When Sigmund Freud first labeled the energy behind sex drive as “Libido” most men and women didn’t really understand what the good doctor was talking about. Men and women called it sex drive and knew they either had a powerful tool or a weak version of the energy that creates sexual activity.
The female libido was a mystery to most women back then. Why some women had a strong female libido or sex drive, while others suffered from the lack of female libido was a mystery. It was shrouded in distorted facts and antiquated myths and those issues kept women from enjoying sex. The libido was never completely understood until Freud explained how the female libido functions.
Freud was the first professional to identify the mind as the primary sex organ, and he revolutionize the way the female libido was defined, so the symptoms of a sexual dysfunction could be treated with the help of psychoanalysis. Most women didn’t want to be psychoanalyzed so they suffered in silence, and often lived without sexual activity because they felt alone and isolated from their own body.
Thoughts have changed and we now know that the female libido is in a constant state of flux, and there are several mental and physical factors that are responsible for those changes. Change is normal, but when we describe sex the word “normal” really doesn’t exist because every woman experiences sex in her own way. Even though there is no norm in sexual activity there is a sense of enjoyment and healthy satisfaction in participating in some form of sexual activity.
Several Mental and Physical Factors Influence the Female Libido
We now know that several factors influence the female libido and those factors include pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and menopause. Other issues like stress, anxiety, depression, illness, disease, and a difficult relationship can also create symptoms like vaginal dryness, a non-existent sex drive, and pain during intercourse, as well as the inability to reach an orgasm during intercourse.
Those symptoms are called female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and they can drastically alter life for women who are experiencing those symptoms. Professionals like to put FSD symptoms in groups and call them types. There are four types of FSD, and all types can be treated once the cause is identified using a women sexual enhancement supplement in prescription or non-prescription form.
The four types of FSD are: hypoactive sexual desire disorder, sexual arousal disorder, sexual pain disorder and orgasmic disorder. When one or more of these types of FSD manifest, the female libido suffers in some way. In order to relieve any type of FSD and to liberate the female libido, personal analysis and even professional help may be needed to resolve those issues.
