Female Sexual Dysfunction

It seems that until recently, women's sexual arousal issues have not been adequately addressed. There are different areas of female sexual dysfunction, so lets break it down into some of the major categories- 1) Unable To Have An Orgasm Female Orgasmic Disorder is defined as the delay or absence of orgasm after "normal" arousal.

2) Unable To Become Sexually Aroused

Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder is characterized by an absence of libido. There is no interest in initiating sex and little desire to seek stimulation.

Sexual Aversion Disorder is characterized by an aversion to or avoidance or dismissal of sexual prompts or sexual contact. It may be acquired following sexual or physical abuse or trauma and may be lifelong. The main feature of female sexual arousal disorder is an inability to achieve and progress through the stages of "normal" female arousal.

Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD) is a persistent or recurrent inability to attain, or to maintain until completion of the sexual activity, an adequate lubrication-swelling response of sexual excitement.

3) Unable To Have Sex Without Pain

Dyspareunia is marked by genital pain before, during, or after intercourse.

Vaginismus is the involuntary contraction of the perineal muscles around the vagina as a response to attempted penetration. Contraction makes vaginal penetration difficult or impossible.

Important To Note:

Not Having An Orgasm During Sexual Intercourse For A Woman Is Very Common, And Is Not Considered Sexual Dysfunction. If you would like to learn techniques that can help, you can find them in my eBook "The Art Of Female Ejaculation."

These disorders cause personal distress in addition to physical complications that may be the cause or the symptom of the sexual challenges. It is just as important for a woman to see her health care provider should she experience ongoing sexual problems.

Some Helpful Solutions

Vibrafem is a Female sexual enhancement lubricant and heightens the arousal phase of sexual pleasure when applied to the sensitive tissues of a woman.

Arousal is encouraged by the gentle warmth and tingling sensation of soothing menthol. As the experience continues, the pulsating and soft heat intensifies, which further enhances blood flow into the area. While the menthol stimulates, the essential amino acid L-Arginine initiates the nitric oxide pathway of sexual stimulation.

Please Note- literature suggests that oral L-Arginine should not be taken by a person with herpes, as it might trigger an outbreak. For the same reason, these topically enhancing cremes are not recommended for a woman with the herpes virus.
