Sex is an activity most people enjoy in, but some women might not. The following text will focus on the possible reasons for this situation.
Oral Contraceptives
The sex drive may be decreased due to the consummation of oral contraceptives. This is a belief of some women and according to some, this belief is true. Sexual relationships may suffer due to the use of oral contraceptives.
Antidepressants
Next, we have antidepressants, which can also decrease sex drive. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and medications used as antidepressants can cause sex drive to reduce. Psychiatric sessions are the most common way of eliminating this problem.
Breastfeeding
Lactating mothers seem to have reduced sexual desire and the cause of this is breastfeeding facilitating hormone called prolactin. Decrease of the libido is a known characteristic of this hormone. Some say that this hormone is responsible for the elimination of sexual activities during the time between the birth of one child and the next one, which may take even two years.
Sleeping Problems
Another possible reason for the decrease in sex drive among females is some kind of a sleeping problem. Sexual desire may decrease if a woman is not sleeping properly.
Stress
Next possible cause is stress, but stress can be eliminated with the help of sex. Both sexes will experience decrease of sexual desire due to stress. But stress will cause greater effects among females because they see sex as an emotional, more than physical, activity.
Problems with Partner
Certain feelings may be felt due to the differences with a sexual partner. If a woman is having certain issues with her partner, she will definitely lose interest in sexual activities. Also, she will want to get everything cleared so they have no problems, and only then she will want to have sex.
Low Testosterone Levels
If this is a cause of decreased sex drive among women, it cannot be detected easily. Sexual health of a woman depends greatly on the levels of testosterone in the bloodstream. This may be the cause of decreased sex drive if a woman has no idea why she experiences this problem. The symptom associated with this problem is certain trivial psychological issue.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
Decreased sex drive may be a result of sex hormone levels increase. In the blood, the free testosterone combines with the sex hormone and this makes the hormone unusable and without its abilities. The libido will suffer a decline in this situation.
Intimacy Issues
Sex needs intimacy and some women have problems with being intimate with a man. Women with this problem will try to avoid sex as much as they can due to the decrease of sex drive.
