Female libido is a less talked about thing, at least much less than the male libido. No matter who suffers from low libido, the man or the woman, fact remains that both are going to be affected by it. So, even if the talking point is the female libido, it is best to try and sort it out. The lack of female libido implies no or very less desire for sex. It can apply to the desire for intercourse or even other sexual activities like kissing, fondling or masturbating. The direct impact of this is on the sexual performance of the woman. If he engages in a sexual sport, without her really wanting it, she will do badly at it. Painful, dry intercourse is not desirable for the man or the woman.

Now as I said earlier, the reasons of low female libido are rarely examined in our world. However, it is important to know that there are several physical as well as psychological factors that affect the female libido. We can never narrow it down to only physical or only mental, because the thin line of difference often merges in the case of women. Perhaps that is why women are complex creatures.

In fact, research shows that most women lose interest in sex because of humdrum psychological factors like stress, depression, anxiety or loneliness. More often than not women live with a problematic marriage where they are highly incompatible with their husbands mentally and physically. Their interests do not match and as a result, they spend little time together. Because of the increasing distance, women often feel alienated. A big reason of fluctuating female libido is not feeling close enough with the partner. A woman has to feel comfortable and wanted in a relationship. Only then can her sexual drive be at its fullest.

Problem arises when women do not share their sexual problems with anyone. They are either casual about it or are too embarrassed to see a doctor. Sex is the most important bonding vehicle in marriage. Years of negligence cause a deep abyss of loneliness in a couple's relationship, which become almost impossible to bridge in the later stages of life. Husbands sometimes complain or even try and establish relationships outside marriage, but rarely do we hear of a man who openly discusses his wife's lack of interest in sex. For a healthy married life, it is very important that a couple identifies the reasons behind low female libido and gets rid of it early by means of counseling or medicine.
