In recent weeks, in the wake of general anxiety, many Russians have begun to complain that their sexual desire has blunted. There were even jokes on the topic of the day: «The libido has suspended its activity on the territory of Russia.» What is happening to us and is it normal?
Gynecologist-endocrinologist Evgenia Nazimova, in an interview with the Doctor Peter portal, explained that the psycho-emotional factor is the key reason for the decrease in sexual desire in women. And it is more widespread than purely hormonal. Whereas the male brain is arranged differently: career, wife, children, sex, health seem to be on different “planes”.
“Therefore, it is easier for a man to switch from work to sex if he has a woman in front of him who is of interest,” says Evgenia Nazimova.
Diana Genvarskaya, PhD, psychotherapist, sexologist at JSC Meditsina, in an interview with Psychologies.ru also emphasizes that stress affects women and men differently.
According to her, he scares women and makes them “not want”, it is difficult for them to tune in to sex and realization in it
“Most often, stress affects a man in a different way: men relieve stress with the help of sex. The level of stress varies, and if it is not very high, then usually there are no problems with “switching”. I can’t say that this is the norm: men should learn not to “bite” stress with sex. The pleasure of intimacy will be completely different if you abandon this approach, ”explains the expert.
How to restore sexual desire? The main thing is to get rid of the source of stress. According to experts, there is no other magic remedy — although, of course, a bath, a healthy sleep, or a massage with a body wrap can be useful.
“Before sex, a woman needs to relax, and if this is ignored, then she will not enjoy it, only imitating it — after all, her thoughts are unknown where,” adds Diana Genvarskaya.
Evgenia Nazimova that if a woman has children, then they will always be the top of her priorities: “Further it can be family, work, finances, parents, and so on, and somewhere after all this in the area of uXNUMXbuXNUMXbinterest is sex. For most women, especially intellectually developed ones, libido is far from the first place in the hierarchy of values.
In the first place will be a sick child. He can completely deprive the mother of sexual desire, even if her beloved man is next to her. That is why it is so important to learn how to move away from current problems — and a psychologist can help here.
