Female sexual dysfunction

Pain and Hurt

Sexual pain is mostly incurred by a female partner because of their sexual part’s unique and sensitive nature. Penetration can cause heavy pain and discomfort to females. Pain goes up with the size and structure of the penis. Inadequate lubrication and immature vaginal muscles can be the main cause of pain. Menopause simply makes the vagina dry which is again not a good situation to have sex for females. It should be understood by male partners.

Relationships between partners sometimes begin to be a little tense; however, the male partner should understand it. Forcefully pleading your partner to have sex in such a case is disgraceful patriarchal thinking. It should be stopped in a relationship. One should consult the doctor without having any hesitation to get rid of it. 

Less orgasm or temptation

Sometimes, the female reproductive system becomes so insensitive that you stop craving intercourse. Women stop getting orgasm because of stress and fatigue. These are the enemy of orgasm. Having temptation for sex is something that comes from your present state of mind, hence relax the mind is very much needed to sort it out. Yoga and meditation can help get out of this scene. However, a long period of this disorder should be treated after consulting the sexologist.
