Female sexual dysfunction affects 50% of women

Despite a number of false perceptions, Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) affects around 50% of the female population. Recent studies have found that as many as one in four British women over the age of 35 have never climaxed during sex.

This was uncovered during a detailed study into female sexual dysfunction. Generally speaking, maternal responsibilities and relationship strains were put forward as possible reasons for their symptoms.

An additional piece of research has found that geographical regions are actually factors, given that middle aged women in Scotland were particularly prone to suffering with poor libidos with 38% telling researchers that they don’t have regular sex.

Fresh ideas emerging

Experts have previously looked into whether Female Sexual Dysfunction is a common condition and have subsequently begun to question whether one particular symptom; the inability to have an orgasm during intercourse, could be the result of genetics as opposed to external factors.

Other self styled sex experts have looked into whether the variability of orgasms is down to primal instinct and essentially, a woman’s perception of the ideal mate.

A study conducted at the University of Keele and London included 4,000 twins. The experiment was based on the idea that if one sister was unable to climax, the other should experience the same thing, on the understanding that genetics were a factor. The research proved the theory wrong however as there was no clear correlation.

Anybody suffering with any degree of FSD is strongly advised to seek the advice of a trained health care provider. Help is at hand and it is equally important to discuss the issue with your partner because communication is key to overcoming such problems.
