Frigidity is characterized by a lack of desire and of any sexual
response. This terminology has been used to define women who show no
interest in sex or who are completely "frozen" to erotic touch.
Possible causes
We should take into account a number of factors that can interfere with
libido (sex drive) female. Think of three broad categories:
organic,
the emotional and
the cultural or social.
Generally, frigidity is a combination of these influences, and the
social category has a significant weight.
Organic factors
Diseases that affect directly the genitals as an infection (IPV), or indirectly as hiperprolactinoma responsible for increasing the hormone prolactin which inhibits completely the motivation sexed.
Chronic psychiatric disorders that cause a decrease or absence of sexual desire, such as depression.
Use of certain medications such as antihypertensives or antidepressants that have side effects like decreased libido.
Emotional factors
Traumatic situations throughout life, such as sexual abuse, rape or sexual violence.
Ancient sexual repression, guilt and anxiety related to the permission not to sex.
Marital important, accompanied with charges of assault, disrespect and lack of intimacy.
Infantile relationship between spouses, in which the partners are playing more roles of parents from each other than sexual partners.
Lack of communication and intimacy in the couple.
Absence of attraction and affection for the chosen partner and companion.
Social or cultural factors
Lack of education and sexual orientation.
Fear of unwanted pregnancy associated with the uncertainty of contraception.
Practical difficulties and persistent day-to-day, like lack of time for dedication to the sexual life, lack of conducive environment for intimacy.
Inappropriate sexual stimulation.
Social repression of sexuality of women, mainly in cultures whose Christian and Muslim religions have marked influence.
A few years ago (and still today in some cultures), it was said that the woman was cold in nature, that his sexuality was focused solely and exclusively for maternity. In this context, it used female sexuality to serve men. As a result, the woman was little or no stimulation. This situation occurs persistently, with feelings of obligation in relation to sex, eventually inhibit any erotic response, thus becoming one of the many tasks that should be performed by women.
Off of positive sexual feelings and even punished or suppressed by showing pleasure, the woman took maternity and family care, giving up a sexual fulfillment.
