Is anyone familiar with Female Sexual Arousal Disorder?

Sun, Aug 23, 2009

General

When it comes to sex, I have a mental desire to have sex with my partner. However, none of the physical arousal follows (ie no lubrication, no heart rate increase, no climax, etc). Masturbation does not even do anything for me. Basically, I don’t get turned on, and have never had an orgasm. What causes this? Are there medications that can help? I’ve already tried talking with a therapist, and that did nothing.

    Reasons:
    Estimates of the percentage of female sexual dysfunction attributable to physical factors have ranged from 30% to 80%. The disorders most likely to result in sexual dysfunction are those that lead to problems in circulatory or neurological function. However, recent literature does suggest that there may be an impairment in the arousal phase among diabetic women. Given that diabetic women show a significant variability in their response to this medical disorder, it is not surprising that the disease’s influence on arousal is also highly variable. In fact, the lack of a clear association between medical disorders and sexual functioning suggests that psychological factors play a significant part in the impact of these disorders on sexual functioning.

    Treatment:
    Because the relationship between the woman and her partner has been shown to play a significant role in both the development and the maintenance of sexual problems, most programs are designed to be implemented by the couple, although there may also be additional strategies that focus on the individual.
    An existing tanning drug, bremelanotide, has also been found to increase libido in 90% of subjects, and therefore is being developed with the intention of selling as a treatment for sexual arousal disorder.
