Female Issues

It is impor­tant to con­sult with a doc­tor or other med­ical advi­sor when expe­ri­enc­ing sex­ual prob­lems of a phys­i­cal nature. Each symp­tom car­ries a numer­i­cal indi­ca­tor between ‘1’ and ‘5’ (where ‘1’ is low­est) of the like­li­hood of the cause being a phys­i­cal problem.

  • Lack of sex­ual desire: This is the most com­mon dif­fi­culty for females, in which there is no great inter­est in sex­ual activ­ity (3)
  • Anor­gas­mia: Another com­mon prob­lem, the inabil­ity to achieve orgasm either dur­ing inter­course or mas­tur­ba­tion (3)
  • Inter­course Anor­gas­mia: Orgasm can be eas­ily achieved via mas­tur­ba­tion but not through sex­ual inter­course (1)
  • Vagin­is­mus: An invol­un­tary spasm of the vagi­nal mus­cles, mak­ing pen­e­tra­tion either impos­si­ble or extremely painful (1)
  • Pen­e­tra­tion Anx­i­ety: This will often result in Vagin­is­mus, in which fear is usu­ally very notice­able (2)
  • Vagi­nal Dry­ness: In mature women (35+) this is often due to a phys­i­cal con­di­tion; in younger women, though, it is pos­si­ble that it is purely a psy­cho­log­i­cal prob­lem (4)
  • Per­sis­tent Sex­ual Arousal Syn­drome: More com­monly known as Nympho­ma­nia this is a dis­tress­ing con­di­tion where there is a con­tin­u­ous ‘state of readi­ness’ with an inabil­ity to achieve release via orgasm, even when orgasm can be achieved. (1)
  • Post-coital nau­sea: The onset of nau­sea almost imme­di­ately after inter­course (1)
  • Hyper-orgasmia: Orgasm can occur fre­quently, often repeat­edly, with lit­tle or no phys­i­cal stim­u­la­tion (1)
  • Dys­pare­u­nia: Gen­i­tal pain dur­ing sex­ual inter­course (4)
  • Sex­ual Aver­sion Dis­or­der: A patho­log­i­cal aver­sion to any form of sex­ual activ­ity; in severe cases, great anger can be trig­gered if there are attempts to force the issue (1)

The above is not an exhaus­tive list of sex­ual dis­or­ders; this is essen­tially a self-help site cov­er­ing only those sit­u­a­tions which are most fre­quently encoun­tered. It is impor­tant to note that, irre­spec­tive of the ‘phys­i­cal prob­lem indi­ca­tor’, almost any of the above dif­fi­cul­ties for the female be of phys­i­cal origin.
