With women in regards to sexual activity, there are an awful lot of women who have never climaxed in their life and also a lot of women who are having great difficulty climaxing either through self-stimulation or through sexual activity with their partner. The reasons for sexual dysfunction can be both physical and psychological factors, including a woman’s relationship with her partner. The common dysfunction including loss of desire, loss of arousal, problems with orgasm and pain during sex.
Loss of desire
Loss of desire, or lack of sex drive, can have a range of physical or psychological causes, including heart disease, diabetes, depression, relationship problems, hormone disorders, excessive alcohol and drug use, tiredness, and previous sexual experience that has been traumatic.
Besides, there are many women in relationships who are distressed by the fact that they feel their relationship is fine, they feel very warmly towards their partner but they have no interest in sex anymore and they get no pleasure from sex anymore.
Sex drive can also fall if a woman’s natural testosterone levels drop; testosterone is produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands, so levels can drop if these are removed or not functioning properly.
Difficult to achieve Orgasm
Some women don’t have to have an orgasm to enjoy sex, but inability to reach orgasm can be a problem for some women and their partners.
These can be divided into two types: primary (when a woman has never had an orgasm) and secondary (when a woman has had an orgasm in the past but cannot now).
Few reasons why a woman difficult to achieve orgasm includes:-
• Lack of knowledge about sex
• Lack of stimulation
• Relationship problems
• Depression
Pain during sexual intercourse
Pain during sexual intercourse is common after the menopause as estrogen levels fall and the vagina feels dry. This can affect a woman’s desire for sex. Sexual pain disorders include dsypareunia, vaginismus and non-coial sexual pain disorders.
Sexual arousal disorders
Sexual arousal disorder is generally defined as the inability to attain or maintain typical responses to sexual arousal.
The symptoms of the disorder include:
• Lack of vaginal lubrication
• Lack of vaginal dilation or lengthening
• Decreased genital tumescence or swelling
• Decreased genital or nipple sensation
In Malaysia, Women with sexual arousal disorder were found to be significantly higher in the groups of: age 45 years old and above; married more than 14 years; having more than 3 children; from lower academic group; having husbands aged 55 years; having less sexual intercourse (less than 1 – 2 times a week); and at post-menopausal state.
In Australia, Women’s Sexual Health Program has been launched to help women who experience sexual dysfunction issues. A lady who is 53 and she has been married for 23 and hasn’t had an orgasm in 15 years. It is sad because she loves her husband and they were growing apart because of it. After being on the program for nine months she and her husband booked a second honeymoon.

Does old age stop the sexual life?
According to a new study carried out by researchers at the University of Chicago in U.S, men and women are having sex well into their 80s. What they found was that over 75% of the men and women who were between the age of 75 and 85 wanted to have sex, and were extremely interested in continuing to have it.
The basic belief in the past was that most men and women had sex when they were young, and as they aged, it would begin to stop. This is apparently not the case though, as it has been found that as long as you are healthy, the drive is still there. The only factors sound to actually cut interest would be medications, obesity, diabetes, etc. Getting old in itself is not a factor that can stop people from thirst of sex.
