Frigidity, what is it?

Frigidity is a rather vague term, which may include others: for example, a woman who experiences genital pain during intercourse suffers from dyspareunia. A woman who involuntarily contracts her vagina and makes penetration difficult or even impossible suffers from vaginismus. And one can understand that in one case as in the other, sexual intercourse is a test for them and they do not end up dreading it: their "frigidit? is then explained by an organic or psychological cause.

Frigidity can also be defined by the absence of orgasm. If the woman has never hadOrgasmthis can occur with sexual maturity. Many young women have not yet had time to explore the secret continents of their bodies and their fantasies. It will come with time, the love of their partner and the abandonment of certain inhibitions. Other women, on the other hand, had orgasms but these do not happen anymore. Trauma, depression, abandonment of their appetite to discover further sexuality... The pleasure is for a lot in the head.

And male responsibility in all this? Does a frigid woman have a clumsy partner? Some men are inexperienced or in a hurry, or have problems with sexuality. They do not take the time to wait until their wife has reached a Orgasm : do you know that it takes an average of 8 to 10 minutes for a woman to reach theOrgasm ? And this is only the mechanical side of the thing ... That's not to mention the need for fantasies, trust, preliminaries ... And other men are discouraged by the failure of their companies, which has the effect of discouraging their female partner as well.
 
Our advice
In case of dyspareunia, vaginismus, disappearance of theOrgasm, it is good to consult a gynecologist looking for possible organic causes or abnormalities: infection, estrogen decline, double vagina ... A sex therapy can be effective when the medical causes have been eliminated.
