex life rarely face the problem of lack of desire. Therefore, do not forget to make time for sex in your busy work schedule!

It is necessary to raise the vitality and at the same time the sexual desire of a woman will rise

Physical activity has been clinically proven to markedly increase sexual desire. Significantly increase libido: 30-minute daily walk, jogging, swimming or any other type of physical activity. But at the same time, the regularity of muscle loads is important! Training only once a week will not give the expected results.

You can pay attention to individual muscle groups that are directly responsible for sexual pleasure. The famous Kegel exercises are ideal for training intimate muscles. They can be performed at any time of the day and anywhere - even on the way to work. Every day for a few minutes, contract the muscles of the entrance of the vagina - and after a few days you will feel the result.

Kegel exercises

Correct hormonal imbalance and improve your sex life under the supervision of a doctor

Problems in sexual life also appear after hormonal disruptions in a woman's body. In this case, the only correct way out is hormone therapy. This method of "treatment" is necessary for women who have recently given birth to a baby, breastfeeding mothers and women going through menopause. Also, hormonal failure can occur after severe stress.

In all these cases, in the body of the fairer sex, there is a lack of the hormone testosterone (less than 10 nanograms per milliliter of blood), estrogen and pheromones. Only a specialist can prescribe the necessary hormonal preparations. Remember that these medical drugs must be taken strictly in accordance with the dosage. Otherwise, it is possible that not only the sexual life will worsen, but also the general well-being.

Pheromones

Eat right and with pleasure, increasing sexual desire

It has long been known that proper nutrition can solve many problems, including those of an intimate nature. Aphrodisiac products will help increase libido.

Sexual fire is effectively awakened by spicy foods and various spices: pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, fennel, cardamom, anise, turmeric, horseradish. Famous aphrodisiacs include seafood: halibut, salmon, clams, oysters. They increase sexual desire due to the fatty acids they contain.

Few people know that many of the products familiar to us are powerful erogenous stimulants. These include: chocolate (especially dark), bananas, avocados, mangoes, figs, nuts, liver, eggs.

Aphrodisiacs- Substances that stimulate or increase sexual desire or sexual activity, as opposed to anaphrodisiacs, which interfere with sexual pleasure or suppress desire. In the modern market of perfumery products, there are products that are positioned as "containing pheromones".

Traditional medicine believes it can stimulate sexual desire in women

No less often, medicinal herbs are used in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions. The most famous natural herbs that stimulate sexual desire include: wild yam, ginseng, damiana, aloe, celery.

These herbs can be used in various combinations in the form of decoctions and infusions, as well as seasonings for various dishes. It is also good to make inhalations based on these herbs, and some - for example, aloe - can even be consumed in its pure form (aloe juice with honey). These herbs are also found in many dietary supplements designed to increase sexual desire.

Talking about the problem of a decrease in libido in a woman does not allow her to go deeper

One of the most common reasons for a decrease in libido in a woman is psychological in nature - problems in relationships with a partner. Quarrels, conflicts, omissions, suspicions destroy sexual life in 80% of cases. And the woman suffers first. The only way out is a heart-to-heart conversation. Tell your man about your suspicions and doubts.

The sooner you solve all the painful issues, the sooner you will feel the joy of sex again. In some cases, you may need the help of a psychologist or family therapist. Do not hesitate to seek help from a specialist - after all, not only your sexual pleasure, but also your future relationship with a partner may depend on this.

Fantasize with a man, such fantasies increase a woman's sexual desire

Try to be as honest with your man as possible. Communication will help increase libido. Talk to your partner about everything, and most importantly, about your sexual desires and fantasies. Arrange an evening of revelations and talk to each other on the most intimate topics. It is best if this conversation flows smoothly into the night of magical love.

Try to make each other's fantasies come true. This method of increasing libido is often prescribed by experts. And this is absolutely justified - after all, the inability to talk about their sexual desires first causes sexual dissatisfaction, a decrease in sexual activity, and then a complete lack of desire for intimacy.

Do not forget about the romance of life, bring an erotic component into relationships and you will increase a woman's sexual desire

In the daily hustle and bustle, we often forget or just don't find time for romance in a relationship. But an evening spent by candlelight to the sounds of slow and pleasant music in the company of your soulmate can solve many problems ... Such an environment primarily affects the emotional relationship between partners. You will learn to understand each other better, pay more attention to feelings - yours and your partner's.

Such intimate evenings cannot but affect your sexual desire. Romance will increase your sensuality and teach you to understand each other's desires without words. Arrange such intimate evenings at least once a month. Integral attributes of a romantic rendezvous should be not only music and candles, but also a properly set table. Give preference to dishes from aphrodisiacs and light wine (in small quantities).

More about specialists: sexologists are different and the differences are significant

Doctor-sexologist (physiology + psychology), diploma of a doctor and diploma of a psychologist, formerly called a sex therapist

The doctor has knowledge in various fields of medicine and therefore has a deeper versatile approach to the problem, respectively, will be able to more accurately diagnose and prescribe treatment. In addition, a sexologist has the right to conduct an examination, is able to advise on normal sexual life (preventive work), conduct a psychotherapy session, prescribe therapeutic exercises, physiotherapy, and pharmacotherapy.

The doctor has the legal right not only to listen, but also to treat. Sexual health depends on a huge number of reasons, both somatic and psychological. Only a sexologist knows both the norm and the pathology, and can determine whether the patient is healthy or not. A sexologist is able to accurately diagnose, and the result directly depends on this.

Psychologist-sexologist (psychology), diploma in psychology, can be referred to as: sexologist-psychotherapist, family sexologist

A psychologist and a sexologist may well work with sexual and psychological disharmony, but for the greatest effectiveness for the patient, it is better for such specialists to work in tandem with a sexologist, because it is necessary to take into account the factor of both mental and physical health.

Opinion: psychologist Vladivostok Sumarin Oleg

Many people face this problem. But not everyone is trying to solve it. Sometimes it's just because they don't take it seriously. However, a decrease in sexual desire can seriously poison life ...

In what cases can we talk about a decrease in sexual desire?

What is it - lack of interest in sex or inability to engage in it? The decrease in sexual desire is physiological and pathological. When assessing, it is necessary to be guided by the patient's sexual constitution, know the age norms, take into account the psycho-emotional state and hormonal status. A decrease in desire is, first of all, the disappearance of the desire to have sex. Although such physiological reactions as morning and even spontaneous erection may persist. But each case is individual.

If a person experiences sexual arousal and even orgasm in the absence of a desire to have sex, can we talk about a decrease in sexual desire?

No, in this case we are talking about a different direction of preserved sexual desire. This condition can be observed, for example, in pornophilia - addiction to pornography. Increasingly, such problems arise in men who go into the virtual reality of the Internet.

When should decreased libido be considered a serious disorder?

If we are talking about a pathological form, it is necessary to look for the cause: most likely, “breakdowns” occurred in other organs and systems. A decrease in desire is the same symptom as a temperature is a sign of an illness that needs to be treated. If there is no pathology, the situation is more complicated. People have different attitudes towards their health. Some with lung cancer continue to smoke and are not going to seek medical help, flooding the pain with alcohol. And others undergo a preventive examination at the dentist every six months, when the teeth still do not hurt. A regular sex life is a complex indicator of health and the most enjoyable way to keep yourself in shape. No one has ever died from lack of sex. But the possible consequences of prolonged abstinence are known - fibroids, mastopathy, prostate adenoma. For some, a decrease in sexual desire is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. And someone endures everything calmly, and intervention is not needed. But, in my opinion, in the latter case, a person leads a life that is not quite full, depriving himself.

How often do patients complain of decreased libido?

This symptom is observed in 50% of patients who applied for sexological help. Most often, he is accompanied by anorgasmia (lack of orgasm), vaginismus (fear of sexual intercourse), sexual and psychological disharmony.

What methods of treatment are used in such situations?

It all depends on the specific case and the person. Pathogenetic treatment is directed at the cause. With an integrated approach, lifestyle, mental hygiene, relationships are taken into account, the roles of partners are analyzed, a system of “sexual launches” is developed, erogenous zones are examined, a course of special physical education, physiotherapy is prescribed. Pharmacotherapy and psychotherapeutic techniques are widely used. With this approach, successful treatment and correction is 80-90%.

There is an opinion that the problem with sexual desire is mainly a female “trouble”. Who actually has this symptom more often - men or women?

Given that the male hormone testosterone is responsible for attraction, the level of attraction in men should be higher than in women. But, in my opinion, at the present stage, the decrease in sexual desire relative to the norm is approximately the same for both men and women. Although over the past 15 years, it was the representatives of the stronger sex who began to lose ground, especially in megacities.

What are the rules in this case?

The most average, the so-called conditionally physiological rhythm (UFR) implies the desire and ability to have sex 2-3 times a week, under the most favorable conditions. Of course, there are fluctuations, because desire is influenced by many factors, such as illness, sleep disorders, chronic mental fatigue, novelty of relationships.

Is decreased sex drive related to lifestyle?

The law applies here: the worse, the less, and vice versa, but, of course, not higher than the age and constitutional norm.

What are the main causes of this problem in men and women?

In men, “addiction” to a partner has a negative effect, when she stops playing the role of a lover, turning into a “mother”, “comrade”. In practice, I increasingly come across situations where women come to the reception, confident that the husband is ill and “completely weak like a man.” They take him to the doctors. And the real reason is the Internet and masturbation. In women, a decrease in sexual desire is most often observed with mental and physical exhaustion. Especially after the birth of a child. Enough sleep is essential to maintaining attraction. Well, and, of course, his mechanicalness, rudeness, and primitivism in sexual scenarios kill him. Unfortunately, the jokes about thoughtful looking at the ceiling during sexual intercourse did not appear out of nowhere.

How long can libido be reduced after childbirth?

The maximum rehabilitation lasts up to three years. But visible improvements should be noticeable six months after the birth of the baby. If they are not there, you should consult a sexologist, as in this case deactualization of sexual behavior develops (decrease in the importance of sex) and detraining (partial loss of sexual skills). In such a situation, some husbands "go into conservation", and not always reversible - especially after the age of 40-50, or find mistresses. A very common complaint: "My wife stopped loving me and does not pay any attention to me." It is especially sad if, precisely at the time when the child needs a dad, and the woman needs a husband, he offers to "live separately."

Is there a "selective" decrease in sexual desire - for example, when a husband and wife "get tired" of each other?

Of course, if people are not interested in each other, then the desire disappears. It is important to understand that you need to take care of relationships and try to please your husband or wife all your life, and not just before the wedding. If the spouses manage to understand this in time, they manage to save and decorate the marriage. I even developed a special "second honeymoon" program. According to my observations, a lot can be improved. Moreover, couples often admit that their second honeymoon is even better than the first.

Divorce - and what will happen now?

There are 7 divorces for every 10 marriages. It turns out that a broken family is a statistical norm. But divorce is experienced in most cases hard. It's impossible to get used to it. Getting along with each other has become difficult, because all over the world the institution of the family is in crisis. Society no longer offers criteria for a proper family life. A wife is a good housewife: is this enough for her husband to feel happy in marriage and understand that his family life is a success? The husband has a lot of money, and he is not greedy: is this enough for the wife to be satisfied with her family life? No, not anymore.

Has the concept changed?

Earlier, about 100 years ago, people were guided by external criteria for a successful marriage: a wife is faithful, economic and loves children - excellent. The husband earns, does not beat, does not walk and loves kids - what more could you want. And now the criteria for a successful family life have become individual. If people feel the pleasure of communicating with each other for a long time, often and whenever possible, despite the fact that they live together, sleep in the same bed and use the same bathroom, this is family happiness. It is clear that emotions and states are rarely stable unless they are reinforced by cultural norms and societal expectations. Everyone is glad that children study well - this is the cultural norm for success. In a society where not fives, but weight would be considered success, everyone would be happy with fat kids. Previously, when marriage was based on understandable family roles, the division of responsibilities, there were socially constructed criteria for a correct, good family. If people understood that their family met these criteria, then they felt good, were satisfied with “themselves, their dinner and wife.” If there are no criteria for a good family in society, then there are no persistent and lasting emotions that support married life. Today it’s like this: it’s good - we live together. It got bad - they fled.

We're the same blood…

But children never want mom and dad to part. A stable family composition is very important for a child. A kind of tribal consciousness “works” here, which is characteristic of all people. So, the warriors and hunters of the primitive tribe named themselves according to the most important sacred rules. Parts of the body of a totem animal served as their names: Eye of an eagle, Claw of an eagle, Eagle feather ... When all the warriors of a tribe are together, a whole totem animal is obtained, which gives protection and good luck to everyone. Now imagine: the structure of the family-tribe is changing. No Eagle's Beak or Buffalo's Head, the tribe is weakening and the children are losing their sense of security and self-confidence. This applies to children of any age. And even if the parents part by mutual consent. I remember a teenager, a boy of 14 years old. Mom and dad did not live together for a long time, but formally the marriage was preserved, there was both respect for each other and cooperation. At some point, they decided to divorce formally. The boy reacted strongly to this news. He explained it this way: “If my friends find out that I have an inferior family, they will no longer respect me.” In family psychology, it is believed that the closure of family boundaries and the redistribution of functions takes up to seven years. Moreover, this redistribution of functions may be “wrong”. After the divorce, dad began to live separately, and mom - with a small daughter and a teenage son. Dad appeared rarely, ceased to play a significant role in the family. The boy decided that now he should be the “head of the buffalo”. He still cannot earn money, but he can do everything at home like a grown man: educate his sister and bring potatoes from the store. This strategy extended to emotional functioning: the son and mother are sitting in the kitchen, planning expenses, discussing how to raise the girl. Then the guy got deuces, because he had to take his sister either to music or to sports. I stopped going to school, I lost my friends. To fully assume the responsibilities of an adult - a father or mother - is an unbearable burden for a child.

Come back, we feel bad without you!

If the divorce did not occur by mutual agreement, if one spouse was traumatized by the divorce - he was abandoned, then the children are even more traumatized. They see the suffering that one person dear to them delivered to another person equally dear to them. And they love both parents. They cannot be on either side, and parents often expect their children to stand with each of them on the same side of the barricades. In such a situation, children try to return everything back, to make sure that mom and dad are reunited. Behavioral disturbances begin, as if saying to the absent parent: “The one who remains with us cannot cope. You see, the grades have become worse, we get sick all the time, we quarrel with other children, beer, cigarettes, then everywhere. I remember twin boys refusing to eat without their dad. Their mother was categorically against the divorce and believed that dad had been bewitched, and it was her direct duty to save him. She discussed this version with her sons, did not hide her grief from them. The children "heard" their mother's message and began to try different behaviors that would attract dad back to the family. Refusal of food was the most effective. Mom called dad on the phone and said: “They don’t eat.” Dad came, despite the fact that he had a different family for several years ... While the children are trying to return everything back, the time of their lives goes by. But the forces are spent not on developing normally, communicating, looking for their interests and hobbies, but on reducing the suffering, for example, of mom, giving her the opportunity not to lose touch with dad. With their problems, children create the illusion that nothing has changed.

Is it curable?

Family breakdown is bad for children, but living in a conflicted, formal family is also bad. No one knows what is worse for a child: the divorce of the parents or their unhappy marriage. The cooperation of parents about the child should not stop. It is better for parents to be together at important events for the child - birthdays, competitions, etc. Both parents should confer on significant decisions - choosing a school, treating serious illnesses, anything that can significantly affect a child's life. If the parents still cannot agree, then divorce psychotherapy is just for them. IMPORTANT If a divorce occurs, the damage to the child can be reduced. There is divorce therapy that solves this problem. Some techniques can be applied independently. 1. Let your children know about your decision to divorce together. Say that this is your joint decision, it will be better for both of you. The more firmly and unanimously this is voiced to the children, the less they will try to return everything back. 2. Tell the children that even though mom and dad are no longer living together, they are still parents and love children. Tell us how the communication of children with the parent who will not live with them will be arranged. Stick to this agreement strictly. 3. The parent who leaves the territory of the family must do so after the conversation on the same day.Anna Varga, psychologist.

A decrease in libido in the stronger sex occurs due to various factors. This circumstance brings a lot of trouble to modern men. You need to know one thing for sure: if there is a loss of sexual desire, this is a sign of a possible pathology (physiological or mental). The disappearance of the natural "fuse" occurs against the background of a failure of the male reproductive system. Therefore, at the first signs of the disease, you need to consult an experienced andrologist, urologist or sexologist.

How the loss of sexual desire manifests itself, the causes and symptoms of the disorder, ways to treat reduced libido - you will learn all this in our article.

Decreased libido in men: causes

Lack of sexual desire in men manifests itself in the same way. And it is they, and not sexual partners, who notice the decline in potency and libido. However, not all representatives of the stronger sex are in a hurry to solve such an intimate problem in the bud, attributing the reluctance of intimacy to fatigue or problems at work.

However, you need to understand that a low level of libido can indicate both minor violations and a pathological state of health. External factors include:

• Wrong way of life. Unbalanced diet, overweight;
• Chronic lack of sleep;
• Stress, troubles;
• Emotional "stagnation" in relations with a partner;
• Mental turmoil;
• Irregular sex.

The physiological reasons for the decline in sexual potential are as follows:

• Hormonal changes, imbalance;
• Pathology of the liver;
• Erectile dysfunction;
• Diseases of the urogenital area (,), etc.;
• Age-related changes - andropause (often libido decreases after 45 years);
• Diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Moreover, sexologists separately note psychological factors that negatively affect potency and attraction. Mental loss of sexual desire is due to:

• unsuccessful sexual contacts;
• dissatisfaction of the partner (frequent condemnation of the partner on her part);
• fear of a woman (do not give pleasure, hear ridicule, etc.);
• self-doubt, as in a sexual partner.

Each of these points is analyzed by sexologists separately, because sometimes a man himself cannot explain why he does not have a craving for the fair sex. Therefore, psychological factors are not excluded from the examination of the patient, but, on the contrary, are checked in more detail.

Andrologists, in turn, described a number of factors in which the patient himself contributes to a decrease in libido:

• excessive alcohol consumption;
• smoking.

Also, libido is guaranteed to disappear after drug use, and it is quite difficult to restore it after drug addiction. However, after a course of detoxification of the body, restoration of libido is possible.

Diagnosis of decreased libido: identifying the root cause

In order to restore potency and libido, it is necessary to undergo a qualitative diagnosis of the body. Mostly men who are sexually active are the first to apply. Married or immersed in work, men cannot immediately identify signs of a decline in libido due to the monotony of relationships or constant employment.

Since there are many reasons for the decrease in sexual desire, the patient is invited to undergo a complete examination for the activity of all organs. The main analysis that must be passed without fail is a blood test for the content of the hormone testosterone, prolactin and globulins. After all, it is on these germ cells that both the libido and the potency of a sexually mature man depend.

Depending on the cause of the sexual disorder, the specialist will be able to prescribe the most adequate treatment, because there are a lot of methods for solving this issue.

Lost libido: how to return sexual desire

If a man has lost libido, treatment should begin immediately. Recovery of erectile function directly depends on the root cause of the condition. That is why it is so important to consult a doctor and undergo an examination. There are various methods to increase sexual potential, however, there are general rules of conduct that must be observed during the treatment period, namely:

• lead a healthy lifestyle. Say "no" to alcohol and nicotine if you have such bad habits. Be sure to get enough sleep (minimum sleep should be 8 hours). Go in for sports, this will improve blood circulation and supply the pelvic area with enough blood and oxygen;
• change your diet. Include fresh vegetables and fruits, red meat, as well as nuts, honey, and herbs. Avoid fatty, fried, smoked foods. Refuse fast food and convenience foods;
• use traditional medicine wisely, and be sure to consult your doctor.

How to return sexual desire through traditional medicine, we will describe further.

Hormonal remedies

The presented therapy is relevant if the level of testosterone in a man is low. It is necessary to use such means only under the supervision of a specialist. Doctors restore hormonal imbalance only with proven medicines, among which are:

• Andriol TK;
• Methyltestosterone;
• Androgel (gel for external use);
• (drug for intramuscular injection).
• etc.

The period of treatment with hormones depends on the state of the hormonal background of the patient.

Psychorelaxing methods

Such a technique may include a whole list of procedures. Therapy is used for psychological disorders, stress, depression, against which erectile dysfunction is formed. Often, a consultation of a psychotherapist or a sex therapist, a psychologist is prescribed. If the couple is married, then the specialist may prescribe joint therapy.

Another way to relieve stress is to use a relaxing massage. Physiotherapy is also an appropriate method for dealing with psychological disorders:

• Electrosleep;
• Therapeutic shower;
• Electrophoresis.

The lack of sexual desire of a psychological nature can be corrected through a joint massage with a partner. Sexologists argue that this kind of problem should be solved by both partners on an equal footing.

Vibro massage relaxation

The essence of the method is the impact of low-frequency vibration on the back surface of a man's body. Vibration is produced with different amplitude and frequency.

Selective chromotherapy

It is used for chronic fatigue and apathy. This therapeutic system excites the subcortical nerve centers through the display of various colors (from faded to intensely bright).

Psychocorrective techniques

• Wet wraps;
• Therapeutic baths (coniferous, nitrogen, etc.);
• Franklinization.

Tonic methods

This method can be done at home. You can tone up the body through a contrast shower, therapeutic massage. In this case, the role of a masseuse can be offered to the wife.

Treatment with folk remedies

Medicinal plants are important to take if a man has no pathological processes in the body, and the lack of libido is associated with external factors. Sexologists usually prescribe drugs that increase sexual potential:

• . This infusion qualitatively affects not only potency, but is also a powerful natural aphrodisiac;
