Low sexual
libido in a nutshell is having a low sex drive. There are numerous reasons why
some persons suffer from this ailment, and the major one is stress. A woman
that stresses herself everyday with one activities or the other during the day may
find it stressful to engage in sexual activities at night with her partner. If
she is also suffering from mental stress maybe due to the events happening
around her. Stress is an important
factor because it decreases the important sex hormones estrogen.
Estrogen though
is cured most times with pills, spray and sometimes gel for those who may have
gotten to menopause stage, that is, if they already know it is the cause of
their low libidos, but in other cases a therapist is the perfect answer for it.
The medical part
most times is low testosterone level, type 2 diabetes and sometimes depression
which should be cured by medications if need be before going through
therapeutic session. Aside stress, poor dieting also lowers the libido most
especially in women, low carbohydrate, low fats in diets affects the hormones
that enhance the libido. Another thing that affects libido is hypothyroidism,
because it prevents the reproductive organs from carrying out their functions
in the body properly.
Although
medications to some extent cure this ailment but visiting a therapist still remains
the best solution in this aspect. The major role the therapist play in this
case is not to administer drugs but to work on your psyche. The reason being that
most of the causes of these low libido effect may actually be initiated by the
individual maybe due to some circumstances she is powerless over. The therapist
will always look for the emotional part of your situation because sex itself
brings emotion to the forefront. In curing this ailment, the therapist most
often listen to the happenings in your sex life and advices you on how to go
about it. A therapist is supposed to bring your sex drive back to gear.
It is very
advisable for women with low libido to seek the help of a therapist, because
they are trained to help work through the problem with you. After going through
therapeutic sessions and the emotional blockade have been dealt with, the
couple is then advised to engage in some behavioral exercises that have been
planned by the therapist which on most occasions are designed to remove fear
and increases sensual awareness towards herself.
