Sexual aversion in women: Come back to your femininity

It's perfectly normal to feel less like having sex every now and then. It's like eating: at some point you're full and need a break or a change of taste to regain your appetite. However, if your sexual desire has decreased so much that it puts a strain on your partnership, then you should do something about it.

Sexual unwillingness in women: what's behind it?

Sexual aversion in women is manifested by a reduced desire for sex. Affected women hardly take the initiative during sexual intercourse and feel only weakly or not at all attracted to their partner. Characteristic are a lack of sexual fantasies and feelings.

The expression of sexual aversion varies from woman to woman. There are women who feel sexual satisfaction in spite of everything, but also those who feel a strong aversion to sexual acts of any kind. By the way, men are affected by the problem to the same extent.

When is sexual dysfunction a problem?

As already mentioned, a temporary sexual aversion in women is completely normal. If this condition lasts for half a year or longer, then in the medical sense there is a sexual desire disorder. In addition, the woman's sexual listlessness puts a strain on the Relationship. In many cases, the partner suffers from insufficient sexual satisfaction. This harbors a high potential for conflict.

Difference between sexual aversion and other sexual disorders

Sexual aversion in women manifests itself in a lack of physical desire. This may be due to a sexual disorder, although this does not necessarily have to be the case. Sexual disorders in women include, for example, painful mucosal growths, vaginal cramps and general pain during sexual intercourse. These are ultimately responsible for the fact that the woman no longer feels pleasure.

The causes of sexual unwillingness in women

Sexual aversion in women is a widespread phenomenon. Around 30 to 40 percent of all women are affected at some point in their lives. Often, a woman's sexual aversion is part of a phase in her life, such as menopause. Sometimes several causes come together.

The causes of women's sexual unwillingness are many. The following factors affect sexual desire:

Physical factors

In some cases, the woman's sexual aversion is physical. Sometimes there are gynecological problems, for example endometriosis with tissue growths. Pain during sex dulls the sensation of pleasure and can often be traced back to a too dry vagina, but also to vaginal cramps in vaginismus. Chronic bladder infections and fungal infections also rob the desire for sex.

In addition, various diseases negatively affect libido. These include, for example, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, liver cirrhosis, neurological defects and kidney weakness.

Hormonal causes

In some cases, hormonal imbalance creates sexual unwillingness in women. Such complaints are typical during menopause. The unpleasant side effects include a too dry vagina and consequently pain during sex. An effective remedy for this is lubricant gel. The gynecologist can help alleviate the problem.

Loss of libido due to medication

In addition, various medications, for example the pill, interfere with hormone balance. The hormonal changes cause reduced sexual desire in some women. Some antidepressants also promote a lack of sexual desire. Drugs for high blood lipid levels and high blood pressure, medications to strengthen the heart and for dehydration can also affect the libido, as can hair growth products.

Psychological factors

Stress is a desire killer! Sexual desire is based on psychosomatic processes. However, many women suffer from strong stress in the family and at work. After childbirth or problems in the partnership, a woman often experiences a lack of sexual desire. Financial difficulties, existential fears and serious illnesses in the family environment also cause stress.

In addition, a woman's sexual unwillingness can often be traced back to depression. Psychological trauma, anxiety as well as personality and obsessive-compulsive disorders affect sexual desire. Alcohol and drug abuse also often lead to a loss of libido.

Environment and social factors

As mentioned earlier, a stressful environment negatively affects libido.

The reasons why many women do not have a positive body image of themselves often also lie in childhood. If a woman feels unattractive or wants to meet a certain expectation, this leads to self-doubt and consequently to an inner tightening.
